Thanks for the reply Yuri, but ACOPY() isn't really
a solution here. In order to use ACOPY() you have
to have an array to begin with. The situation is
that I have a string with an unknown number of items
that I need to store in an array. I was questioning
the speed an reliability of redimensioning an array
each time I need to add a new element to it.
Kinda like:
SCAN
lcToken = GetToken( InLine)
IF NOT EMPTY( lcToken)
lnTokenCnt = lnTokenCnt + 1
DIMENSION laTokens[ lnTokenCnt]
laTokens[ lnTokenCnt] = lcToken
ENDIF
ENDSCAN
In this (hypothetical) situation, you don't know how
many lines have tokens, but you want to store the ones
you find in an array. This is roughly what I am trying
to accomplish.
