Passing a reference to an array.

[Torahteen]

How do I make a sub or function that adds something to an array specified by the parameters? Like "SUB addArray(array() As Integer, newValue As Integer)". Would that work? Tell me if I don't make sense.

That should work; perhaps you could try it and find out?

Your only practical option is to REDIM the array, and copy the memory.

I wrote some routines that do a real hack-job with reallocate, here:

but I'm afraid of reallocating bytes at a time, link-listed dynamic memory is a fickle mistriss who might crash at any time.

Does FB have QBX's REDIM PRESERVE?

[Neo]

Yes.

Code:

Option Dynamic

Private Sub addArray (array() As Integer, newValue As Integer)
   Redim Preserve array(UBound(array) + 1) As Integer
   array(UBound(array)) = newValue
End Sub

Yassir.

Huh... I just keep learning new crap. I was wondering why something like that wasn't available...
