I have successfully figured out how to save an array (SAVE ARRAY LOL) thanks to dboy...

um..

The array DOES have data in it, and I have debugged and verified that it is holding data.

But its not saving it to the file.. the file gets created, and stays at 0kb

I have attached my code. What am I doing wrong?

repeat : DarkBASICPro = LearnStatus() : until DarkBASICPro = FullyUnderStood

does Grid have to include the upperbound index value? because you are saying "Grid" and not "Grid()" or "grid(index upperbound val)"

I am not sure I have never used the command, but it would make programmatic sense to provide something else other than "grid"

Grid is the name of the array..
It holds 811 integers.

Would I say SAVE ARRAY grid(811)?

or would that be saving only the 811th index?

whatever the highest index value that has data. If you say it holds 811 pieces of data, indexes are zero-based meaning 0 to 810 = 811

dbp help:
SAVE ARRAY
This command will save the contents of the array to the specified file. It is highly recommended that the
array used to save the data should be identical to the one used when reloading. When specifying the array
name, the array index numbers are ignored, but you must still provide them to ensure the array is
recognized.

SYNTAX
SAVE ARRAY Filename, Array Name(0)

yes, non specified with () makes perfect sense.
