I'm Stupid

Could someone please tell me what is wrong with this:

Global $nameArray[3]=["hello", "there", "why"]
Global $resultsArray[3][20]

.... then latter in another function


$resultsArray[0] = $nameArray

I am making a little scipt that takes an array of words $nameArray, makes some random permutations on them and then outputs to the different permutations to the $resultsArray. So I want $resultsArray to looks like this

$resultsArray =

["hello", "there", "why"],

["modifiedhello", "modifiedThere", "modifiedwhy"],

["moreModifiedHello", "moreModifiedTHere", etc....

Sorry about the dumb nature of this question, but I just can not seem to figure it out. I keep getting 'Array variable has incorrect number of dimensions'

I could do something like this:

$resultsArray[0][0] = $nameArray[0]

$resultsArray[0][1] = $nameArray[1]

$resultsArray[0][2] = $nameArray[2]

but that will end up being too much work.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Something like this?

For $x = 0 to ubound($nameArray)-1
   $resultsArray[0][$x] = $nameArray[$x]
Next

You declared your $resultsArray with two dimensions: $resultsArray[3][20]

Then you try to access it as if it were one dimension: $resultsArray[0]

That's why you get the incorrect number of dimensions error.

For the other part of your question, Jos has provided a simple 3 line solution, but won't help your issue unless you call it with the right number of dimensions.

Thank for the information. I appreciate it. For some reason I though you could assign arrays like that. Maybe I am thining to much in c

Got you, I guess I was thinking that $resultsArray[0] would could just be a pointer to the rest of the array or something. Thanks for the info. Now I understand that autoIt does not work like that.
