Quick modification of array elements

[Quinch]

There's probably a simple way to do this, but I can't seem to find it; I'm trying to find a way to quickly insert a series of values into a two-dimensional array. I know I can do this when I'm initially declaring the array, but I will need to do that long after the array has been declared.

An example would be;

Dim $Actors[10][9]

{stuff happens, and I now have some of the variables I'll need to input into the array, and I want to insert nine values into the first row}

HypotheticalInsertIntoArrayFunction($Actors[0], 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)

Regards,

Quinch

EDIT: A quick clarification, I know I can modify individual values with $var[0][0] = "bleh", or setting up a function with a For/Next loop, but it seems as though it would seriously slow down the script.

you could use for loop to do that

EDIT: Sorry haven't seen you already wrote that. But it is still the best way to do it

Some For/Next loops would be the ONLY way to do this, but 10x9 array only has 90 elements and can be completely re-written in a few microseconds. Unless your real array is MUCH bigger, time won't be a significant factor.

Also, you did say "insert" not "overwrite", so you would first have to change the size of the array without destroying data, using REDIM, before moving/adding data.

Read up on REDIM in the help file.

Yeah, odds are the size of the dimensions might be in the deep hundreds, so time might become an issue {mostly due to lots of testing and retesting, but I can test with smaller arrays}. Also, yeah, originally it's insert since the array will be created blank {thus, values would need to be "inserted" into the array}, but overwrite/modify would have been a less misleading term. Anyhow, thanks for the help.

Hi,

If you need faster for huge inserts, , use vbscript as in "Array2D.au3"as in my link in signature.

Best, randall
