NET Multidimensional array syntax problem

Post by Anonymous »

Hi All,

LOCAL aMulti AS STRING[,]
aMulti := STRING[,]{2,2}{ <STRING>{ "X#", "xsharp.eu" }, <STRING>{ "C#", "microsoft.com" } }

It compiles correctly and runs without errors but aMulti is not filled with the data (NULL values)

Syntax problem?

(X#Core dialect, tested in XIDE)
See picture for details.

NET Multidimensional array syntax problem

Hi Guy,

Thanks for the report, it seems the compiler creates the array with the first part of the statement (aMulti := STRING[,]{2,2}) which initializes the array and ignores the rest, that's why you get NULL values only.

I'll open a report about this, in general the array initialization aspect needs some improvements indeed. For now please specify multi-dim array elements one by one.
