i'm attempting to loop through a set of arrays, but theses arrays are of
different lengths to cater for various message sizes.
but i want to write the loop only once to cater for this.
how is the best way to model this ?

can i somehow use an unconstrained array ?

if i have my data available in a fixed size array, how can i get this
variable into a format i can loop through, regardless of the size of the
array.
