Combining arrays

[mark007]

If I have 4 1 dimensional arrays each declared like:

 

dim Array1(120) as Single

 

Is there a faster way of combining them into 1 2-dimensional array declared:

 

Dim ArrayAll(120,3) as Single

 

other than looping through all 120*4 values?

I don't believe so. The mass copy functions work only if they target is the size # dimensions as the source.

I think you mean Array1(3, 120). A multidemensional array is actaully a matrix, not an array of arrays. If you still want to be able to consider your original arrays as objects after they are combined, what you actually want is a jagged array, i.e. ArrayAll(3)(120). In that case, ArrayAll is a 1-dimensional array with four elements, each of which is an Array. In the first case, ArrayAll is a 2-dimensional array with 484 elements, each of which is a Single. If you decide that the jagged array fits the criteria of what you are doing then you can simply assign each of the existing arrays to the four elements of the jagged array. If the 2-dimensional array is the better fit, you're stuck with copying one element at a time.

Hmm, an array of array's like that might just work....
