BrandonUsing REDIM
Is it possible to use REDIM in a sub in FreeBASIC? For my sidebar I want the number of groups to be dynamic, it'd be better if I didn't have to force a set limit or somehow redim at launch. Does anyone have experience with redim?

I know you can REDIM from the program. You may have to make the array SHARED in order to REDIM from a SUB or FUNCTION. Write a little program in FB to see if it works.

I tried that, it says something about not being able to redim in a sub if I use "REDIM SHARED" or something about the variable already existing if I don't use SHARED with REDIM.

You could implement my list thing... it's pretty easy to change the size of a string from within a sub :).

Or try a binary tree or linked list.

Oh, this is FreeBASIC? Yeah, might as well use a linked list. There are a few implementations out there, search the FB forum.

Yeah, I'm trying to start work on Fun500 6.

I've had this issue before. Post your code, mine looks like this: global code [code]dim shared as file db()[/code] function code [code] redim preserve as file db(newsize) [/code]

I'll look at it again tomorrow, today I spent a lot of time looking in the CPU section here: http://redhill.net.au/ig.html It's quite informational.
