2D Array Error

[MirnesC2]

My goal is to have an array that contains other arrays... a 2D array.

Array $data[4][3]

    0 - Array
        0 - Id
        1 - Name
        2 - Price

    1 - Array
        0 - Id
        1 - Name
        2 - Price

    2 - Array
        0 - Id
        1 - Name
        2 - Price

    3 - Array
        0 - Id
        1 - Name
        2 - Price

I want to structure my array like this so I can pull data from it easily like this... If I want to know the price of the 2nd item in the array I would call for it using $data[1][2].

This is how I tried to do this but it isn't working. Each different attempt gives a different error message. I don't see what I am doing wrong, maybe someone with more experiance than me can pick up on it? Thanks and Please!

#include <Array.au3>

Local $data[10]
For $i = 0 To 10-1 Step +1
   $data[$i] = ["1987", "Toothbursh", "$4.00"]
Next

_ArrayDisplay($arr)

Error Produced (from console window in SciTe)

>"C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\..\autoit3.exe" /ErrorStdOut "C:\Users\USER\Desktop\asdas.au3"
C:\Users\Mirnes\Desktop\asdas.au3 (7) : ==> Error in expression.:
$data[$i] = ["1987", "Toothbursh", "$4.00"]
$data[$i] = ^ ERROR
>Exit code: 1    Time: 0.230

I then figured that my error was not defining the 2nd dimension in the array so I changed $data[10] to $data[10][3] but it just produced a new error message.
 

#include <Array.au3>

Local $data[10][3]
For $i = 0 To 10-1 Step +1
   $data[$i] = ["1987", "Toothbursh", "$4.00"]
Next

Does $pId have the same number of items as $rHeader? Also remove that Step -1 please.

All the arrays have the same number of items. What Step -1? Step +1? How will the For-loop increase?

So you want to fill a one dimensional Array with values in 2 Dimensions ?

So you want to fill a one dimensional Array with values in 2 Dimensions ?

I guess your trying to tell me I'm doing it wrong?

Array $array

00

00 - ID

01 - Name

02 - Price

03 - Location

04 - Date

01

00 - ID

01 - Name

02 - Price

03 - Location

04 - Date

02

00 - ID

01 - Name

02 - Price

03 - Location

04 - Date

 

I want have an array like $array[10][5]. So if I want to know the price of the 5th item in the array I would call for it using $array[4][2].

That is my goal but it's not really working out the way I wanted it to

Leave it without the Step value as the default is +1.

What about this?

$array[$i] = [$pId[$i] & @CRLF & $pName[$i] & @CRLF & $pPrice[$i] & @CRLF & $pLocat[$i] & @CRLF & $pDate[$i]]

Also where is the 2D array please?

If it's default is +1 and me adding +1 doesn't effect it at all then why change it? It helps me and doesn't harm anything. Everyone has their own style. You seem to be working backwards from the question and the sarcasm really isn't contributing to anything either.

I understand that I need to declare a second dimension

Local $array[$num][5]

But doing so doesn't solve my problem it just causes another sub-script error.

Adding & only combines the data into a single string. And the @CRLF abstruct my data.

Each loop in the for-loop should be adding an array to the array $array... but it isn't working. Hence a 2D array...

Pardon? I wasn't being sarcastic. As you will note I said Step -1, because on my screen at a quick glance it looked like -1 and not +1, the orange colour can be a little difficult to see at times. But seems as though you don't need help anymore, as you're on some kind of track. Good luck.

You're funny MirnesC2,....  You post a half ass questions about some error and don't even bother specifying what you really want nor post a script that might help to understand and you expect a good answer without any questions?

As you are around long enough I would recommend re-reading that linked Wiki page because you are not using the correct method for defining and populating the array,

The way you say please and the questions you seem to be asking can be viewed as slightly sarcastic and loathsome. But I can see now that English might not be your first language so it wasn't intential.

As you will note I said Step -1, because on my screen at a quick glance it looked like -1 and not +1, the orange colour can be a little difficult to see at times.

I can completely understand you for that and would not blame you for it. But you tried to play it off by making it look like I was doing something wrong instead of saying that.

I'm sorry if I offended somehow. Having questions for me is understandable... and I answered them. I thought that the question was understandable enough. I will try to edit it right now, make it more understandable.

Wow, disrespecting a long-standing member of this forum, known for his great support, in the same topic you're asking for help in - not the most intelligent thing I've ever seen.

[guinness]

Well it is.

[kylomas]

Well it is.

 

Comically ironic, albeit hardly "intentional"...

MirnesC2 - Your answers are in the previous posts, please don't read into the text things that are not there.

Yo want to populate a 2D array using the syntax "array[row][column]".  Do not exceed the boundaries of any subscripts (your last error).  There are thousands of examples of 2D arrays on the forum.  Put something together, identify exactly what the problems are and you will get all the help you need.

couple examples

#include <Array.au3>
$iTotalAmountOfItems = 10
Global Enum $iArray_ID, $iArray_Name, $iArray_Price, $iArray_UBound
Global $aArray[$iTotalAmountOfItems][$iArray_UBound]

For $i = 0 To UBound($aArray)-1
    For $j = 0 To UBound($aArray,2)-1
        Switch $j
            Case $iArray_ID
                $aArray[$i][$j] = "ID:" & $i & "," & $j
            Case $iArray_Name
                $aArray[$i][$j] = "Name:" & $i & "," & $j
            Case $iArray_Price
                $aArray[$i][$j] = "Price:" & $i & "," & $j
        EndSwitch
    Next
Next
_ArrayDisplay($aArray)

Global $aArray2[$iTotalAmountOfItems][$iArray_UBound]
For $i = 0 To UBound($aArray)-1
    $aArray2[$i][$iArray_ID] = "ID:" & $i
    $aArray2[$i][$iArray_Name] = "Name:" & $i
    $aArray2[$i][$iArray_Price] = "Price:" & $i
Next
_ArrayDisplay($aArray2)

Yeah, maybe you're right I kinda feel as if I have been doing that lately.. I don't know why. I don't find offense in my replies, yet someone else always does. It might just be because of where I am from. You get something slightly sarcastic, so you dish out something slightly sarcastic. And in the end no one takes offense. Here it seems to get people's panties in a bunch.

I managed to figure out how to do it in multiple lines.

#include <Array.au3>

Local $data[10][3]
For $i = 0 To 10-1 Step +1
   $data[$i][0] = 1987
   $data[$i][1] = "Tooth Brush"
   $data[$i][2] = "$3.00"
Next

_ArrayDisplay($data)

I was hoping to accomplish it with a single line like...

#include <Array.au3>

Local $data[10][3]
For $i = 0 To 10-1 Step +1
   $data[$i] = [1398, "Toothbrush", "$3.00"]
Next

_ArrayDisplay($data)

But can't seem to figure out the error im making?

It's not that big of deal though I guess. And thank you jdelaney for the example!

You can do two liners, but that's creating array of arrays, and not a 2d array.

Local $data[10]
For $i = 0 To UBound($data)-1
    Local $array[3] = [1398, "Toothbrush", "$3.00"]
   $data[$i] = $array
Next

Oohhh okay I see now. Thank you! That solves it

P.S. Diggin the new "Mark solved" feature.

[jdelaney]

here is a one liner from the helpfile(also an array of arrays):

Local $data[10]
For $i = 0 To UBound($data)-1
   $data[$i] = StringSplit("Abe|Jack|Bobby|Marty", "|",2)
Next

Edited May 20, 2013 by jdelaney

...or just create a common 2D array...

#include<array.au3>

$data = '1234,bottle,5.00|2345,widget,19.00|3456,17.50,boat|4567,something else,priceless'

local $aTmp1 = stringsplit($data,'|',2)


Local $adata[ubound($aTmp1)][3]
For $i = 0 To UBound($adata)-1
    $aTmp2 = stringsplit($aTmp1[$i],',',2)
    for $j = 0 to ubound($adata,2) - 1
        $adata[$i][$j] = $aTmp2[$j]
    next
Next

_arraydisplay($adata)

@jdelaney - I could not figure out how to address the array elements in your array of arrays directly.  The closest I can come is using a temp array like this

Local $data1[10]
For $i = 0 To UBound($data1)-1
    Local $array1[3] = [1398, "Toothbrush", "$3.00"]
   $data1[$i] = $array1
Next

; iterate $data1
local $aTmp3
for $1 = 0 to ubound($data1) - 1
    $aTmp3 = $data1[$1]
    for $2 = 0 to ubound($atmp3) - 1
        ConsoleWrite($atmp3[$2] & @LF)
    next
next

Do you know how to address them directly?
