create an array of unknown size

[t0ddie]

i want an array, but im not sure how big because i need user input to determine that.

should i just make some huge number that will most likely not be reached?

or is there a better way?

something like this.

$i = 0
while 1
$test[$i] = inputbox("testing","enter some stuff, type EXIT to exit")
$i = $i + 1
if $test[$i] = "exit" then
exit
endif
wend

what would i call before that....

dim $test[9999];????????????????

i doubt the user has that much info to enter, but i just dont know how much!

this is more programming related than general autoit related, but i figured i would ask here anyways

dim $test[1]
$i = 0
while 1
   redim $test[$i + 1]
   $test[$i] = inputbox("testing","enter some stuff, type EXIT to exit")
   if $test[$i] = "exit" then
   exit
endif
wend

look at it again, was typing it in and hit a key like i do in my editor, it entered the code before i was finished.
