Use a for-next loop:



As you can see, it's quite easy.

Ok while I am struggling with my current programing black out, I have had a look at your problem, which I think is very similar to what I need to do, I just can't quite sort my issue out yet. Here is a bit of code I wrote which sorts through an array and finds the highest number in it. I think it is what you are after.

dim test(10,1)

for n=1 to 10
test(n,1)=rnd(30)
next n

for n= 1 to 10
print test(n,1)
next n

for n=1 to 10
oldvalue=test(n,1)
if oldvalue>oldvalue2
oldvalue2=oldvalue
endif
next n

do
set cursor 200,0
print oldvalue2
sync
loop

Ahh I see someone beat me to it
