I need help duplicating a sequence structure... here's what I mean:
I've got two sequences:
fields = {{{},{}},{},{}} ftypes = ",.E+"
The 4 total "bottom-level" elements in fields correspond to the 4 total elements in ftypes, though the structure for each sequence is different.
What I'd like to do is transform ftypes into the same structure as fields, so that
ftypes = {{',','.'},'E','+'}
Is that clear? Who's got a function for this that works with 4.0? 
Since I know what you're up to* I'll give you a hint. Take a look at INFO.INDICES in TABLEDEF. Then you can use either the seq_store() in eusql or the equivalent (IIRC) in std/sequence.e
