is there a clever way to extract one dimension of a multidim array ?

[Edano]

what i mean is:

Dim $array1[24][1000]

define a new array $array2[1000] out of $array1 2nd (or other) dimension.

do i need to loop it out or is there a cleverer way ?

thx E.

You have to create a new array and fill it by looping through $array1.

i hoped there would be something smarter.   thx very much

You code it once and the problem is solved. Speed isn't an issue with about 1000 records to copy.

You can try this (partially tested only):

thx.

Sorry for my previous dry post, I had to move quickly.

The attached UDF offers functions to extract sub-arrays from arrays up to 4D. It also has transposition functions.

Edano,

$array2 = $array1
ReDim $array2[1][1000]

 Here is a working example.

#include <Array.au3>

; Reminder:-
;      Local array  [No. of rows (1st dimension)]   [No. of column (2nd dimension)]
;            UBound($array1) gets size of 1st Dim    UBound($array1, 2) gets size of 2nd Dimension

Local $array1[4][6] = [[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5],[6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11],[12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17],[18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23]]
_ArrayDisplay($array1)

; ------------ Get Row -------------
Local $iGetRowNumber = 2 ; Base 0
If $iGetRowNumber > UBound($array1) - 1 Then $iGetRowNumber = UBound($array1) - 1
Local $arrayR[UBound($array1, 2)]
For $i = 0 To UBound($array1, 2) - 1
    $arrayR[$i] = $array1[$iGetRowNumber][$i] ; Get row
Next
_ArrayDisplay($arrayR, "Row #" & $iGetRowNumber)


; ------------ Get Column -------------
Local $iGetColNumber = 3 ; Base 0
If $iGetColNumber > UBound($array1, 2) - 1 Then $iGetColNumber = UBound($array1, 2) - 1
Local $arrayC[UBound($array1)]
For $i = 0 To UBound($array1) - 1
    $arrayC[$i] = $array1[$i][$iGetColNumber] ; Get column
Next
_ArrayDisplay($arrayC, "Column #" & $iGetColNumber)

Edano,

$array2 = $array1
ReDim $array2[1][1000]

.

that was the solution i finally used. simply clone the array and forget the first dimension. ockham's razor.
