append records to the results of findtask.execute

Anonymous User

I would like to populate a �??results�?? array from a findtask.execute function with additional items.

Essentially create a loop �??

Function getParcel(queryArray) {
var i=0
var results = new array();
for (i=0;i<=5;i++)
{
findParams.searchText = queryArray;
results =   findTask.execute(findParams);
}
}

Now results, is an array of type FindResult, and it says it can�??t be constructed -

http://help.arcgis.com/EN/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jsapi_start.htm

So my �??var results = new array();�?? surely must not be right.  But there must be a way to append additional info into this result set?

Or, what would be great is if I could just set findParams.searchText to an array or delimeted text and it could search on all inputs.

you might try it a different way....

var arResults = new array();

Function getParcel(queryArray) {
  var i=0

  for (i=0;i<=5;i++)
  {
    findParams.searchText = queryArray;
    findTask.execute(findParams,taskCallBack);
  }
}

function taskCallBack(taskResults){
  arResults.push(taskResults);
}

your results array would be global, when the task completes the taskResults are sent to the callback function and the taskResults and pushed into the next spot in the global results array.

one of your possible issues is that no matter how fast your task call is, it likely doesnt return a value from the first execute before the loop is finished looping. so results may be unexpected.
