Array Sort Annoyances...

[John Strasser]

This time there *appears* to be an actual issue...

Before I formally submit it I figured I'd check is anyone else had the same problem

When using array sort on a string array that went from 0 to 24, Array Sort apparently didn't like it.

Fortunately element "25" was blank - so when it sorted, element 0 became blank (as it should) and everything dropped down 1 element - but I "lost" one of the values

the code was similar to this:

dim somearray(1) as string
'
'some code
'
redim somearray(25)   'should give 0 to 24
for i=0 to 24
 somearray(i) = str$(i) + "a string"
next i

ARRAY SORT somearray()

REDIMming the array from 1 to 25 apears to have solved the problem.

Anyone else come across this? Before I send in a bug report?

John,

redim somearray(25) 'should give 0 to 24

No, it gives 0 to 25.
You can check by printing out UBOUND(somearray()) and LBOUND(somearray()) after you redim the array.

Have you tried:

Array Sort SomeArray(0) for 24 (or 25)

[John Strasser]

You're right Paul.

Right there under DIM...



And Mel - I thought I tried that. But I'll try again tomorrow

Thanks.
