Ok I'm with you now.
That means when I load field 1 into the array, I've actually created an empty array element with my values from field 1 as index.
I was under the impression they are actually loaded as elements into the array with an incremental count 0,1,2,3,...n as index.
So in effect by the time the first part of the script completes, we have the following contents in that array:
Index, Value
foo,cmd1
bar,cmd2
Have I understood this correctly?

ARRAYS
XPC arrays are collections of XPC objects ordered by index. The index is zero-based. XPC arrays are contiguous, and values must exist at all
indexes between zero and the greatest index of the array. A hole in the array can be simulated by using a null object as returned by
xpc_null_create(3).
CREATION
The xpc_array_create() function returns a newly created array. The caller may optionally provide objects, a C array of XPC object references,
to initialize the array. The count is used to specify the size of the C array. If objects is NULL, then count must be zero. If count speci-
fies more elements than are actually present in values or if values is NULL and count is non-zero, the behavior is undefined.
GETTING AND SETTING VALUES
The xpc_array_append_value() function may be used to append a value to the end of an array. This operation increases the count of the values
in the array by one.
The value of a specific index in the array may be set using the xpc_array_set_value() function. The value must be non-NULL, and the index
must already exist (i.e. less than the count provided at creation or extended through previous append operations).
The value at a specific index of an array may be retrieved using the xpc_array_get_value() function. The result of getting a non-existing
index (i.e. one that was not specified at creation or through a previous append operation) in undefined.
PRIMITIVE GET AND SET FUNCTIONS
Various functions exist for retrieving primitive C and operating system types directly from an array without the need for an intermediate
boxed object. See xpc_object(3) for more information.
The special XPC_ARRAY_APPEND constant may be used to append a value to the end of the array instead of operating on a specific index.
