TMemory for DBPro includes over 50 procedures to allocate, manipulate, and deallocate strings, arrays (1d, 2d, and 3d), and lists. TMemory places no limitation on how many dynamic strings, arrays, or lists can be created. TMemory gives DBPro much of the dynamics found in external scripting languages without the hassle of learning one. Amongst TMemory's features include:

- Inexpensive ($10.00 USD)

- Convenient string procedures. Including Field, InsertNum, InsertStr, Remove, Repeat, Replace, Search, and Tally.

- Arrays and lists can be of data type Byte, Short, Long/Integer, Single/Float, Double, and String.

- Arrays retain data when resized.

- Convenient list procedures. Including AddNum, AddStr, InsertNum, InsertStr, Remove, Reverse, Search, and Sort,

- Convenient pointer procedures to read and write from any given address. Pointer procedures support the data types Byte, Short, Long/Integer, Single/Float, and Double.

"DLL Talk" does seem to be about 3rd party dlls.

doesn't Ian M's dll's and DBP's core commands cover a lot of these functions?

personally I could do with a "you could use this to do this *insert immensily cool concept*" I've got a crick in my neck and it's stopping me from imagining.

I don't have a sig, live with it.

I'm not certain about Ian M's DLLs. However TMemory is unique to DBPro's core commands in that it allows the creation of strings, arrays, and lists dynamically. Meaning at run-time. This is convenient for the following reasons:

- Allows the construction of complex data structures. Such as lists in which each item is it's own array. Each array can be its own size and number of dimensions. They can even hold lists.

- Since all dynamically created strings, arrays, and lists are identified by Integers/Long, they can be passed to procedures and external as simply as any Integer.

so, could you use this to effectively make the equivelent of this;

type myType
name as string
stuff(0)
other(0)
endtype

and then be able to add to the array length, held within a data type?

Affectively, definitely. Such as:

+ Code Snippet

Type MyType
 Text1 As String
 Array1 As Integer
 Array2 As Integer
 List1 As Integer

EndType

Global Test As MyType
Test.Array1 = TM_Array_Create1D(Data_Type_Short, 1, 5)
Test.Array2 = TM_Array_Create2D(Data_Type_Double, 1, 5, 1, 10)
Test.List1 = TM_List_Create()

You could even create a "constructor" for the type. Keep in mind, all TMemory strings, lists, and arrays are handled via ids (pointers). You can store and transfer the ids wherever or however is convenient.

*If the "string" functions are not within "code" blocks, I'm not sure why.
