returning an array

[vasah20]

hi -
do you guys know how to return an array from a function?
I've tried doing functionName = myArray, but that doesn't seem to return the array to the calling function (IsArray fails in the calling function, but succeeds in the called function.)

ex:
function myfunction()
dim myArray(25)
...
myfunction = myArray
end function

if isarray(myfunction) then '<-- this always fails

any ideas?

I executed this as a VBS with a double click and I get an &quot;Array&quot; message.

If Isarray(myfunction) then
    msgbox "array"
else
    msgbox "No Array"
End if
function myfunction()
 dim myArray(25)
 myfunction = myArray
end function

Just ran same code on PWS - win98, and also get &quot;array&quot;

Hm -
ok... I'll take a closer look at my code. Maybe there's a logic error that I overlooked... thanks

What about returning an array and assigning it to another array?

Function myFunc(param1, param2)

dim array(11)
...
myFunc = array
End Function

....
dim otherArray(11)

otherArray = myFunc(param1, param2) ' I get a type mismatch error on this line

Thanks,
Ray

fengshui1998 answered this, you dim the second one like so:

dim otherArray
