? Why an associative array is modified, after executing a function?

[malpa]

Hi

I have an associative array, when I want to print this array via a function, I have no problem.

this array is populate whit a file that contain this structure

file.txt

******** begin
data
fin
******** begin
data
fin
********

But if I include into the print cycle another function to capture a record of a file, the original associative array is modified.
I do not understand why. It is no logical, because already the associative array exist. Only I included a function, to extract a certain value , from another file.csv.


function PrintAssociativeArray(arreglo){
for i=1 to counter
{
print arreglo
extract var from arreglo[9]
###value=OpenFiletoExtractValue(var) - If i include this, the associative array is modified. arreglo[2] always
print value
}
}
function OpenFiletoExtractValue(variable, valor){
while ( getline "file.csv")
if variable
return valor
}

##Main
{
populate array
PrintAssociativeArray(array)
}

output without OpenFiletoExtractValue(var) function

Hi

I found the problem. Three days after. I made a mistake

I change this

while ( (getline < "file.csv") > 0 )

for

while ( (getline tmp < "file.csv") > 0 )

that is all.

thanks
