Trying to pass an array to a function, but it doesn't like function declaration. Realize the example declares it as global but I want to pass in different arrays so I don't want to specify specific array name in function.

Dim $bob[2]

$bob[0] = "Hey 1"
$bob[1] = "Hey 2"

SendArray($bob)


Func SendArray($funcArray[])

MSgbox(0, "funcArray 0 in function", $funcArray[0])
MSgbox(0, "funcArray 1 in function", $funcArray[1])

EndFunc

Dim $bob[2]

$bob[0] = "Hey 1"
$bob[1] = "Hey 2"

SendArray($bob)


Func SendArray($funcArray)

MSgbox(0, "funcArray 0 in function", $funcArray[0])
MSgbox(0, "funcArray 1 in function", $funcArray[1])

EndFunc

It just has to work. Remember that arrays are variables too. So no need for the "[]" when passing the whole array.

One note:
Consider ByRef for speed optimization reason.

Func SendArray($funcArray)

Func SendArray(ByRef $funcArray)

If you don't use ByRef then input array is COPIED to local variable (param)
If you use ByRef then no COPY is performed.

Thanks.

I thought I would have to specify I was passing an array but, likely due to the variant type, it doesn't need this specificity.

Thanks all
