Has anyone tried using arrays yet? I can't get them to work with a global statement.

code:

---

Global $sserver[3]

---

It does work with a Dim statement, but I have to make sure to Dim the array at my outermost context if I want to use the array globally.

Another problem I have noticed in the declarations is: The manual states:

code:

---

Dim $Counters[14]
Dim $Sums[20]

---

"The first declaration creates an array with 15 elements, with index numbers running from 0 to 14. The second creates an array with 21 elements, with index numbers running from 0 to 20."

When I try the following code:

code:

---

Dim $Counters[14]
$index=0
while $index<15
   $Counters[$index]=$index
   ? "Counters[$index]="+$Counters[$index]
   $index=$index+1
loop

---

I receive an array reference out of bounds error message when the value of index goes to 14 and the script tries to execute the assignment statement. It seems to me that the code:

code:

---

Dim $Counters[14]

---

Finally on arrays, is there a function to return the maximum index of an array?

Another thing I wanted to pass on about arrays is there functioning in single step mode. That is, they function OK in the script, but you cannot query the value while in single step mode. I always get <unknown> as the value. Anyone else run into this?

Maximum entry: KiX 2001 Beta has a function called UBOUND that returns the Upper BOUNDry of the array:

ie if your array is:

$array[0]=345
$array[1]=765
$array[2]=234
$array[3]=123
$array[4]=778

then

UBOUND($array)

will return 4. There are 5 entries, but number 4 is the top one. All arrays start at 0

Because they all start at Zero, DIMensioning an array with 10 elements will give you $array[0] to $array[9]. There is a misprint in the User Manual.

Global problems? Can you please post the line of code before and after this command. I have been using GLOBAL $array[10] a lot and it has always worked...

in fact, if you DIM $array[10] then try to access $array inside a UDF (User Defined Function, KiX2001 new feature) it will not work. If you GLOBAL it instead, it will.

Sometimes the error is not the line that is displayed, but the one before it. IDK why and I haven't tested this enough to properly demonstrate it (I will later though).

Hope that helped, I haven't used the DEBUG feature enough to know what it does with arrays. TBH I have never used the debug feature, sorry.

I was using the latest version that was available in Aug 99. I don't remember what that was. For some reason, I never got notification that anyone responded to my post until today (15 May 2001))! What gives? Am I in a time warp?

A way of checking your kixtart version can be done by kix32 /?.
For a complete check of kixtart files (kix32.exe, kx16.dll, kx32.dll, kx95.dll + kxrpc.dll) you
can use our script version.kix, which is available on our site.
