Arrays larger than 21 items?

[kev51773]

The autoit helpfile lists the array limits as

Arrays: A maximum of 64 dimensions and/or a total of 16 million elements

Yet I cant seem to use arrays larger than 21 items.

I know that _ArrayCreate says it has a limit of 21 but as far as Im aware im not using _ArrayCreate.

Im sure I'm missing something simple here....

HI,

needs beta. I ran into that myself.

Global $array[22] = ['', '1', '2' .... ]

What is wrong with 3.1.1.0 and arrays above 21 elements, th.meger?

Is this a UDF issue? I know of none.

So does that mean that it IS possible to use arrays larger than 21 items?

Yes ?!

15. What are the current technical limits of AutoIt v3?

Here are details of the current technical limits of AutoIt. Please note that some of the limits are theoretical and you may run into performance or memory related problems before you reach the actual limit.

Maximum length of a single script line: 4,095

Maximum string length: 2,147,483,647 characters

Number range (floating point): 1.7E308 to 1.7E+308 with 15-digit precision

Number range (integers): 64-bit signed integer

Hexadecimal numbers: 32-bit signed integer (0x80000000 to 0x7FFFFFFF)

Arrays: A maximum of 64 dimensions and/or a total of 16 million elements

Maximum depth of recursive function calls: 384 levels

[kev51773]

Yes ?!

Thats what I quoted in my original post. I just wasnt sure if it was correct given the problems I'm having.

[MHz]

Yes ?!

Sounds good to me, JdeB

I know of no other bounds unless as specified witch is high enough to use for most?

Edit:

kev51773, perhaps time to show your problems?

You'll have to excuse my horribly messy code (or ignore it at least)

Basically It should parse a csv file, and provide a menu. It works fine until their are 21 entries.

Thanks

Hi,

Needs your csv too for a test run..

csv can be anything really 3 columns separeated by semicolons

ie

1;2;3

4;5;6

7;8;9

10;11;12

It seems to require one blank at the end

Apologies guys, Ive just found some other major problems. Until Ive fixed them I cant really be sure if this issue is real.

I'll post again when Ive ironed out my problems.

Hi,

nothing. But I tried to create an array with more than 21 elements and didn't know the right way to write it. I asked it quite a while ago in the support area. And nobody really could help me.

But then Smoke_N helped out.

No problem. Seems you had or have some issues with arrays yourself. If Smoke_N was able to help then good. We are always there for a fellow member if you ever need help .

yeah I really HAD some issues, because it isn't/wasn't documented in the helpfile how to create an array bigger than 21 elements. I'd appreciate if somebody could amend the helpfile of _ArrayCreate with the typo ...

Global $big_Array[25] = ['', '1', '2', '3' ... '23', '24']

.. to make it clear and easy.

Just a thought.

Ha, we will see.

I see

Remarks

Arrays up to 21 elements are supported.

so _ArrayCreate() looks to be obsolete with the next beta version release as what you showed with "Global $big_Array[25] = ['', '1', '2', '3' ... '23', '24']"? That was just a parameter limit with _ArrayCreate() and not an array limit at all. Duly noted. Yep, the way of using beta is definitely better .
