[RESOLVED] Adding to an array

[Arc]

Hey guys.

I have an array that is retrieving a list of files names via a method. This works fine when I call the method the first time, yet when I call it the second time the first files seem to be removed. I thought it would just append the new file names to the end of the array.

Here is the code

string[] theFiles = new string[] { };
theFiles = GetFilesAfterDate(path1, scan);
theFiles = GetFilesAfterDate(path2, scan); 

shouldnt it just append the file names on to the end of the array when it is called the second time?

Thanks!
