Groovy - Select position for related arrays and verify contents

Hello,   I have been looking for almost a week now around how to best approach this but cannot find anything.   I have two arrays which are related that are storing values from a loop through a J...

    I'd go with a matrix-approach. Define three lists in a list, one for index and two for your values. The just run find on the index-column and use the value to test the other two columns for what you are looking for. 

     

    def matrix = [[],[],[]];

//Populate the matrix for this example
3.times { i -> 
  matrix​[0][i] = i
  matrix[1][i] = "POST $i"
  matrix[2][i] = "TYPE $i"
}
//matrix
//[[1,     2,      3],
//[POST 0, POST 1, POST 2],
//[TYPE 0, TYPE 1, TYPE 2]]

//Search the indices and check the other two columns 
//for their values using the current index
int indexOfPost2Type2 = matrix[0].find { i -> 
   matrix[1][i] == 'POST 2' && matrix[2][i] == 'TYPE 2'
}
//indexOfPost2Type2 == 2

     

    try it out and see how that works. :)

Thanks for the help, I took on your advice and changed it slightly to create the multi dimension array in the loop through SQL response instead but im facing a memory size issue. Is there a way to change the test case memory allocation through the front end?

There's a whole article explaining how to do it on the soapui docs aktually. Check it out Here.
