tomekbe OL Newbie Registered: 10/30/18 Posts: 7 Loc: Colchester, UK	Hi A bit of a stupid question, but I can't find information on how to break line of code in Talk Code. For example in vbscript is a space and underscore ' _' There is a possibility?

Should you end up with very long line of code, I suggest you assign part of it into a variable as to keep your code readable. _________________________ ♪♫♪♫ 99 frigging bugs in my code 99 frigging bugs Take one down Code around 127 frigging bugs in my code ♪♫♪♫

tomekbe OL Newbie Registered: 10/30/18 Posts: 7 Loc: Colchester, UK	I asked because I have many array elements "define(&varArray, arraystring, [&ADDR, &ADDR1, &ADDR2, &ADDR3, &ADDR4, &ADDR5, &ADDR6......" and I have to add few new. I have changed variables name to short so now is better Thanks Jean Tom

Jean-Cédric OL Expert Registered: 10/03/16 Posts: 681 Loc: Québec, Canada	You could as well define your array with empty string and then assign each variable to a an array cell, as below: Code: define(&varArray, arraystring, ["","","","","","","",... &varArray[0] := &ADDR1 &varArray[1] := &ADDR2 &varArray[2] := &ADDR3 &varArray[3] := &ADDR4 ... This way your code stays clean and you can name your variables as you like. _________________________ ♪♫♪♫ 99 frigging bugs in my code 99 frigging bugs Take one down Code around 127 frigging bugs in my code ♪♫♪♫

tomekbe OL Newbie Registered: 10/30/18 Posts: 7 Loc: Colchester, UK	I tried early to define array without elements but doesn't work define(&varArray, arraystring,[]) &varArray[0] := &ADDR1 Show(&ADDR1) Your idea make sense Thanks for help Jean

Jean-Cédric OL Expert Registered: 10/03/16 Posts: 681 Loc: Québec, Canada	The reason is that in PressTalk, there is no such thing as a dynamically sized array. You have to define it to its maximum possible size, and assign values to each cell. It would help if you read our documentation on arrays _________________________ ♪♫♪♫ 99 frigging bugs in my code 99 frigging bugs Take one down Code around 127 frigging bugs in my code ♪♫♪♫
