Hi David,
First, remember that the "Array" statement creates a single dimensional
array. Think of it as if the variable is a pointer to that single
dimensional array. that's all it can do. So let's say you want to create an
array containing names and addresses. You need to declare a two-dimensional
array. For example:
Dim addresses(3, 4)
Think of the first dimension as how many rows you have to work with and the
second dimension as how many columns in each row. The following is an
example I just wrote up in the immediate mode window to demonstrate how this
works.
Dim addresses(3, 4)
addresses(1, 1) = "John"
addresses(1, 2) = "John's street"
addresses(1, 3) = "John's town"
addresses(1, 4) = "John's postal code"
Dim johnsInfo : johnsInfo = 1
Print addresses(johnsInfo, 1)
John
Print addresses(johnsInfo, 2)
John's street
Print addresses(johnsInfo, 3)
John's town
Print addresses(johnsInfo, 4)
John's postal code
Hope this helps.
Tom

Thanks to all, who has helped me out with my array problems, recently. I am
starting to get at it, by now. But I have some more questions. This time, as
to making an array multi/dimentional.
First of all, I got this far (simplified sample):
dim X
X = Array( "Mister green",_
"Mrs johnson",_
"Baby blue" )
X(2) = "Name has been changed to mrs WhoEver"
So far, the one dimentional array works, OK.
Now, how can I make it so that each of the three names, in the first
dimention, holds four 'sublines', in a second dimention? And how do I
'refer' to for instance 3rd point in dimention 1, 2nd point in dimention 2 -
for reading/writing? Could anyone, please, show me how to do this?
Thanks alot"
