_ArraySort Errors

[laurin1]

This was the first time i've tried to use the array functions, and i'm getting errors that i don't understand. This is what i get with _ArraySort. i get errors with _ArrayDisplay too.

My array is a two dimensional.

Line 0 (File "\\daladm01\oa\Drivers\Install Drivers.exe"):

If $a_Array[$Count] > $a_Array[$Count + $Gap] Then

If ^ ERROR

Error: Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.

You'll need to post the script for the 1 error.

_ArrayDisplay

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Displays a 1-dimensional array in a message box.

Many array problems are that a 10 element array starts at 0.

$a_array[0]

$a_array[1]

$a_array[2]

$a_array[3]

$a_array[4]

$a_array[5]

$a_array[6]

$a_array[7]

$a_array[8]

$a_array[9] ; 10th element

so be careful when using things like $a_array[$count]

if your script ever hits $count=10 or:

in the case of $a_Array[$Count + $Gap]

$Count + $Gap=10, you will error out in a 10 element array.

I would imagine that you are doing a test like:

Dim $a_array[10]
$a_array[0]=12
$a_array[1]=14
$a_array[2]=16
$a_array[3]=18
$a_array[4]=19
$a_array[5]=123
$a_array[6]=124
$a_array[7]=125
$a_array[8]=126
$a_array[9]=128
$gap=1
for $count=0 to 9
 If $a_Array[$Count] > $a_Array[$Count + $Gap] Then 
msgbox(1,"ha!","")
endif
next

This code will crash just as easy as if you forget to assign an array variable in the _ArraySort() function like using:

_ArraySort($myarray)

instead of :

$sortedarray=_ArraySort($myarray)

If you get an error there, I'll bet it's in the line preceeding.

hmm, i'm not sure where the confusion is, but i'm trying to use the User Defined functions for manipulating arrays that i downloaded from this site.

The one i'm trying to use is _ArraySort, and I've also tried _ArrayDisplay. Both generate errors.

My script is very long, but here is where i'm trying to use it:

Func ListDrivers()
    
    Dim $iDriverNum
;MsgBox(0, "test", "test")
    GUICtrlDelete($cboDriverList)
    
    If GUICtrlRead($cboMachines) = "Select the machine" Then
        
        Return
        
    EndIf
    
    WriteLog(GUICtrlRead($cboMachines) & ' selected.')
    $cboDriverList = GUICtrlCreateCombo("All", 210, 10, 200)
    $sDrivers = IniReadSection("Install Drivers.ini", GUICtrlRead($cboMachines))
    
    _ArraySort($sDrivers)
        
    For $iDriverNum = 1 to $sDrivers[0][0]
        
        GUICtrlSetData($cboDriverList, $sDrivers[$iDriverNum][0])
        
    Next
    
EndFunc

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

#include <Array.au3>

_ArraySort ( ByRef $a_Array, [[[[[$i_Descending], $i_Base=0], $i_Ubound=0], $i_Dim=1], $i_SortIndex=0] )

Parameters

$a_Array Input Array to be sorted.

$i_Descending Optional: 1=Sort Descending else Ascending.

$i_Base Optional: Start Array index for sort, normally set to 0 or 1.

$i_Ubound Optional: Set the UBound for sorting which will only sort the defined number of entries in stead of the whole array.

$i_Dim Optional: Number of occurrences in the second dimension

eg $A[100] = 0, $A[100][2] = 2, $A[100][5] = 5

$i_SortIndex Optional: The index to Sort on.

You will have to tell _ArraySort that you want to sort an 2 dimensional array.... something like:

_ArraySort($sDrivers,0,0,0,2)

[blindwig]

_ArrayDisplay() does not work on 2-d arrays.

use instead my _ArrayBox() function for 2d arrays:

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=12720

or my _ArrayNMap() function for multi-dimensional or nested arrays:

_ArraySort($sDrivers,0,0,0,2)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

When I do that, the function removes all the data from my array.

Dunno what your problem is you are having but let me give you an example of how this works..

This is a 2 dimension array which is first displayed then sorted on the first dimension, displayed and then sorted on the second dimension which is the original order:

#include <Array.au3>
Dim $avArray[10][2]
$avArray[0][0] = "JPM"
$avArray[1][0] = "Holger"
$avArray[2][0] = "Jon"
$avArray[3][0] = "Larry"
$avArray[4][0] = "Jeremy"
$avArray[5][0] = "Valik"
$avArray[6][0] = "Cyberslug"
$avArray[7][0] = "Nutster"
$avArray[8][0] = "Tylo"
$avArray[9][0] = "JdeB"
For $x = 0 to UBound($avArray) -1 
    $avArray[$x][1] = $x
Next
ConsoleWrite("**** Unsorted"& @LF)
_ArrayDisplayMult($avArray)
_ArraySort( $avArray,0,0,0,2,0)
ConsoleWrite(@LF & @LF & "**** sorted dim 1"& @LF)
_ArrayDisplayMult($avArray)
_ArraySort( $avArray,0,0,0,2,1)
ConsoleWrite(@LF & @LF & "**** sorted dim 2" & @LF)
_ArrayDisplayMult($avArray)

Func _ArrayDisplayMult($aivArray)
    For $x = 0 to UBound($aivArray) -1 
        ConsoleWrite($aivArray[$x][0] & @lf)
    Next
EndFunc
