Structures

[kzar]

Hi, I am trying to do a script that could really use structures/ objects /somthing to organise it better. So far the only thing I have been using are arrays but they arn't really suited to this problem. I can only find that DLL struct function which doesn't seem like its supposed to be used as a proper datastructure for use in autoit scripts. Is there such a thing or do I have to make do with arrays?

see this post of me: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...mp;#entry273339

I don't know if this still works, so you might just try ....

Well is it possible to access elements of an array thats inside another array?

Somthing like this maybe:

DIM $parent[1]
DIM $child[2]

$parent[0] = $child
$child[0] = "Hello "
$child[1] = "world"

msgbox(0, "Example", $parent[0][0] & $parent[0][1])

Ovbiously that errors because it is trying to access the 2nd dimension in an array with only 1 dimension, but what I am trying to do is access things in the first dimension of the array pointed to by $parent[0].

Notice what happens here:

DIM $child[2]

$parent[0] = $child
$child[0] = "Hello "
$child[1] = "world"

$test = $parent[0]

msgbox(0, "Examples", "Example of $child: " & $child[0] & $child[1] & @CRLF & _
        "Example of $test: " & $test[0] & $test[1])oÝ÷ ÙhZ¶

What goes into $parent[0] is not a pointer to the $child array, just a copy of the array. While those $child elements are in $parent[0] you cannot access them individually. You have to copy that array out from $parent[0] to $test beforehand.
