>>You only asked for syntax. Coding with such syntactic sugar to eliminate the redundancies will IMO still be a patch - the code is the equivalent to recurring fields in a record before normalization. So create a record/object for each index to clean up and hang those objects into a list, dict or even easier an array with index as index. So now you have some refacturing advice as well...

this really grates my nerves. Some lazy/stupid table design percolated into repeating code - making the whole thread necessary to ask for tricks to patch things up. Should be a lesson to those not trying for at least 1NF design.
