Recursive expressions

Use a recursive expression to insert a variable in the place of an index or key of a dictionary, list, record, or table variable.

A recursive expression contains a variable nested inside of another variable (the outer variable). The value of the outer variable is conditional based on the value of the nested variable.

For example, the list variable $listOfPlanets$ has the following values: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The Number variable $indexPosition$ has value of 2. The expression $listOfPlanets[$indexPosition$]$ returns Earth.

The following types of expressions are supported. You can create a recursive expression containing up to 10 expressions.

$dictionaryVariable{$key$}$
$listVariable[$index$]$
$recordVariable[$index$]$
$tableVariable[$rowIndex$][$columnIndexOrName$]$

Note:

You cannot use a Table variable within a List variable. For example, the following expression is not supported: $vListStr[$vTable[0][0]$]
You cannot combine expressions with properties. For example, the following expression is not supported: $dictionaryVar{$listStrVar[2]$}.String:reverse$
