Array tutorials

Question

Hi I have been using Small Basic for a while now and love the ease with which I picked it up with no programing background.

Lots of the commands return info as an array is there any tutorials on how to use these arrays that are returned most of the time I am doing text functions on them to get the info I need and wanted to know if there was a better way and if the values can be fed into other commands.

Thanks

Chris

Answer 1

Sorry, I do not know of any tutorials. Here are some pointers though: - Explore the Array class and see what you can find - Array can hold many values in one variable.. for example: variable[0] = 2 variable[1] = 5 vairable[2] = 3.1415926535 Or even variable[0][1] = 86 Or even this variable["blah"] = "blah" variable["blah"]["blahblah"] = "blah" And with returns: variable = MethodName() TextWindow.WriteLine(variable[0]) ... If you need some more pointers or specific help, just ask here!

Sorry, the formatting came out poorly on that last post. Please just add a new line in back of every line of code so it will look OK. Oh, the woes of using a mobile device with no code block menu, etc :-(

This is a sample code.

path = Program.Directory          ' gets the executing program's directory path
arry = File.GetFiles(path)        ' this command returns array
count = Array.GetItemCount(arry)  ' gets entry count in the array
For n = 1 To count
  TextWindow.WriteLine(arry[n])   ' print nth entry
EndFor
