Help with arrays

[Necromorph]

im try to do some stuff with Active Directory, and i just found the AD UDF's and have been playing with them, anyway, everthing is listed to an array be it 1D or 2D. i want to extract specific values from this array

#include<AD.au3>
#include<Array.au3>

_AD_Open()

$adObj = _AD_GetObjectProperties()

_AD_Close()

now, i want the "Department" fields value, which in the user i am running this under is $iIndex = 9 but i don't want the index, or Col 1 value, i want Col 2 value, the actual comapany name.

i have tried this

MsgBox(0, '', $adObj[9])

but of course that doesn't work. im not sure how to manipulate this 2D array. and i didn't find a function under the _ArrayManagement UDF's.

thanks for any help.

Try this to see the entirety of your array:

_ArrayDisplay($adObj)

And try this to see the one element you want (you'll need to change the #'s):

MsgBox(0, '', $adObj[3][9])

thanks for you help, exodius, and i know about the _ArrayDisplay($iArray), and the second example you put doesn't work, atleast not in a MsgBox, as i stated in my original post, though it may if you do this

MsgBox(0, '', _ArrayToString($adObj, "|", 9, 9))

but i havent tried that

i did find i can do this:

#include<AD.au3>
#include<Array.au3>

_AD_Open()

$adObj = _AD_GetObjectProperties(@UserName, "department, displayName")

_AD_Close()

_ArrayDisplay($adObj)

so that gets me the specific values i need, i should have rtfm more closely haha, but i still need to work on just getting the Values, out of the array, thanks again!!

Nevermind about the

MsgBox(0, '', _ArrayToString($adObj, "|", 9, 9))

you cannot use the _ArrayToString() UDF on a 2D Array, 1D only, that is why the MsgBox() doesnt work.

im not sure what the point is of 2D Array's, all the UDF's for _Array*() all return @error codes if its not a 1D array. so, i guess now that i have a way to get one specific item for AD, how do i pull that value from the 2D array, i can't use the _ArrayToString() UDF, im not sure what else i can do to get the value(s) i need.

i can't believe how easy it was, and i apologize for being so ignorant

#include<AD.au3>
_AD_Open()

$adObj = _AD_GetObjectProperties(@UserName, "department")

_AD_Close()

MsgBox(0, "Current User Dept", $adObj[1][1])

i can't believe the answer was just two subscripts. i do with that there was some better documentation on how to use 2D Arrays. anyway, happy coding.
