Why is this not a 2D array?

[Mast3rpyr0]

Do i have to initialize the variable as a 2d array or something? if so then how?

$INI = IniReadSectionNames(@ScriptDir & "\config.ini")
For $i = 1 To Ubound($INI) Step 1
    $INI2 = IniReadSection(@ScriptDir & "\config.ini", $i)
    Local $v = 70
    _ArrayDisplay($ini2)
    GUICtrlCreateLabel($INI2[1][1], 20, $v)
Next

C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\Desktop\AutoIT\Projects\new.au3 (23) : ==> Subscript used with non-Array variable.: 
GUICtrlCreateLabel($INI2[1][1], 20, $v) 
GUICtrlCreateLabel($INI2^ ERROR

It looks like ... it could be ...but it is not.

It is a good practice to not try to create such arrays.

Indeed, you have first created an array ($INI) and in each element of it you have put another array but this is not making $INI to be a 2 dimension array.

You get this error because both $INI and $INI2 are 1 dimensional arrays as returned by IniReadSectionNames.

$INI is only needed for the Ubound part in the For loop, which works.

The one im concerned about is $INI2 why is it not a 2 array? In the array display it looks like it is.

EDIT: $INI2 is not connected to $INI at all.

Sorry - been a little confused (heh - monday morning)

Your ini sections names are [1], [2] and so on? If this is the case then you shouldn't have any problems with your script. If the section names are different (and I guess they are) then IniReadSection will not return an array -> $INI2 won't be an array -> that error ... in this case you need to replace $i with the proper section name ($INI2 = IniReadSection(@ScriptDir & "\config.ini", $i)) and to modify the code accordingly.

Sorry about the confusion in my previous post

[Mast3rpyr0]

Yes thats what the names are.

heres a sample ini

[1]
Reminder=Write A Program
Time=11
Days=Every Day

[2]
Reminder=Write A Program
Time=15
Days=Monday-Friday

[3]
Reminder=Write A Program
Time=23
Days=Wednesday

The script works fine until i try to use the data in the array, _arraydisplay will go through each section as it loops until i try to use the array.

I didn't look at it much, but this fixes the problem with it crashing:

#include <array.au3>
$INI = IniReadSectionNames(@ScriptDir & "\config.ini")
Local $v = 70; declare a variable outside of a loop, otherwise you will keep declaring it over and over which is extremely inefficient
For $i = 1 To Ubound($INI)-1 Step 1
    $INI2 = IniReadSection(@ScriptDir & "\config.ini", $i)
    _ArrayDisplay($ini2)
    GUICtrlCreateLabel($INI2[1][1], 20, $v)
Next

Remember, since arrays are zero based, you must do Ubound($INI)-1. This is because the array starts at zero, so the ubound will always be one larger. That is why you must subtract 1 from the ubound.

I hope that made sense.

Thanks so much guys, Kandie that did it.

[enaiman]

Great

I know about arrays being 0 based but ... I didn't think to look there for the trouble

... and that's why we need help sometime.

Cheers,
