How do I start a loop through an array at different points? [solved]

[icu 0]

Dear AutoIt Community,

I'm not having any luck figuring out a way that will let me start a loop through an array at different points in the array.

Say I have an array called $av_Array and at this particular time I need the loop to start at $av_Array[159] and continue until it gets to UBound($av_Array). Next time I run the program I might need it to start at $av_Array[5689] and continue until it gets to UBound($av_Array)... how would I go about this?

Compounding my problem is that I have 3 sets of nested loops, the top two of which I'll need to set the loop entry point for.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

icu

I don't know if it helps, but you can try:

Func _LoopArray($aArray, $iStart=0, $iEnd="")
If $iEnd="" Then $iEnd=UBound($aArray)-1
For $i=$iStart To $iEnd
;Do something
Next
EndIf

@taietel: Thank you very much for your help! Your idea works perfectly... I've only changed the EndIf to EndFunc ;-)

Func _LoopArray($aArray, $iStart=0, $iEnd="")
If $iEnd="" Then $iEnd=UBound($aArray)-1
For $i=$iStart To $iEnd
  ;Do something
Next
EndFunc ;==> _LoopArray

Oops... I blame the down arrow.

Glad it fits you.
