WAD "setarray /f" only overwrites the first array var

[Juppycmd]

You can set multiple arrays on one line, but the /f parameter only applies to the first one - the others keep throwing an error:

C:\]setarray x[10] y[10]

C:\]setarray x[10] y[10]
TCC: Array variable is already defined "x"
TCC: Array variable is already defined "y"

C:\]setarray /f x[10] y[10]
TCC: Array variable is already defined "y"

This is unfortunate since setlocal strangely doesn't apply to arrays unsetarray'ing each and every one before setarray'ing it is a nuisance. The other choice - multiple settarray /f lines - clutters the code.

WAD - this is a feature request, not a bug report. /F (and /R) only operates on a single existing array.

You can add this to the suggestion list if you would like to see it in a future version of Take Command.

Right, looking again at how the [] are placed in the docs you're probably right - though applying the /f to every array var seems more natural to me as there's no way to place other successive /f for them.
