[RESOLVED] simple copying of information from 1D array of arrays to 2D array

[monkeyinquisition]

Hi everyone, is there any reason that in this case intermediateArray will contain nothing when I've checked that tempArray does contain information. Both are declared as strings, and both are the same length.. The code is inside two loops to go through counter and counter2.

intermediateArray(counter, counter2) = tempArray(counter)(counter2)

[josep]

then only reason to contain nothing is that temparray(counter)(counter2) is nothing

[monkeyinquisition]

that's exactly what I thought. I've just checked it again and still every entry reads as nothing. I deliberately put an error right after it so that when debugging I could look back and find out the contents of each array and compare them. the full loop code is:

Dim intermediateArray(0 To 5, 0 To 5) As String
            ReDim intermediateArray((y - 1), x)
 
            For counter = 0 To (y - 1)
                For counter2 = 0 To (x)
                    intermediateArray(counter, counter2) = tempArray(counter)(counter2)
                Next
            Next

Testing the values right after this loop gives the values of tempArray as they are supposed to be (not nothing) and the values of intermediateArray as nothing for each entry.

tempArray contains { {1,2,3,4,""}, {1,2,3,4,""} etc. }
intermediatearray contains {nothing,nothing, etc.}

Can you suggest anyway that I can attempt to debug it. What kind of thing I should be looking for in the code etc.

Thanks
Andy

Problem solved, I'm being an idiot!

To many time looking for witches and elfs in your program

was it..

intermediateArray(counter, counter2) = tempArray(counter, counter2)

not quite, pasvorto - it was the debugging info that I was misreading...
