Questions about arrays

[Zopieux]

Hi all,

I have two little interrogations.

First, how to declare a 2 dimensional array without size limit.

E.g. : Dim $array[][2] (but of course it is not working)

Then, I tested the _ArrayAdd function with a 2 dimensional array but it is not working : the func doesn't support it ?

I want to insert "Bar" in the second dimension of $foo[] with the fonction _ArrayAdd for instance. How can I do it ?

Thank in advance !

Best regards,

Zopieux

You need to set the size... You can always increase it with a redim ....

[Zopieux]

Ok, thanks. But what about the second problem ?

[Jos]

Ok, thanks. But what about the second problem ?

just write your own function .... _ArrayAdd() only works on single dimed arrays...

[weaponx]

Dim $array[4][2] = [["John", "Smith"],["Steven", "Tyler"],["Jean", "Grey"],["Abe","Lincoln"]]

_ArrayDisplay($array)

_ArrayAddX($array, "Dan", "Marino")

_ArrayDisplay($array)

Func _ArrayAddX(ByRef $myA, $value1, $value2)
    Redim $myA[Ubound($array) + 1][Ubound($myA, 2)]
    $myA[Ubound($array) - 1][0] = $value1
    $myA[Ubound($array) - 1][1] = $value2
EndFunc

EDIT: This is for 2 dimensions only. Beyond 2 dimensions you have to pass an array to the function and it just looks messy.

Many thanks, I am going to test it right now.

Ok, there is a problem : the debug says :

C:\...\file.au3 (142) : ==> Variable used without being declared.:

Redim $myA[ubound($array) + 1][ubound($myA, 2)]

The function is placed at the end of the code.

What have I to do ?

Hi,

Easiest to get help if you post your script; either add it to your post ["Browse","Upload"], or put it in "AutoIt" message box in edit (under combobox with "Insert Special Item")

Best, randall

Well it tested okay for me but I forgot I changed up some of the variable names.

#include <array.au3>

Dim $array[4][2] = [["John", "Smith"],["Steven", "Tyler"],["Jean", "Grey"],["Abe","Lincoln"]]

_ArrayDisplay($array)

_ArrayAddX($array, "Dan", "Marino")

_ArrayDisplay($array)

Func _ArrayAddX(ByRef $myA, $value1, $value2)
    Redim $myA[Ubound($myA) + 1][Ubound($myA, 2)]
    $myA[Ubound($myA) - 1][0] = $value1
    $myA[Ubound($myA) - 1][1] = $value2
EndFunc

[Zopieux]

EDIT: ok, weaponx, it is now working, but your function adds the entry at the end of the array, even if there is nothing before...

Is it possible to change something/create a new function which fixes the problem ?

What are the original dimensions for your array? Show me the code that declares $Rep

EDIT: I reposted the function. Did you try the new code?

Ok, I have just edited my message. Can you take a look at it ?

[weaponx]

The whole purpose of this is that it lets you declare a 1x2 array and it will redimension it for you. I believe _ArrayAdd would do the same thing for a one-dimensional array.

Fine, I will declare the littlest array I can.

But there is another problem (I hate arrays ) : I will need a function to remove an entry of this 2 dimensional array. Is it possible ? I wonder if _ArrayDelete can work on a 2 dimensional array...

[weaponx]

Dim $array will resize AND delete its contents.

Redim $array will only resize.

So you if you had an array like:

Dim $array[40][2]

Redim $array[45][2] would make it larger

Dim $array[40][2] would flush it

[Zopieux]

Ok, many thanks, problems are resolved !

Best regards.

Hi,

You can use 'Array2D.au3" from my sig, which has Arraydel2D, ArrayInsert2D ets pre-written; or write your own.

I was using large arrays, so converted the UDF to use Scriptcontrol vbs for speed, but originally they were in AutoIt; can find it somewhere if you want.

Best, randall
