_ArrayToString pull zero column

[pongmaster21 0]

In the following script I would like to pull just the zero row and column but it defaults to displaying all. Using "_ArrayToString($avArray, " ", 1, 1)" works great if you only want row one and column one.

How can I get only row and column zero?

#include <Array.au3>

Dim $avArray[20]

; Populate test array.

For $i = 0 to UBound( $avArray ) - 1

$avArray[$i] = Random( 100, 200, 1)

Next

_ArrayDisplay($avArray, "$avArray")

MsgBox(0, "_ArrayToString() getting items", _ArrayToString($avArray, " ", 0, 0))

- "zero row and column" ... why not use $avArray[0] ?

The problem is that the start and end values are zero by default. when you pass 0's to the parameters, you are sending the defaults. The only thing I can suggest is to raise the element in 0 by using _ArrayPush($avArray, "", 1) and then reading element 1 _ArrayToString($avArray, "", 1, 1)

Because _ArrayToString($avArray, " ", 1, 1) = $avArray[1], logically, _ArrayToString($avArray, " ", 0, 0) should equal $avArray[0].

By modifying the function _ArrayToString from the #include <Array.au3> file, logic will prevail.

#include <Array.au3>

Dim $avArray[20]

; Populate test array.
For $i = 0 To UBound($avArray) - 1
    $avArray[$i] = Random(100, 200, 1)
Next

_ArrayDisplay($avArray, "$avArray")
MsgBox(0, "_ArrayToString() getting items", _
        "$avArray[0]: " & __ArrayToString($avArray, " ", 0, 0) & " = " & $avArray[0] & @CRLF & _
        "$avArray[1]: " & __ArrayToString($avArray, " ", 1, 1) & " = " & $avArray[1])


; Copied from #include <Array.au3>  and modified, and renamed with 2 pre underscores.
Func __ArrayToString(Const ByRef $avArray, $sDelim = "|", $iStart = 0, $iEnd = 0)
    If Not IsArray($avArray) Then Return SetError(1, 0, "")
    If UBound($avArray, 0) <> 1 Then Return SetError(3, 0, "")

    Local $sResult, $iUBound = UBound($avArray) - 1

    ; Bounds checking
    ;If $iEnd < 1 Or $iEnd > $iUBound Then $iEnd = $iUBound ; Original line in UDF.
    If $iEnd < 0 Or $iEnd > $iUBound Then $iEnd = $iUBound ; Above line changed to.
    If $iStart < 0 Then $iStart = 0
    If $iStart > $iEnd Then Return SetError(2, 0, "")

    ; Combine
    For $i = $iStart To $iEnd
        $sResult &= $avArray[$i] & $sDelim
    Next

    Return StringTrimRight($sResult, StringLen($sDelim))
EndFunc   ;==>__ArrayToString

Why in the world would somebody want to use _ArrayToString just to get the value for a single element? "row zero and column zero" means only one element for God's sake.

You want to modify the above function to return that cell value? Be my guest; just don't forget to write a 50 lines script to calculate how much "1+1" is.

Really guys - this is a help request not a challenge.
