Hi,

you can do it with udfs. Will that be enough for you?

I am around here for 3 month and keep hearing the work UDF, can someone explain what this does and where to find it?

UDF = user defined function. E.g. a function written by yourself

Here is something to start with

    _ArrayTrimdown - will remove all Array element from the bottom up x times.

yes, I did that exactly, but I was thinking more on a commnad that does it in AutoIT base code.

Then the devs should answer but I suppose IF .. IF they really answer then it is to 99,9 % NO!!!

Meaning WHAT ? (trying to leave room for a positive twist here)

So 11,043.45 of Jos' 11,155 posts were just saying NO!

111.55 YES!

True, isn't it

Don't think I was joking since it could be I kinda fed up with these snide remarks.

Just add those functions to the end of the _Array.au3 file, then you could use them like "AutoIT base code" (even though _Array.au3 isn't "AutoIT base code" to begin with)

what did I wrong this time? He asked for an addition to array.au3 and all I wanted to point out was, if a developer jumps into this thread and answers the questions whether this addition is possible (which you must admit is not guaranteed) then the answer would be 99,9 % No, we won't add this functions.

??? Was that totally wrong? Why shooting at me?

Don't add them to the Array.au3 file, next time you upgrade the version you'll lose your additions.

Just make your own file put them in and include that file.

[ame1011]

Yeah I do that personally but I figured he wanted everything in that one file.

Lets blame it on our way of interpeting English ..... and yes there is a FAT chance that you won't get a reply when posting in the Support forum.

All proposal in Trac will get a reply and Yes it will be often No for obvious reasons ...
