I thought the syntax for creating array<type> expressions in vex went like this:
But that gives error:
```
"Read only expression on left side of assignment"

```
What am I doing wrong here?

There's nothing wrong with your syntax. Probably the issue is the context you are working in.

Save, close and try restarting the houdini s3ssion..
sometimes the wrangle node is funky drunky

nothing to do with array attributes

you are trying to write to read only attribute binding

Wrangle has parameter called Attributes To Create, which is by default * therefore all attributes are writable
however if name of your @ attribute binding doesn't match the pattern in that parm you can't write to it

this may be case in some VEXpressions on POP nodes where you don't have access to Attributes To Create which is inside and is not including your attribute name
in such cases you can force it by using export keyword

export int @gf[];
i[]@gf = array(1,2);

This worked for me!
