Call like this:
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
GoodArray("strNotes", OBJECT_SELF, "[do] [re] [mi] [fa] [so] [la] [ti]", TRUE);
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
...to set array on self called strNotes with 'do' in pos1, 're' in pos2 etc...
Great for not having to use SetLocalArray a million times in a row if you have
many positions to set. Can also be used to set an array of ints.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
strNameArray = Name of the array
oArrayOn     = Object your setting it on
strTheArray  = The long string with brackets representing all positions
nIsAString   = TRUE or FALSE answer to "Is this an array of strings?" (not ints)
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////*/
#include "nw_o0_itemmaker"
void GoodArray(string strNameArray, object oArrayOn, string strTheArray, int nIsAString)
{
string strPiece = strTheArray;
string strLbracket = "[";
string strRbracket = "]";
int nLbracketPos;
int nRbracketPos;
int nToSubtract;
string strArrayPiece;
int nLoops = 1;
string strWithout;
    while(nLbracketPos >= 0)//While there is still a left bracket
    {
    nLbracketPos = FindSubString(strPiece, strLbracket); // Gets first Left bracket position
    nToSubtract = nLbracketPos + 1;// Sets var to position above +1
    strWithout = GetStringRight(strPiece, GetStringLength(strPiece) - nToSubtract);//Gets string minus the first left bracket
    strPiece = strWithout;// sets piece to itself minus the first left bracket
    nRbracketPos = FindSubString(strPiece, strRbracket);//in new piece sets R bracket position
    strArrayPiece = GetStringLeft(strPiece, nRbracketPos);//sets array piece to first bit in brackets
    if(nIsAString == TRUE)
    {
        SetLocalArrayString(oArrayOn, strNameArray, nLoops, strArrayPiece);//sets array
    }
    else
    {
        SetLocalArrayInt(oArrayOn, strNameArray, nLoops, StringToInt(strArrayPiece));//sets array
    }
    nToSubtract = nRbracketPos + 1;//sets var to rbracket pos +1
    strWithout = GetStringRight(strPiece, GetStringLength(strPiece) - nToSubtract);//gets string minus first array part
    strPiece = strWithout;//sets piece to itself minus the first array part
    nLbracketPos = FindSubString(strPiece, strLbracket); // sets var for Left bracket position
    nLoops = nLoops + 1;//increments var
    }
