Array Character Limit?

[shutch00]

I have an array with 4,069 characters inside. It works fine until I add character 4,070. I get an error stating "Missing right bracket ')' in expression" even though the bracket is there. Is this expected? Is there a workaround for this issue?

Note: My array should contain 320 elements.

shutch00,

From the "AutoIt3 Limits/defaults" page of the Help file

MAX_LINESIZE - 4095 - Maximum size for a line of script

Are you declaring the entire array in a single line?

I think you have hit the line size limit. Do you write everything in one line?

[shutch00]

I tried continuing the code on the next line, but when I add the underscore _ I get a syntax error. Maybe I am forgetting something?

[shutch00]

Oh... there's a space that comes before the underscore. Whoops! I think I've got it from here. Thanks for your help! I'll get better at looking at those help files, I swear

shutch00,

I am not sure that will work as the lines will be rejoined when run and so still go over the limit. Could you please post the line in question so we can take a look?

Edit: Seems it does work after all!

According to the help file: a long statement can span multiple lines if an underscore " _" preceded by a blank ..

[shutch00]

Melba23, it worked. I continued the array on the next line and was able to add all of the remaining elements.

shutch00,

I edited my post as you posted. Always something to learn.

very interesting. I thought the limit had to do with the data size.
