Variables and memory space problem

[n2ckb]

Hi Guys,

I have written a program that creates a huge number of variables, which I currently save in a string array. separating numbers like so 01*10*06*03
(Each number represents a different individual)

Strings take up a lot more memory than number-based ones, so my question is if i have 10 two digit numbers in a string that I want to separate when required, is there any way to store the info in a less memory dependent variable, and then extract the info when required?

Thanks in advance

Unless I'm wildly out on what you want I would store the numbers in an integer array. Then when retrieving the number do a Format(arrayName(x), "0#&quot on it to make 01, etc...
You could also dynamically chnage the size of the array depending on how many numbers you have...

Hope that helps...
