lionfaggot Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 from what i can see so far arrays have a limit applied, is there any way i can work around this to make an infinite number of columns rows etc. would i have to invoke a new array table once its full? also, arrays are really slow for this leevel of data, autoit doesnt support hash tables does it? it'd be sweet if someone made a hash table function
Moderators Melba23 Posted February 4, 2011 Moderators Posted February 4, 2011 lionfaggot,The current AutoIt limit for an array is "a total of 16 million elements".I would suggest that if you are looking to store anywhere near that number of items then you should be looking at other ways of doing so - perhaps a SQLite database? AutoIt's array funtion are pretty slow as it is and I hate to think of the affect on performance if you were to have an array near max size! As to hash tables, there are a number available in AutoIt (as a quick search would have shown ) - my personal favourite is Nutster's which you can find here.

twitchyliquid64 Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 If you just want to have enough space to not run out of elements I would recommend using the ReDim Command to resize the array on the fly. But as the others say, If you are having anywhare near 25 thousand entries I would recommend using Hash Tables. ongoing projects:-firestorm: Largescale P2P Social NetworkCompleted Autoit Programs/Scripts: Variable Pickler | Networked Streaming Audio (in pure autoIT) | firenet p2p web messenger | Proxy Checker | Dynamic Execute() Code Generator | P2P UDF | Graph Theory Proof of Concept - Breadth First search
