Find Greatest value in a given column of a muti-dimensional array

[koman92040]

hello,

i'm writing a script to overcome the obstacles of our company's nested sub-domains for the LAN and Microsoft Remote assistance.

The final product sloud ping the hostname as well as the hostname in all three nested subdomains, and connect to the fastest responding domain. Right now it connects to the first pingable domain in the list, this is not acceptable as my older version of this script has hung up on outdated dns records on the first loop.

the issue i am running into is i'm doing all the work out of a muti-dimensional array, so i cannot use _ArrayMax() in the traditional meaner. Any ieas

so far my script looks something like this:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
While 1
TCPStartup()
$input = InputBox(@ScriptName, "Hostname:")
If @error Then
Exit
EndIf
$hostname = StringStripWS($input, 8)
Dim $ping[5][3] = [[4],[$hostname],[$hostname & ".example.com"],[$hostname & ".in.example.com"],[$hostname & ".corp.in.example.com"]]
For $loop = 1 To $ping[0][0]
$ping[$loop][1] = TCPNameToIP($ping[$loop][0])
$ping[$loop][2] = Ping($ping[$loop][1])
Next
TCPShutdown()
For $loop = 1 To $ping[0][0]
If $ping[$loop][2] Then
TrayTip("Launching Connection", "Remote Assistance is launching a connection to " & $ping[$loop][0] & " at " & $ping[$loop][1] & " wich responded in " & $ping[$loop][2] & "ms", 30)
Run("msra.exe /offerra " & $ping[$loop][1])
ExitLoop
EndIf
Next
WEnd
