copy memory

[shanley06]

i was wondering if there was a way to take all of the memory from an array and put it on the screen directly. I have an array declared as

dim vscreen%(3200)

and i edit the memory in the array like

def seg=varseg(vscreen%)
poke varptr(vscreen%)+x+(y*320),col
def seg

where x and where are the coordinates of the point and col is the color. I was wondering if there was a way to take all of the memory from that array and put it directly on the moniter.

Check the PUT statement (Graphics) . That may be what you want.

i already know about PUT, i want a way to also copy the information from one array to another also. say i would just put in the sgment and offset for the two memory locations and it would just dump all the data into it.

You might take a look at thread314-404524. I shows a way to quickly save arbitrary memory blocks (outside of QB space) to a file and restore them to a given segment/offset (say... a display page). It should take only a small stretch of imagination to modify the code to do what you desire.
