    Filling Multi Dimensional Arrays (Resolved)

    Hi,

    How do you fill all the elements of a multidimensional array?

    e.g.

    Dim strArray(6,3,2) as Array


    how do I put values into each dimension, Please? Putting values into the final dimension is easy e.g.

    strArray(1,2,2)="This goes in"

    is stored in the second element of the third dimension, first rank.

    Nothing in MSDN or my books gives any help on this.

    You have to specify 3 subscripts no matter where you want to put the data. As such you can't put data into a dimension, that makes no sense. A dimension is not a storage medium,it's a parameter of the array.

    You have 3 dimensions in your array which can be literally thought of as the length, width and height dimensions. The subscripts in the brackets are literally the co-ordinates of the position in memory that you want to store the new value in.
