[Object] Container

A numerically indexed object with lots of useful functionality. You can fill containers using delimited strings, lists saved to a file, or other objects. Add, remove, split, slice, filter, sort, copy, and compare containers. Export container contents back to strings, files, and objects. Ready to be extended for your own Container-based objects.

This project was recently split off from my FileContainer project, and so the current functionality only covers what I wanted to have for FileContainer. Now I'm starting to think about what functionality belongs in a generic container... any feedback is very much appreciated!

Looks nice and useful. Will let you know more upon real life usage.

Thx.

Looks like your script would benefit from variadic functions. Call() is obsolete, but can be written as below (for example):

Call(func, prms*) {
    return %func%(prms*)
}

Oh, excellent! AutoHotkey_L revision 60 makes me very happy. Not just variadic functions, the ByRef change is going to come in handy for an object debugger I've been experimenting with.

and majkinetor - I eagerly await your feedback ^_^
