Return value from a function

[BlueScreen]

Hi all,

Is there a possibility a function can return more than 1 value? If so, how?

I have searched the HELP and couldn't find it...

Thanks,

Thanks,

Can you post an example of what you require as it is not very clear from original post.

The only way I'm aware of being able to return more than one value, is if that value is in an array.

Sure.

Msgbox (0,"",x (5,4))

Func x ($y,$z)
    $New_y=$y*2
    $New_z=$z*2
    
    Return $New_y
    Return $New_z
EndFunc

I want it to return both $New_y and $New_z, but cannot do this:

Return $New_y
Return $New_z

CODE
Msgbox (0,"",x (5,4))

Func x ($y,$z)
    $New_y=$y*2
    $New_z=$z*2
    
    Return $New_y
    Return $New_z
EndFunc

Return $New_y
Return $New_z

Can you apply your suggestion here?

Msgbox (0,"",x(5,4))

Func x ($y,$z)
    $New_y=$y*2
    $New_z=$z*2
    
    Return $New_y & " - " & $New_z
EndFunc

Will that do what you want?

Using an array

$result = x (5, 4)
For $i = 0 To UBound($result) -1
    Msgbox (0,"", $result[$i])
Next

Func x ($y, $z)
    Local $array[2], $New_y, $New_z
    $New_y = $y * 2
    $New_z = $z * 2

    $array[0] = $New_y
    $array[1] = $New_z
    Return $array
EndFunc

Thanks, MHz, that did it...

Thanks,

By definition "Return" statement can return only one value but if you defined a parameter with the byref attribute if you change this parameter inside the function you will get the variable updated in the calling script.
