reDim only 1 of multi dimension array

[A.B.Ames]

Hi All,

I'm pretty sure I know the answer but I want to know if i missed something.

I want to know if you can reDim only 1 dimension in a multi dimensional array without having to state the size of the other dimensions and have them stay as they are.

In several areas of my script i will have to increase either the 1st or 3rd dimension and I currently will use ubound to detect the sizes they are at, but i only need to really check the one i want to change (as the others will be checked when they may need to be changed).

so say I start out with:

aArray[10][5][10]

then my script reDims aArray[11][5][10]

now i want to reDim the 3rd dimension, is there a way to code it so

aArray[as-is][as-is][11] (only changing 3rd dimension)

or is the only way to do this by reading all current sizes (via Ubound) and place these values in the dimensions I wish to stay as-is.

I know using Ubound is not a hassle i only ask this because i wish to try to learn to get better and keep my code as simple as possible/needed.

Thx for any assistance,

I just tried this, which didn't work:

Local $Array[1][2][3]
ReDim $Array[][][4]

so it looks like the only way to resize one dimension of a multi-dimensional array is to restate the other dimensions using UBound().

Thx for reponding LxP,

Yeah i tried a few things and that was one too.

Though (after experimenting) i did find that I can use Ubound within the ReDim statment as shown below:

Dim $testArray[5][10][15]
$var = 20
ReDim $testArray[Ubound($testArray,1)][Ubound($testArray,2)][$var]
;--- testing results below
$1dim = UBound($testArray,1); size of Dimension 1
$2dim = UBound($testArray,2); Size of Dimension 2
$3dim = UBound($testArray,3); Size of Dimension 3
MsgBox(0, "Test Array Size", "1st DIM = " & $1dim & @LF & "2nd DIM = " & $2dim & @LF & "3rd DIM = " & $3dim)

I was unaware that this was possible as i had been using variables with the ubound results, but this seems much easier and as of yet i have found no negative results (though someone may know of some).

Again thx for your assistance
