Array Operations

The following functions can be used to manipulate and manage arrays:

#DEBUG ERROR	Control generation of error checking code
#DIM	Specify if variables must be declared before use
ARRAY ASSIGN	Assign a number of values to successive elements of an array
ARRAY DELETE	Delete a single item from a given array
ARRAY INSERT	Insert a single item into a given array
ARRAY SCAN	Scan all or part of an array for a given value
ARRAY SORT	Sort all or part of a given array
ARRAYATTR	Return descriptive attributes of a given array
BIT CALC	Set or reset a bit in an implied bit-array
BIT	Return the value of a particular bit in an implied bit-array
BIT	Manipulate individual bits of an implied bit-array
DATA	Declare an array of constants to be read by READ$
DATACOUNT	Return the total count of the number of local data items
DIM	Declare and dimension arrays, scalar variables, and pointers
ERASE	Deallocate array memory
FILESCAN	Rapidly scan an open file, before loading into an array with GET
GET	Read a complete array from a binary file
IPowerArray.ARRAYBASE	Returns the address of the first element of the array.
IPowerArray.ARRAYDESC	Returns the address of the SAFEARRAY descriptor.
IPowerArray.ARRAYINFO <Get>	Retrieves the info string, if one is present.
IPowerArray.ARRAYINFO <Set>	Assigns the info string.
IPowerArray.CLONE	An exact duplicate of the SafeArray is created, and stored in the specified PowerArray object.
IPowerArray.COPYTOVARIANT	An exact copy is made of the specified SafeArray and stored in this PowerArray object.
IPowerArray.COPYFROMVARIANT	An exact copy is made of the SafeArray in this object and stored in the specified Variant.
IPowerArray.DIM	Dimensions (creates) a new array.
IPowerArray.ELEMENTPTR	Retrieves the address of the specified data element.
IPowerArray.ELEMENTSIZE	Retrieves the storage size (in bytes) of each data element of the array.
IPowerArray.ERASE	Destroys the contained array and empties the object.
IPowerArray.LBOUND	Retrieves the lower bound number for the dimension specified.
IPowerArray.LOCK	Increments the lock count of the SAFEARRAY.
IPowerArray.MOVEFROMVARIANT	Transfers ownership of the specified SafeArray to the PowerArray object.
IPowerArray.MOVETOVARIANT	Transfers ownership of the SafeArray contained in this PowerArray object to a variant parameter.
IPowerArray.REDIM	Allows the SafeArray to be erased and re-dimensioned to a new size.
IPowerArray.REDIMPRESERVE	Allows the least significant (rightmost) bound to be changed to a new size. The remaining data items in the array are preserved.
IPowerArray.RESET	All elements in the SafeArray are set back to their initial, default value.
IPowerArray.SUBSCRIPTS	Retrieves the number of dimensions (subscripts) for this array.
IPowerArray.UBOUND	Retrieves the upper bound number for the dimension specified
IPowerArray.UNLOCK	Decrements the lock count of the SAFEARRAY.
IPowerArray.VALUEGET	Retrieves the value of the specified array element.
IPowerArray.VALUESET	Assigns the specified value to the specified array element.
IPowerArray.VALUETYPE	Retrieves the %VT code which describes the data contained in this array.
JOIN$	Return a string consisting of all of the strings in a string array
LBOUND	Return the lowest subscript of an array's specific dimension
LET	Assign a Variant to an array or an array to a Variant
LINE INPUT#	Read line(s) from a sequential file into a string variable or array
MAT	Matrix calculations on numeric arrays
PARSE	Parse a string and extract all delimited fields into an array
PRINT#	Write a complete array to a sequential file
PUT	Write a complete array to a binary file
READ$	Retrieve string data from a local DATA list
REDIM	Declare dynamic arrays, allocate, reallocate, deallocate memory
RESET	Set an array subscript or an entire array to zero or null/empty
UBOUND	Return the highest subscript of an array's specific dimension
