just keep trying to do stuff to an array while constantly incremented the index values, eventually you'll get an array out of bounds error, then you know you've gone too far

I know that. What I want to do is to know the size of an array without an error message.

Is this any help? I found it on the reference CD that comes with beginner's guide to darkbasic game programming...

ARRAY COUNT(Array Name)

Description Returns the number of items within an array. Returns Integer

Hmmm, never heard of it, and apparently, neither has DarkBASIC, lol...

Good try though...

Well I took it off the CD that came with the book, it didn't explain how to use it though, perhaps you have to set a Variable = ARRAY COUNT(myString$) or something?

I didn't make it up honest, there's no saying that the author of the book didn't though

Yeah, i knew it was a DBPro command, because i have used it before.

But, I'd never heard of it in relation to DBClassic.
