## tablecopy

tablecopy — Simple, fast table copy opcode.

## Description

Simple, fast table copy opcode.

## Syntax

    tablecopy kdft, ksft

## Performance

kdft -- Destination function table.

ksft -- Number of source function table.

tablecopy -- Simple, fast table copy opcode. Takes the table length from the destination table, and reads from the start of the source table. For speed reasons, does not check the source length - just copies regardless - in “wrap” mode. This may read through the source table several times. A source table with length 1 will cause all values in the destination table to be written to its value.

tablecopy cannot read or write the guardpoint. To read it use table, with ndx = the table length. Likewise use table write to write it.

To write the guardpoint to the value in location 0, use tablegpw.

This is primarily to change function tables quickly in a real-time situation.

## Examples

Here is an example of the tablecopy opcode. It uses the file tablecopy.csd.

    instr 1

    ktrig metro 3						;trigger values
    krnd  random 0, gkmax

    if (ktrig == 1) then

Its output should include a lines like these:

    i1     5.00000
    i1     3.00000
    i1     2.00000
    i1     4.00000
    i1     7.00000
    i1     6.00000
    i1     7.00000
