_ArraySearch Error?

[Shane0000]

Local $aArray_1[3] = [0,'x',2]

$a1 = Execute('$aArray_' & 1 )
If @error Then Msgbox(0,@error,'Execute not working')
_ArrayDisplay($a1)
$i1 = _ArraySearch($a1,'y')
If @error Then Msgbox(0,@error,'not working - 0')
ConsoleWrite('$i1: ' & $i1 & @CRLF)
$i1 = _ArraySearch($a1,'x')
If @error Then Msgbox(0,@error,'not working - 1')
ConsoleWrite('$i1: ' & $i1 & @CRLF)

$i1 = _ArraySearch($aArray_1,'y')
If @error Then Msgbox(0,@error,'not working - 2')
ConsoleWrite('$i1: ' & $i1 & @CRLF)
$i1 = _ArraySearch($aArray_1,'x')
If @error Then Msgbox(0,@error,'not working - 3')
ConsoleWrite('$i1: ' & $i1 & @CRLF)

Im not sure what is going on in the above example. _ArraySearch should return a -1 if the item searched for is not found, however :

_ArraySearch returns a 0 when searching for 'y' in the above array. [0,'x',2]

_ArraySearch returns a 0 when searching for 'x' even tho 'x' resides in row 1

Also referencing the $aArray_1 variable returns the same 0 from _ArraySearch both times.

No @error codes are set off either.

What am I missing here ? Thanks

It looks like this has something to do with the mixed type of elements in your array.

It works if you set the $iCompare flag in the call to _ArraySearch to a value of 2.

Ahh thanks I reread the help file and see that the default turns a string to = 0.

Thanks
