global arrays and such

[B3TA_SCR1PT3R]

how can i declare an array of unspecified size in global scope?

GLOBAL $list[]

For $xi = 1 To _FileCountLines("C:\List.txt")
        $list[$xi] = guictrlcreatemenuitem("List123")
    Next

you cant. but you can use ReDim to resize it.

thx ill try that once i figure out how to fix this:

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

$list[$xi] = guictrlcreatemenuitem("List123")

^ ERROR

i have:

dim $list[9]
....
....
....
For $xi = 1 To _FileCountLines("C:\List.txt")
        $list[$xi] = guictrlcreatemenuitem("List123")
        redim $list[$xi]
Next

You don't provide enough code to really know, but two things to think about:

you Dim an array with a number representing the total elements it can hold... but array references are 0-based, so an array Dim'd for 9 elements can handle indexes 0-8 (not 1-9). You should probably change your For statement to 0 To ($numLines - 1)

In your code, you're thrashing by doing a Redim inside a loop. You can know the number of elements you need before you enter the loop and can do your Redim before you enter it.

Hi,

not sure about this syntax?; the array does not need redim?

$list[$xi] = guictrlcreatemenuitem("List123"); not sure about this syntax?

What is it supposed to be doing??........

#include<File.au3>

#include<Array.au3>

$file1=FileOpenDialog("Choose File", @ScriptDir, "Files (*.txt)", 1,@ScriptDir&"\AnswerFolders.txt")

dim $list[_FileCountLines($file1)+1]$list[0] =_FileCountLines($file1)+1

For $xi = 1 To _FileCountLines($file1)

;$list[$xi] = guictrlcreatemenuitem("List123"); not sure about this syntax?

$list[$xi] = $xi

Next

_ArrayDisplay($list,"")

wtf you have "Posts: 201" but you know nothing about autoit ...

arrays are 0 based

dim $list[_FileCountLines("C:\List.txt")]
....
....
....
For $xi = 0 To _FileCountLines("C:\List.txt") -1
        $list[$xi] = guictrlcreatemenuitem("List123")
Next
