How to convert three arrays into just ONE array? - Arena - 04-10-2012

Hi,
I have a question regarding array of arrays.

I have three arrays that were created by spliting a string:

sText0 = "0;3;6;9"
sText1 = "1;4;7;10"
sText2 = "2;5;8;11"

arr0=Split(sText0,";")
arr1=Split(sText1,";")
arr2=Split(sText2,";")

What can I do to make these three arrays to become ONE array?

I am trying this but with no success:

Dim arrTest

arrTest(0)=arr0
arrTest(1)=arr1
arrTest(2)=arr2

Can you help me, please?

Thanks,
Arena

Do u want to create 1 dimensional array by joining them? or 2 two dimensional array?

If it is one dimensional...

Code:
Function combineArray(arr1,arr2)

            combineArray = Split(Join(arr1,"%^&") & "%^&" & Join(arr2,"%^&"),"%^&")

End Function

as you had split the string..i am joining back all the array elements as a single string and do a final split to create an array...

But it might not be a good approach...because if the array element itself has the delimiter as content (%^&)..then the result might not be as expected..
so create a function and create an array in it with a size by adding 2 array sizes. then use for loop to iterate thro passed array elements and to store it in the new array.

Hi vIns,

I want the new array to be a 2D array.
Will the above code work?
Also, what does (%^&) mean?

Thanks,

Arena
