Array Copying Question 2

[Jdoggers]

Hi,
Is there any way to copy an array to another array of the same size as long as they are both defined the same. Oh, I would not like to use loops or using a variant type array for the second one recieving the data. Any way to do this? thanks

Dim array1(3) As String
Dim array2() As String

array1(2) = "Test"
array2 = array1
MsgBox array2(2)


Two strings walk into a bar. The first string says to the bartender: 'Bartender, I'll have a beer. u.5n$x5t?*&4ru!2[sACC~ErJ'. The second string says: 'Pardon my friend, he isn't NULL terminated'.

If your destination array is a dynamic array, then you can simply copy the source array to destination using a simple assingment. Otherwise, you can use the CopyMemory function to copy an array to a fixed array.

Option Explicit
Private Declare Sub CopyMemory Lib "kernel32" Alias "RtlMoveMemory" (Destination As Any, Source As Any, ByVal Length As Long)
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim A(5) As Long, N As Long
Dim B() As Long 'dynamic array
Dim C(5) As Long 'fixed array
'fill the source array
For N = 0 To 5
A(N) = N
Next

'copy A to B
B = A
'copy A to C
CopyMemory C(0), A(0), 24 'size of the array
End Sub[/tt]
