Combining 2 lists in particular way...

Question

I have two lists: one is the player names and the other is their equipment. John, Sally, Frank, Ed Rifle, m16, hunting knife, revolver What I want to do is have:

John(new line) m16

Sally(new line) Hunting Knife

Frank(new line) Revolver

Ed(new line) Rifle

Will the JSON Utility accomplish this or do I need something else? Would I use Add range with nested for statements? Or convert one or both to arrays. Am I even in the ballpark?

Thanks!

You can add stuff to a JSON string like...

 {name, level, stenght, weapon, other}

Then store each JSON string in a list.

Then you would get item from list and parse JSON string to retrieve data.

I suggest you use SimpleJSON, look it up, it is well documented;

It's hard to know what you want but if you want emulate Zip MSDN which is availeble only since .Net 4.0. You can create your extension method.

 public static class Helper
 {
     public static IEnumerable<TResult> Zip<TA, TB, TResult>(
         this IEnumerable<TA> seqA, IEnumerable<TB> seqB, Func<TA, TB, TResult> func)
     {
         if (seqA == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("seqA");
         if (seqB == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("seqB");
 
         using (var iteratorA = seqA.GetEnumerator())
         using (var iteratorB = seqB.GetEnumerator())
         {
             while (iteratorA.MoveNext() && iteratorB.MoveNext())
             {
                 yield return func(iteratorA.Current, iteratorB.Current);
             }
         }
     }
 }

Then you can do this

 List<string> names = new List<string> {"kirill", "mifody", "ktulho"};
 List<string> guns = new List<string> { "m1","ak45","non"};
     
 var all = names.Zip(guns,(f,s) => f+" "+s);
 foreach (var merged in all)
 {
       print(merged);
  }

output is:

"kirill m1"

"mifody ak45"
