Newbie question about Array

[Rorax]

Basically I have this:

#include <Array.au3>
$search = FileFindFirstFile("h:\lex\*.tif")  
Dim $avArray
; Check if the search was successful
If $search = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "No files/directories matched the search pattern")
    Exit
EndIf

While 1
   _ArrayAdd ( $avArray, $search )
WEnd

; Close the search handle
FileClose($search)
_ArrayDisplay ( $avArray, $search )

What I want it to do is search h:\lex for all the tif files, then display it in a array. Plan is eventually to get it to check each file in the array for the time its been created. Then sort the array with the oldest file first, and the newest last. And use a command line to change them from LZW compression to CCITT 4 (maybe check if they are LZW first since they need the colors inverted after converting to CCITT 4) and finally use the array to make a multi-tif file of all of them, starting with the oldest file first, since it was the first file created of the multi tif page.

I've never used a array though so I'm kind of stuck on that part. Just want a few pointers on how to use a array and I can hopefully do the rest on my own.

Like this:

#include <Array.au3>
Local $search = FileFindFirstFile(@ScriptDir & "\*.tif")  
Dim $avArray[1]
; Check if the search was successful
If $search = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "No files/directories matched the search pattern")
    Exit
EndIf

Local $i_Count = 0, $file
While 1
    $file = FileFindNextFile($search) 
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    Redim $avArray[Ubound($avArray)+1]
    $avArray[$i_Count] = $file 
    $i_Count += 1
WEnd
Redim $avArray[Ubound($avArray)-1]
; Close the search handle
FileClose($search)
_ArrayDisplay ( $avArray, "Results:" )

Like this:

#include <Array.au3>
Local $search = FileFindFirstFile(@ScriptDir & "\*.tif")  
Dim $avArray[1]
; Check if the search was successful
If $search = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "No files/directories matched the search pattern")
    Exit
EndIf

Local $i_Count = 0, $file
While 1
    $file = FileFindNextFile($search) 
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    Redim $avArray[Ubound($avArray)+1]
    $avArray[$i_Count] = $file 
    $i_Count += 1
WEnd
Redim $avArray[Ubound($avArray)-1]
; Close the search handle
FileClose($search)
_ArrayDisplay ( $avArray, "Results:" )

Thanks a bunch, I'll try to understand what everything in the code means. But this will give me the start I need. Thanks again.
