This function reconstructs an "array to text" created with _ArrayToString() and proposed change to _SQLite_Display2DResult() on ticket ​https://www.autoitscript.com/trac/autoit/ticket/3695#ticket.

Test code is at ​https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/197277-_arrayfromstring/

This addition is not code braking.

[BrewManNH]

If $b[$m] == Int($b[$m])

Don't use the double equals sign in comparisons unless you want to do a case sensitive comparison, and in this example from your code would be silly to do.

[argumentum]

Replying to BrewManNH:

If $b[$m] == Int($b[$m])

Don't use the double equals sign in comparisons ...

Regardless of the "double equals" or not, the idea is sound and the code is functional as is.
If it needs correction, just change it on the final review.

[argumentum]

The string to int. idea is just wrong. ( ​https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/197277-_arrayfromstring/?do=findComment&comment=1419627 )
With those lines removed, the revised code would be:

Func _ArrayFromString($s, $sDelim_Col = "|", $sDelim_Row = @CRLF, $iForce2D = 0) ; https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/197277-_arrayfromstring/
	Local $m, $n, $b, $c = StringSplit($s, $sDelim_Row, 3)
	$b = StringSplit($c[0], $sDelim_Col, 3)
	If UBound($c) = 1 And Not $iForce2D Then Return $b
	Local $a[UBound($c)][UBound($b)]
	For $n = 0 To UBound($c) - 1
		$b = StringSplit($c[$n], $sDelim_Col, 3)
		If UBound($b) > UBound($a, 2) Then Return SetError(1)
		For $m = 0 To UBound($b) - 1
			$a[$n][$m] = $b[$m]
		Next
	Next
	Return $a
EndFunc   ;==>_ArrayFromString

[argumentum]

this code should be ready to include ( unlike the prior posts )
