OK, I think this has been thrown around before . . .
I want to create an ISTRING array of 42 elements, each capable of holding 48 characters
Please, what is the correct way to code this - I always get confused with this one
Thanks,
Brian
Brian i try with string becose dont work with istring
REM EBASIC example prgram
'IString array
OPENCONSOLE
DEF element:String
'48 characters
element="012345678901234567890123456789012345678912345678"
DEF bigstring[42]:STRING
For n = 0 to 41
bigstring[n]= element
PRINT bigstring[n]
Next n
PRINT "Press Any Key"
DO:UNTIL INKEY$<>""
CLOSECONSOLE
ENDi
Im find that work on this way:
REM EBASIC example prgram
'IString array
OPENCONSOLE
DEF element:String
'48 characters
element="012345678901234567890123456789012345678912345678"
DEF bigstring[42]:ISTRING
For n = 0 to 41
'element=ltrim$(rtrim$(element))
bigstring[n]= element
PRINT bigstring[n],element
Next n
PRINT "Press Any Key"
DO:UNTIL INKEY$<>""
CLOSECONSOLE
END

I believe this explanation by Mike Rainey is exactly what you need: http://www.ionicwind.com/forums/index.php/topic,1650.msg15239.html#msg15239

Many thanks, Larry,
I think that is where I was going wrong - assigning the stringth length first,
and then the number of array
aurelcb: Thanks for your help, also - you need to take a look at Larry's link
Thanks again,
Brian
