help on creating a matrix

[MrPook]

Hello,

i'm using AutoIt and i need a way to have links between arrays.

Let me explain : i've got a liste of stuff and each stuff has a list of stuff associated.

I would like to navigate in this "tree" but the only way i figured out until now is creating a temp array for each first stuff.

The problem is that i dont know how many first stuff i'll have, therefore i cant build temp arrays.

Is there any solution to my prob ? (i saw help files but didnt find anything related, same with search option)

Thanks in advance.

You need to provide more information. Multidimensional arrays (2D or 3D) might be an answer, or an "array-of-arrays", which can be dynamically sized by _ArrayAdd(), ReDim, etc.

Since you call them "list of stuff", does that mean a simple 1D array will hold the data, or is it a 2D row/column arrangement?

How many elements are you talking about -- tens, hundreds, thousands, tens-of-thousands?

Will the data be read from/stored to a file, or dynamically created and used in memory only at each run time?

Sorry for the "light" question.

So here it is, it's a 2D array (matrix) like

Dim $toto[1][1]

i tried

_ArrayAdd($toto,$etatDef)

_ArrayAdd($toto,$etatDef)

_ArrayAdd($toto[1],$text)

_ArrayAdd($toto[2],$text1)

_ArrayDisplay ( $toto[1], "TMP")

_ArrayDisplay ( $toto, "TMP")

but it doesn't work.

In terms of size, it won't be more than 1000*1000, and will be stored in memory during the running of the program

Thanks.

That helps. _ArrayDisplay() and _ArraySort() have been updated to use 1D or 2D arrays, but sadly _ArrayAdd() has not.

It's not hard to roll your own with ReDim though, and it has been done to death in other forum topics.
