It would be nice if the OP uses code tags

@czardas Congratulations on your 7,800th post The best thing to do when you need to ReDim an array is: TD

Thanks @water Updated it, TD

@mikell I said ~10 not exactly 10

@Bowmore Try it: Local $aArray[524288] MsgBox(0, "Script Paused", "Open Task Manager & Have A Look At Its RAM Usage")TD

An array with 524288 elements (all empty) would take 3.4 MB of RAM

@water You totally whacked me on that one

@water Sure, I would not expect that. But I would be happy to know that it has another use

@water was that for me ?

​Why? Isn't it a good thing? (I am a newbie in the world of programming btw). Just curious

@jchfd Yeah, 2x seems too much

@Melba23 I see... ReDim works fine for me in this case (ReDim take 0.01 ms to expand an array by 1 with 200 elements ). So I will stick to _ArrayAdd because I need to expand an array only ~10 times TD

I found this awesome function called _ArrayAdd which does the same thing as ExpandArray... I don't know about internal workings of it but It does the job (internal workings should be fine b/c its coded by AutoIt pros) TD

@water Will not work for delimiter with multiple characters

@Venix Why wont it compile ? What error do you get in the complication process?

Wow, I thought DOS's apps cannot be executed on windows P.S I remember opening exe files with notepad hoping hack the game & there will be a small note between the binary characters: I done stuff like this when I was 11 (yeah, before 3 years. what an improvement )

@Melba23 Will implement that Melba

@Melba23 Multiply it?

Thanks!

I found out my answer Local $aArray[4] = [0, 1, 2, 3] Func ExpandArray(ByRef $aArray, $iExpandCount) ReDim $aArray[UBound($aArray) + ($iExpandCount - 1)] EndFunc

Sorry for posting this in GUI help section

@Jos I can't understand what is this:

@argumentum Not sure if its dosbox or colored command prompt

Hello , I know about ReDim but I am confused Local $aArray[4] = [0, 1, 2, 3] Func ExpandArray(ByRef $aArray) ; How? EndFuncThanks in Advance, TD
