Need array help

[E1M1]

Hello, can anyone help me with array plz?

my program starts with

$Items[0] = ""

and I get result

C:\My Documents\11-2008\myscript3.au3(1,20) : WARNING: $Items possibly not declared/created yet
$Items[0] = ""
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^
C:\My Documents\11-2008\myscript3.au3 - 0 error(s), 1 warning(s)
->22:22:26 AU3Check ended.rc:1
>Running:(3.2.12.1):C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\autoit3.exe "C:\My Documents\11-2008\myscript3.au3"    
C:\My Documents\11-2008\myscript3.au3 (1) : ==> Expected a "=" operator in assignment statement.:
$Items[0] = ""
$Items^ ERROR

I want to create function that generates array and as I understood I must define $items before I can create array.Also my function will always generate different number of array items.

It would be great if someone would give me an example about creating array[n]

Thanks!

right from the help file under DIM

To initialize an array, specify the values for each element inside square brackets, separated by commas. For multiple dimensions, nest the initializers. You can specify fewer elements in the initializer than declared, but not more. Function calls can also be placed in the initializers of an array. If the function call returns an array, then the one array element will contain that returned array.

Dim $Array1[12]=[3, 7.5, "string"], $array[5] = [8, 4, 5, 9, 1]

Dim $Grid[2][4]=[["Paul", "Jim", "Richard", "Louis"], [485.44, 160.68, 275.16, 320.00]]

Dim $Test[5] = [3, 1, StringSplit("Abe|Jack|Bobby|Marty", "|"), Cos(0)]

thanks, now I tried

Dim $RemoveItems[1]
$RemoveItems[0] = 0
....
....
$Items[0] += 1
$Items[1] = $text

and I got

Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.:
$Items[1] = $text

Adding 1 to theh [0] element does not create a new [1] element that wasn't there before. If you want to resize the array without destroying its contents, use ReDim:

Dim $RemoveItems[1]
$RemoveItems[0] = 0
....
....
$Items[0] += 1
ReDim $Items[$Items[0] + 1]
$Items[1] = $text

Thanks, but now I have new proplem sorry for posting so much

Now I have

Dim $Items[1]

$Items[0] = 0

....

....

Case $Button1

Func1($Items)

Case $Button2

For $i = 1 To $Items[0]

If $Items[0] = 0 Then

ExitLoop

EndIf

$Name = $Items[$i]

Func2($sName)

....

....

Func Func1(byref $Items)

;every time new text gained, array resized and new text added as Items[n]

$Items[0] += 1

$Items[1] = $text

EndFunc

....

func Func2()

EndFunc()

When I click on $Button2 I get error says:

Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.:

$sName = $Items[$i]

So where did you ReDim the array...?
