how to assign 'a' to 'z' to an array

Hi,

How do I assign the value of 'a' to 'z' to an array? Thanks

Look at

For Next

Chr()

You forgot the RegExp... $avArray = StringRegExp("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz", ".", 3)

Or

$avArray = StringSplit("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz", "")

#include <Array.au3>
;Outputs A-Z
Dim $array[26]
For $i = 0 to 25
    $array[$i] = Chr (65+$i) 
Next
_ArrayDisplay ($array)

;Outputs a-z
Dim $array[26]
For $i = 0 to 25
    $array[$i] = Chr (97+$i) 
Next
_ArrayDisplay ($array)

;Outputs random case.

Dim $array[26]
For $i = 0 To 25
    $cap = Random (0, 1, 1)
    If $cap = 1 Then
        $pre = 65
    Else
        $pre = 97
    EndIf
    $array[$i] = Chr ($pre+$i) 
Next
_ArrayDisplay ($array)

Cheers,

Brett

Thank You so much everybody for the help.

Ok, I had to do some performance testing.

On my laptop (Celeron 1.7Ghz) here were my results.

PsaltyDS' Method

Zedna's Method

BrettF's Method

To be honest, my first attempt looked exactly like BrettF's. I really need to get it in my head to check out the RegExpr functions when I deal with strings; but it appears in this particular case a good 'ol stringsplit does the trick.
