Set the ArrayChar values from the characters in the String . Rank must be 1 or greater . If String longer than ArrayChar ignore extra chars ; if shorter fill with 0 . If rank 1 set entire ArrayChar ignoring ima . If rank > 1 treat the ArrayChar like an array of Strings of rank - 1 and set the row indexed by ima . For example rank 3 : <p > <code > String [] [] val ; ArrayChar ca ; Index ima = ca . getIndex () ; int rank0 = ca . getShape () [ 0 ] ; int rank1 = ca . getShape () [ 1 ] ; <p / > for ( int i = 0 ; i<rank0 ; i ++ ) for ( int j = 0 ; j<rank1 ; j ++ ) { ima . set ( i j ) ; ca . setString ( ima val [ i ] [ j ] ) ; } < / code >
