define 2d array in a for loop

[gottygolly]

I'm working on a script and I'm trying to define a 2d array inside a for loop.

Is it possible to do it?

Eg: 

For $i = 0 to 50
    local $array[50][2] = [[$i,$var[$i]]
Next

If this is possible how would I get the information from the array?

Something like: $array[5][1]?

I'm really confused on this and any help will be awesome.

(If you can not do this how would I go about doing it a different way?)

Thanks in advance!

#include<array.au3>

local $array[50][2]
For $i = 0 to ubound($array) - 1
     $array[$i][0] = $i
     $array[$i][1] = "var" & $i
Next

_ArrayDisplay($array)

It is best to define or declare the array outside of any loop. Then, assign values to the elements of the array inside of a loop.

#include <Array.au3>

Local $array[50][2]
Local $var[50] = [49, 48, 47, 46, 45, 44, 43, 42, 41, 40]

For $i = 0 To 49
    $array[$i][0] = $i
    $array[$i][1] = $var[$i]
Next

MsgBox(0, "Result", "$array[5][0] = " & $array[5][0] & @CRLF & @CRLF & "$array[5][1] = " & $array[5][1])
_ArrayDisplay($array)

Thanks for the replies, I put it in a loop because the [50] can change since I am grabbing the information from a website that updates regularly.

Malkey, your example works but boththose is the one i used since it is more condensed and works aswell.

Thanks for all your help guys!

 Under no circumstances should you use my solution over Malkey's, at all, ever. In this case my script is only more condensed because I am lazy and was not about to make $var for you, he was kind enough to do so. They are, for all intents, the same (this time, but thats just luck).

<zap> ....  since I am grabbing the information from a website that updates regularly. ....<\zap>

p.s.

... don't know if this can be useful for your case, anyway, just for the record, if data that you want to grab from the web site are in an html Table, then you could also consider the _IETableWriteToArray() function, that simply grabs all the data from the table for you and returns them in an ready made array.
