How to check empty array entries

[Ursie]

What is the best wayt to check for an empty array entry.

I tried to use "If array[3][8] = "" Then array[3][8] = _NowCalc ()"

But that doesn't work somehow

What method i need to use then ?

Thnx for the help in advance

Should work...assuming you are putting a $ in front of Array.

Oh yeah sorry about the missing $

But i can tell you that it doesn't work.

I even tried Msgbox ( 0 , "DEBUG" , "|" & $array[3][8] & "|" )

And that show to me as ||

So i don''t know what is going wrong here.

Well it is most probarly my little brain that is causing the problem then

Yes it does.. here is a simple example to demonstrate it works:

Dim $array[5]
$array[0] = "A"
$array[2] = "C"
$array[4] = "E"
For $x = 0 to 4
    If $array[$x] = "" then MsgBox(0,"demo","Array entry is empty:" & $x)
Next

If $array[3][8] = '' Then what do you expect to see as a return?

Local $array[4][9]
$array[3][8] = 'Something'
MsgBox(0, 'Debug', '|' & $array[3][8] & '|');Should be |Something| as a value
$array[3][8] = ''
MsgBox(0, 'Debug', '|' & $array[3][8] & '|');should be || as a value

I like Jdebs example explaining it better though
