Insert array contents in messagebox 1

[AlexIT]

I want to post the output of a portion of a string array into a message box. I was trying something like this:

For j = 0 to endrow
For i = 0 to endcol
strOut = strOut & strArray(j, i) & (CHR(13))
next i
next j

msgbox(strOut)

This only displays the last line...any ideas?

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex,

Can you post your actual code? What you posted wouldn't work at all in FoxPro.

Alex,

What do you mean by a "string array"? If it is an ordinary string, use the SUBSTR() function. If you want to concatenate elements of an array, you will have to loop through the array, adding the strings together.

Also, msgbx() is the wrong function. You need MESSAGEBOX().

Alex,

Your problem is written in VB, However, here's the VFP version that works. I tried it with a 2x2 array.

*Setup an example
dimension strArray(2,2)
strArray(1,1) = "AAA"
strArray(1,2) = "BBB"
strArray(2,1) = "CCC"
strArray(2,2) = "DDD"
store 2 to endrow,endcol

*Run the Test
strOut = ""
For j = 1 to endrow
  For i = 1 to endcol
    strOut = strOut + strArray(j, i) + (CHR(13))
  next i
next j
messagebox(strOut)
