[Solved]_ArrayToString is not converting back to string

[Realm 18]

I have a large CSV file that collects stats, and adds to the first stat option, for some reason, It will not convert the $data array back into a string. I have tried a few options with no avail. Maybe some1 can find what is wrong here. this is a the snip from the larger script, I do have all the proper includes. _arraydisply() will properly show the $data as an array before attempting to convert into a string.

While 1
    $r=_ArraySearch($statArray, $name, $sr, 0, 0, 1)
    If @error Then
        _ArrayAdd($statArray, $name&";1;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0")
    Else
        $data=StringSplit($statArray[$r],";")
        If $data[1]=$name Then
            $data[2] +=1
            _ArrayDisplay($data)
            _ArrayToString($data,";",1);<<===Is not converting $data back to string
            MsgBox(0,"$data",$data)
            $statArray[$r]=$data
            MsgBox(0,"$statArray[$r]",$statArray[$r])
        Else
            $sr=$r+1
            ContinueLoop
        EndIf
    EndIf
WEnd

What error are you getting? It always helps to throw in some consolewrites along the way to help debug the code.... you can always comment them out as you move forward towards the end of the code.

It's not throwing an error, its just not converting the array, $data, back in to a string where I pointed., I noticed it in a later _arraydisplay() as a blank line

$data=StringSplit($statArray[$r],";")

what does $data look like right after this?....

[Realm 18]

an array from $data with 0 showing number of elements, and 32 elements as it should read, than it shows the same right after

$data[2] +=1

with the new stat correction.

Edit:corrected typo

_ArrayToString($data,";",1)

shouldn't that one be like $data[1]

I haven't used arraytostring before, so I am taking a stab out there.

No, read the helpfile. It works in other parts of my script, for some reason it does not in this section

My fault... just looked at the wiki. Do you need to spec the end index if you spec the start?

Just started plugging away at some test code... you don't need to spec end...

And I assume the _arraydisply($data) is just a typo in your code...

Just started plugging away at some test code

First of All this is my 'test code'. Secondly, I had been 'plugging away' for over an hour. Third, I only ask for help here when I am truly stuck. Now, What kicks me in the butt, is that you have clearly pointed out that you have no clue how the functions in my code work, and somehow you believe you are the one that can help me. I do appreciate you wanting to help, and I encourage you to help as many as you can, but I suggest skipping the ones, that have a problem or code that you don't understand yourself.

Pretty harsh words against someone trying his best to help you.

It clearly states in the help file that _ArrayToString returns a string, rather than converting the array into one. You're just trying to display the original array in a messagebox.

Nvm, solved it on my own, I forgot to assign it to a variable.

$data=_ArrayToString($data,";",1)
