Hi! I need help with arrays.
Here is the code for 2 dimensional dynamic array that doesn't work:

Anyone, please?

I don't think you can use list operations (insert / remove) on multi-dimensional arrays.
You can re-dimension them though.



I haven't used this in a while, but I remember that it at least did use to work a few years ago.

So it can't be resized, only re-created? I am sure that when recreating 2 dimensional array it keeps values because... it is a bug? Therefore, 3 dimensional clears because it is not. Or otherwise?

So I think I will leave the idea with multidimensional arrays and write a script to read values from file...

Yeah, I think it feels very unsafe too. Also, it will delete strings in UDTs if you re-create a 2D array, so...

Here's another idea for multi-dimensional arrays:

1) make a temporary array
2) copy old array into temporary array
3) delete old array
4) make new array again, but larger
5) copy temporary array back into new array
6) delete temporary array

I know it sucks.

Sometimes you don't always need multi-dimensional arrays, can't you compress it?

This here:


Is the same as this:
