Variable arrays?

This may be a dumb question, but I am a bit rusty with HamsterSpeak. And by "a bit" I mean "extremely."

Is there a way to create an array containing multiple variables? What I'm trying to do at the moment is to write a script that examines objects to see if they'll work for what I'm intend them to do, add the viable objects to an array as variables, and then randomly select a variable from the array to give me a single object to work with during the remainder of the script.

I wrote up my answer as a wiki article:

Alternatively, the specific uniform random selection task you described can be done without an array, using stream processing techniques. Iterate over all the candidate objects doing the following (pseudocode):


There! Now you know how to handle "Big Data".

Thanks! That's a bummer, I was hoping actual arrays were hidden in there somewhere and I just wasn't seeing it. I'll try these alternative methods, though.

I just noticed there's a Q&A forum now.
