bug report _DebugArrayDisplay

[aiter]

I noticed that _DebugArrayDisplay has a bug when copying data and headings

I  copied the

 

The column alignment is out - copying just the data seems to have no issues

I figured out what the bug is:-

The row heading (first column) does not a tab delimiter so it offsets everything off by 1

The data does have the tab delimter

If I make argument 4 (I had the value as 64 to omit row heading) zero, the bug is gone.

aiter,

Your explanation is as clear as mud. Please provide 2 small reproducer scripts, one of which shows the problem and the other which shows the solution you found.

Apologies Melba for my confused explanation.  Here is my test script

#include <Debug.au3>
dim $aArr[5][100]
for $x = 0 to 4
    for $y = 0 to 99
        $aArr[$x][$y] = $x & $y
    Next
next
$head = ""
for $x = 1 to 99
    $head &= "h" & $x & chr(9)
next
$head &= "h100"
 Opt("GUIDataSeparatorChar", chr(9))
_DebugArrayDisplay($aArr,"test",Default,64,Default,$head,Default)  ; no row heading displayed  - Mark 1
_DebugArrayDisplay($aArr,"test",Default,0,Default,$head,Default)   ; row heading displayed     - Mark 2

When the array display pops up I click 'Copy data & hdr row" and paste it into excel.

From the paste from the first array popup, row is displayed on the excel spread sheet - it should not be.  It displays like this

Row|h1
Row 0
Row 1
Row 2
Row 3
Row 4

It should not be showing 'Row' in the first column, but match what is shown in the popup.

PS - Big thumbs up for array allowing sorting by clicking on the column header

aiter,

I now see what you mean and I am investigating.

Edit:

Got it - the "|" in the header line is hardcoded when we should be using the $sCurr_Separator variable. It will be fixed in the next release.

And you get the header/row data because you select the "Copy Data & Hdr/Row" button - so the header and row information is added automatically regardless of whether it is displayed in the dialog. If all you want is the data, then use the "Copy Data Only" button. If you want the data and the header with no row numbers than you will have to write a custom function and use the "Run User Func" button - we cannot cater for every possibility!

Edit 2: All done. If you want to fix it in your current installation then amend line #517 in ArrayDisplayInternals.au3 to read:

$sItem = "Row" & $sCurr_Separator & $sItem
