Filling multiple dimensional arrays

[jimg]

Extrapolating what's in the help file, I would expect this to work, but is says "syntax error".

local $var[5,5,7]

$var[0,0] = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]

$var[0,1]= [7,6,5,4,3,2,1]

etc.

My $var array is loaded once, so I suppose I could read a file or something, but the above seemed so straightforward.

BTW, this doesn't work either, which is a nearly direct quote from help:

$local $days[7]

$days = ["Mon","Tue","Wed","Thu","Fri","Sat","Sun"]

but this does, so maybe my help file is out-of-date?

local $days[7] = ["Mon","Tue","Wed","Thu","Fri","Sat","Sun"]

You define $var as a 1D array but you specify 2 dimensions on your assignment statements.

$local is wrong - remove the $ sign.

In fact, if you want to declare a 3D array you need to use :

Local $var[5][5][7]

If you want to assign a value to a specific cell, you need to use :

$var[0][1][5] = "A value"

If you want to instantiate a 3D array, you would need to use :

Local $var[5][5][7] = [[[1,2,3,4,5,1,2], [6,7,8,9,0,1,2]]] ; partly instantiated

Obviously, you are mixing how to declare an array and how to instantiate it.  Please review help file and wiki to better understand how arrays are functioning in AutoIt.

I clearly mistyped the $local example.

I really hate to have a assignment string with 175 values.  I guess I'll use a separate file for the data table.

To transform a string into an Array please have a look at function StringSplit.

Thanks.  I've moved on to an external data file and stringsplit.
