Array joining. Language limitation?

[oasis375]

Say I have two arrays:

Local $aArray1[3] = ["one", "two", "three"]

Local $aArray2[3] = [1, 2, 3]

And I want to join them into a simgle 2D Array, resulting in:

$aArray[2][3] = [["one", "two", "three"] , [1, 2, 3] ]

I remember that, with other languages, it's possible to simply do:

$aArray[2][3] = [ $aArray1, $aArray2]

Is there a direct method like this to join arrays, (not by using a loop).

Look at _ArrayConcatenate in the help file

#include <Array.au3>

Local $a1[5] = ["Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday"]
Local $a2[2] = ["Saturday", "Sunday"]

_ArrayDisplay($a1, "Before")
_ArrayDisplay($a2, "Before")

_ArrayConcatenate($a1, $a2)
_ArrayDisplay($a1, "After")

Yes, I know how to concatenate two 1D arrays. If you read again my question, you'll notice that I'm talking about a multidim array. I'm trying to join two 1D arrays into a 2D array (with 2 columns).

$aArray[2][3] = [["one", "two", "three"] , [1, 2, 3] ]

Not the same as:

$aArray[6] = ["one", "two", "three", 1, 2, 3]

No, there is no direct method to do what you want to do.
You have to code it yourself. But that's not too hard

Your arrays are in the wrong orientation. You can use _Predim() to do this - or _ArrayTranspose(). See ArrayWorkshop in my signature.

#include <Array.au3>
#include 'ArrayWorkshop.au3'

Local $aArray1[3] = ["one", "two", "three"]
Local $aArray2[3] = [1, 2, 3]

_Predim($aArray1, 2, True) ; specific to your request
_Predim($aArray2, 2, True)

_ArrayAttach($aArray1, $aArray2)
_ArrayDisplay($aArray1)

Oops, ignore what I just said. Your array declaration syntax is incorrect. 2 columns is easier: simply just attach the arrays in the second dimension.

#include <Array.au3>
#include 'ArrayWorkshop.au3'

Local $aArray1[3] = ["one", "two", "three"]
Local $aArray2[3] = [1, 2, 3]

_ArrayAttach($aArray1, $aArray2, 2)
_ArrayDisplay($aArray1)
