12.3 Record array methods

RecArray object has these public methods:

field(

fieldName)

fieldName can be either an integer (field index) or string (field name).

   >>> r=rec.array([[11,'abc',1.],[12, 'xx', 2.]])
   >>> print r.field('c1')
   [11 12]
   >>> print r.field(0)  # same as field('c1')
   [11 12]

To set values, simply use indexing or slicing, since each field is a numarray:

   >>> r.field(2)[1]=1000; r.field(1)[1]='xyz'
   >>> r.field(0)[:]=999
   >>> print r
   RecArray[ 
   (999, 'abc', 1.0),
   (999, 'xyz', 1000.0)
   ]
