Forum Index : Microcontroller and PC projects : Pass an Array *name* to a SUB?

Is there any way to pass the name of an array to a SUB? I don't want to pass the array itself but rather the name of the array so I can use a single call that selects between MATH M_PRINT and MATH V_PRINT without worrying whether the table in question is an array or a vector. |

Pass both but use the zeroeth value or a flag to indicate which task you want? I can't se how you could pass a name other than as a string. If you did that the string itself could be the array, but you may need to copy it into a proper local array to manipulate it.

Could you use the Bound function to determine the dimensionality (?) of the passed array? Visit Vegipete's *Mite Library for cool programs. |

Hmmm. That might work. I'll investigate. Thanks! |

pass it as string and then single :Execute "Dim " + yourstring$ + "(" + Str$(your_value) + ")" Two dimensional: Execute yourstring + "(" + Str$(your_value) + "," + Str$(your_value) + ") = " + Str$(your_value) If you want to see what your code is doing replace the execute with print.
