Okay. Long-time VB programmer. Founf Gambas, yay. Figured the easiest way to learn it was to take some of my old utility programs (REALLY simple) and convert them up. Come to the wiki and Gambas One when something's unclear or just odd. To wit:

I need to declare an array as string and then load it up with the variables.

so that I can later do this:

Gambas lets me do this, but never seems to load the strings into the array in the first place. Tried

so I could try

but it wouldn't let me.

So simple as this is, what am I doing wrong?

I need to declare an array as string and then load it up with the variables.

Code (gambas)

1. Dim arrSyllable As New String[185]
2.  
3. arrSyllable[1] = "a"
4. arrSyllable[2] = "e"
5. arrSyllable[3] = "i"
6. ...

Iso that I can later do this:

Code (gambas)

1.    For SyllableCounter = 1 To NumberOfSyllables
2.        SyllableNumber = CInt(RandomNumber(184)) 'No more than 184 syllables in the array
3.        Word = Word & arrSyllable(SyllableNumber)
4.    Next 'SyllableCounter
5.

Gambas lets me do this, but never seems to load the strings into the array in the first place. Tried

Code (gambas)

1. Public arrSyllable as new String[185]
2.  

so I could try

Code (gambas)

1. arrSyllable.Add[1] = "a"
2. ...
3.  

but it wouldn't let me.

It'll take a little while to adjust from vb to gambas, they are syntactically similar and different in various ways but you'll soon get the hang of it.

Maybe something like this is what you need

Any local variables declared with Dim are only visible to the local method.
global variables are declared with Public or Private in the global space (top of file)

Variable contents can be intserted at definition or at runtime in a method.
There are various initiation methods.
For a Form like FMain.class you can use the _new() method or Form_Open()


or initiate it in the classes _new method


Or by adding to a initiated array

Or by adding to a initiated sized array (as you did)

Have fun
