Resize an Array

---

2010B and newer

Starting in WinBatch 2010B use the function ArrayRedim.

ArrayRedim ( array, sub1, [sub2, [sub3, [sub4, [sub5]]] )

Changes array dimensions in-place while preserving existing content when possible.

"array" array to re-dimension
"sub1" to "sub5" specifies the new "array" dimensions or -1 to keep existing dimensions.

The default for "sub2" through "sub5" is 0 which deletes the existing dimension.
Once an array dimension is set to 0, all subsequent array dimensions must be
set to 0 or omitted.  -1 can also be used  for subsequent dimensions if current
corresponding dimension is already 0.

Returns @True on successful completion.

2010A and older

There have been occasional questions about how to resize an existing WIL array.

In general, WIL arrays are fixed in size at the point of the original ArrDimension function, and there is no provision for resizing the array afterwards.

Advice on this situation included over-allocating the original array to be able to handle any future adds.

Or allocating a new array of the desired size and a time-intensive copying of the data, array element by array element.

This situation has not changed, but simple, two line methods have been recognized that can easily and fairly quickly enlarge one and two dimensiopnal arrays.

1. Add 1000 entries to the one dimensional array "MyArray"

   ArrayFilePut("tempfile.tmp",MyArray,@TRUE)
   MyArray=ArrayFileGet("tempfile.tnp","?",1000)
   

2. Add 1000 rows and 40 columns to a two dimensional array "OtherArray"

   ArrayFilePutCSV("tempfile.tmp",OtherArray,@TAB,@TRUE,0)
   OtherArray=ArrayFileGetCSV("tempfile.tmp",1,@TAB,1000,40)
