Have you considered using structures instead of arrays? I often use structs when the data is sparse (i.e. when many or most array indices don't have a value assigned).
myArray = structNew(); myArray[someVar] = structNew(); ... if ( structKeyExists(myArray, someVar) and structKeyExists(myArray[someVar], i) ) do something with myArray[someVar][i]... > -----Original Message----- > From: Tyler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, 10 November 2004 12:52 p.m. > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Anyway to detect is an array's element is defined? > > Is there anyway to check if an array's value is defined > without using a try/catch statement? > > I'm creating a calendar array for a good amount of years, and > it's killing my processing time to wrap a cftry around each > and every call after adding just a couple array elements > (which then creates all the other un-defined elements "below" > the current element.) > > IsDefined(), or probably #IsDefined("myArray[" & somevar & > "][" & i & "]")#, isn't working either.
