Tables: Getting a row's ID?

bitcloud

Hi,

Is there a very sensible way to get a row ID given a row variable?

I seem to be able to get everything else via eg. getInt, but while I'm able to adjust values on a given row, there doesn't appear to be a logical way to use "removeRow" because I can't extract the ID

Does anyone have any clues here? Thanks in advance.

get a row ID given a row variable

Does your table data contain a unique ID column? If so, use Table.findRow and provide the ID column name and value as the search terms. This will return a Table row index, which you can pass to removeRow.

If not, perhaps you could iterate through the table object using a traditional for loop with index counter and check if TableRow myrow == looprow (they are the same object). If so, Table.removeRow at that index.

Still, it sounds like it would be nice to have Table.removeRow(TableRow row) as part of the official library....
