dynamic arrays

[Richard Rae]

Is therenany way to vary the size of an array during runtime so that it contains only the range of values that you need.i.e sometimes it may contain no data and other times it could contain a lot of data.

Did you read the tutorial's "adnvanced" section?

You can do this:

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

DIM a[5]
a[4] = 12
DIM a[2][9]
a[1][7] = 2
DIM a[0] // free memory
DIM a[BOUNDS(a,0)+1] // add one to current size
a[0] = 5Bye,

From now on:

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

DIM a[5]
a[4] = 12
REDIM a[8]
PRINT a[4], 0, 0 // prints 12
