test for array

Author: Allen Pollard

Posted: 2012-07-12 03:28:22   Link

Hi Foxgang

I have needed to test to see if a var is an array or not. Now I assume

Foxpro knows else the error is not an array would not pop up. But is there

an isArray type command to avoid is not an array errors? I don't think there

is but how do you guys handle this other than try catch.

Al

Hi Dave

I guessed as much but I wondered if I missed something. As FoxPro knows if

it's an array or not I thought maybe there was a proper way rather than

relying on errors. So be it. When you bringing the kite over for a visit?

Or you could use

Type("aLen(vVar)")

which will return "N" if vVar is an array and "U" if it isn't

When this damned weather gets better, I've already aborted 2 cross channel trips this year. Whatever happened to global warming ... it isn't up here in the North!.

TYPE("vVar",1) will return 'A' if vVar is an array

(and 'C' if it is a collection).

Gérard.

Jean,

Flying in bad weather is no problem, it's just the landing.

My instrument rating only clears me down to 500ft and the minima on both occasions was about 50ft!!! Maybe I should have used a lead weight on a length of string to confirm the runway was there!! lol

Dave and Gérard

Thanks for the ideas. Now there is a test that won't produce an error. Great

stuff, just what I wanted.

Dave

Just listen out for "Down a bit"
