Subject: Re: Problem with duplicated values in writing to an array

Hi Jan,

Many thanks for your answer.

For me it was a very frustating problem. I should reread the 
"Programming Ruby" and "The Well-Grounded Rubist" books.;-)

Anyhow, I solved the problem by refactoring  the code.

I  have introduced a Code class for the code-array and now I can put the 
code objects in the arr-array.

Greetings,

Thiel
