Why? What are you trying to do?

[JohnBailey]

I started the following thread, then realized there is too much to communicate (it's convoluted like crazy). Thus, I wanted to break the concepts and questions into separate threads and then answer my own question in the following thread:

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=48456

In a few mins, I'll post a very inefficient and messy form of what I'm wanting to do, but it will be a functioning version at least.

See why I am asking this question?

You need to pass an array...otherwise your sending a string.

$aStuff = array('1','2','3','4','5')
example($aStuff)

You can also do ByRef type passes as well when defining your function....it's up to you how you want to pass this stuff around.

You can build you function to accept both single values and arrays of values:

_FuncTest("2")
_FuncTest(3)
$x = 4
_FuncTest($x)
_FuncTest("2 | 4 | 6 | 8")
Dim $avTest[3] = [3,4,5]
_FuncTest($avTest)

Func _FuncTest($Input)
    Local $Msg = "Processing ", $n
    If IsArray($Input) Then
        $Msg &= "multiple columns: "
        For $n = 0 to UBound($Input) - 1
            $Msg &= $Input[$n] & " | "
        Next
        $Msg = StringTrimRight($Msg, 3)
    ElseIf StringInStr($Input, "|") Then
        $Msg &= "multiple columns: " & $Input
    Else
        $Msg &= "a single column: " & $Input
    EndIf
    MsgBox(64, "_FuncTest()", $Msg)
EndFunc

array isn't a function. Did you mean I should make it a function or use _ArrayCreate() ?

You can also do ByRef type passes as well when defining your function....it's up to you how you want to pass this stuff around.

I'm not sure how that works out with this? I don't totally understand ByRef. I've read up on it in the manual, but I don't know why it's important.

(thank you thus far!)

VERY good point.
