|  Re: Redimension Arrays (Basic)
Yeah, just want to chime in and reiterate what's been said; this can't be done in BASIC 3.5.
One workaround would be to issue a CLR in your program, this would let you re-dimension your array, but it would wipe out all other variables as well.
Manually "killing" the array (which is outside of BASIC's capabilities) would be something like this:
0 DIMA$(25)
2 DIMA$(20)
(fails with error)
0 DIMA$(25)
1 POKEPEEK(46)*256+PEEK(45),255
2 DIMA$(20)
This runs, but the memory allocated by the first array is "lost"... And to be honest might have other side effects as well. |
