Odd data showing up in an array

[Riegg]

Could someone shead some light on this:

I had this in a script where the sarray held 0's or a 1's...

while count < 41
atoi sarray [count] [1] iarray [count] [1]
count++
endwhile

I got all sorts of crazy data and mostly 0's in iarray

I had to do this to get it to work...

while count < 41
atoi sarray [count] [1] itemp
iarray [count] [1] = itemp
count++
endwhile

I don't know why the first example didn't work for you. The syntax is correct and when I tried it, it did work for me.

The only thing I would suggest is try removing the spaces from your array variables.

ie sarray[count][1]  instead of sarray [count] [1]

As for the example above, maybe a for loop would be more appropriate than a while loop as shown in the following example.

for count = 1 upto 40
atoi sarray[count][1] iarray[count][1]
endfor

Thanks... I have no clue where the crazy data came from... I did a usermsg before the while and everything was good and a usermsg after and the data was all messed up.... oh well
