Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I need to initialise a lookup table of 120-odd integer elements. I can't put the initialisation values one line nor can I split it over several lines. The only method that I can think of is to write some code to load multiple DATA statements into the array during initialisation. I'm new to MM Basic and was wondering if there is a more elegant method of doing it?

How many characters in each integer?

You ma be able to set a couple of string variables & read them in bit by bit in a loop using Val & Mid$.

Something a bit like this.
(Not sure the synatax is correct, but should give you the picture.

  Quote   Data1$="0001000200030004000500060007000800090010"

For n=1 to 10

p=n*4-3

DArray%(n-1)=Val(Mid$(Data1$,p,4)

Next n


Edit, DATA can probably also be imported with a similar loop.

Phil

Edit again..

Others might comment on if what's below would work.

  Quote   Data 0001,0002,0003,0004,0005,0006,0007,0008,0009,0010

For n=1 to 10

Read DArray%(n-1)

Next n

Hi Roy,
maybe a job for Nathan's newest invention (simpleArrayFuncGen)?
This could save time and space (memory).

Kind regards

I was afraid that the simplearraygeneration might be something relevant to my problem! Life is too short for that sort of complexity given I only have 120 numbers to deal with. I will use your second example Phil, with several data statements. Thanks both for you help.
Roy
