Clearing an array

[boriel]

Just the clarify the syntax for copying an array, if mine has dimensions of 27,7, I'd type:

Code:

array1(27,7) = array2(27,7)

Because doing this doesn't appear to copy the data.

Thanks,

Ah. I figured it out. In the example above, it is literally as Boriel said.

Code:

array1 = array2

What's great with the quick code/compile cycle is that you can use trial and error to figure things out.

This works. But array2 is always taking your memory. Consider using this within a function so once the function ends, array2 is freed from memory.

Code:

SUB initArray()
    DIM array2(...)
    array1 = array2
END SUB ' Here array2 is freed

Another solution is to use memset (if the array is NOT an array of strings), but these is a bit more complex.

Anyway, this will be available in the near future once I manage to implement DIM for dynamic arrays (as in SinclairBASIC), and REDIM.
