Is there a way to Delete all data in a single 1D array with a Function, User defined or otherwise?

[LizardLord]

I am working on a small script that will determine changes to a Folder/File in real time and automaticley inform me of this and replace the file with a backup version, everything seems to be going well, althouh I was Wondering is there a way to delete all data in an entire array with a function, or do i have to write it custom.

Dim $aNumbers[100]
For $x = 0 to UBound($aNumbers) - 1
    $aNumbers[$x] = $x
Next

MsgBox(0, 'Empty array', '$aNumbers is an array: ' & IsArray($aNumbers))
$aNumbers = ''  ; Delete all data
MsgBox(0, 'Empty array', '$aNumbers is an array: ' & IsArray($aNumbers))

Dim $aNumbers[100]
For $x = 0 to UBound($aNumbers) - 1
    $aNumbers[$x] = $x
Next

MsgBox(0, 'Empty array', '$aNumbers is an array: ' & IsArray($aNumbers))
$aNumbers = ''  ; Delete all data
MsgBox(0, 'Empty array', '$aNumbers is an array: ' & IsArray($aNumbers))

This will empty the array, but it also destroys the array.

So if you want to clear it using this method and then repopulate it, you will have to declare it again afterwards:

$aNumbers = '' ; Delete all data
MsgBox(0, 'Empty array', '$aNumbers is an array: ' & IsArray($aNumbers))
Dim $aNumbers[100]

The critical questions are whether you want it to still be an array, and if so with how many elements?

Simply destroy the array - no longer an array type:

$avArray = ""

Destroy all elements - still a minimal array type with only one null element:

Dim $avArray[1]

Null the data in all elements - still an array of the same size:

Dim $avArray[Ubound($avArray)]
