two dimensional array question

[frontmill]

hey guys, i've got a (probably kind of stupid) question about how to define a 2 dimensinal array. This is the function i need it for, i used dim, but that doesnt seem to work. please help me . Thanks in advance!

func _scanareacolor($i_xleft,$i_yupper,$i_xright,$i_yunder,$i_color)
 $xpointer = $i_xleft
 $ypointer = $i_yupper
 $ystop = $i_yunder + 1
 dim $check
 While $ypointer <> $ystop
  $color = PixelGetColor($xpointer,$ypointer)
  if $color = "000000" Then
   $check[$ypointer][$xpointer] = 1
  Else
   $check[$ypointer][$xpointer] = 1
  EndIf
  If $xpointer = $i_xright Then
   $ypointer = $ypointer + 1
   $xpointer = $i_xleft
  Else
   $xpointer = $xpointer + 1
  EndIf
 WEnd
Return $check
EndFunc

look in the help under dim

[frontmill]

yeah i already read that, but i still don't get it. The help file only speaks of a way to give a value to variable right away, like this:

Dim $Grid[4][4]=[["Paul", "Jim", "Richard", "Louis"], [485.44, 160.68, 275.16, 320.00]]

but it doesnt say anything about what im trying to do.

[improbability_paradox]

dim $check[a number here][another number here]

for example, dim $check[2][2] would create an array that can store data at

$check[0][0]

$check[0][1]

$check[1][0]

$check[1][1]

make sense?

I don't understand what you are trying to do with your setup. But by the Function name, I am going to assume you are trying to get all the specific colors found in a region. If that is the case, try this. http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...st&p=266683
