Actually, the approach you describe is the one i use when it goes about dynamic adressing,
as in:
>> labels: ["label1" "label2" "label3"]
>> foreach label labels [select a-block label]
But in this particular case of use, i have to adress deep nested informations, and the
path notation seems more appropriate to me:
>> bennet_raw: ab_results/bennet/total/scale/score/raw/
I guess it's more a coding convention we use inside the project: a label should be word!
Thanks for your suggestion ;-))
