How do you change specific elements in a char array of string? - JoeB - Oct-30-2017 Consider the following char array: a = chararray((3, 3)) print awhich is displayed as I want to change a specific element. So far I have only figured out how to edit entire rows or the entire array. For example:a[:] = 'b' print a a[1:2] = 'c' print a #a[1:] does nothing etc etc I have tried things such as a[1][2]='K' to no avail. I would think that this would edit the element corresponding to the row in index 1, and the column in index 2, but it doesn't.Some help please? RE: How do you change specific elements in a char array of string? - Mekire - Oct-31-2017 Firstly, you need to make it clear you are using numpy. chararray is not a builtin type.

I tried this in IDLE and got the following result: >>>a = np.chararray((3,3)) >>> a chararray([['', '\x01', ''], ['\x01', '', ''], ['\x01', '\x01', '\x01']], dtype='|S1') >>> a[0][0]='b' >>> a chararray([['b', '\x01', ''], ['\x01', '', ''], ['\x01', '\x01', '\x01']], dtype='|S1') >>> a[1][2]='a' >>> a chararray([['b', '\x01', ''], ['\x01', '', 'a'], ['\x01', '\x01', '\x01']], dtype='|S1') >>> a[0][1]='c' >>> a chararray([['b', 'c', ''], ['\x01', '', 'a'], ['\x01', '\x01', '\x01']], dtype='|S1')Isn't this what you were expecting?
