What do you mean by "does not return the proper values.". ArrayBsearch return is the index of searched array. I check and it's correct.

Is this what you looking for

c1[j]= Array_B [ArrayBsearch(Array_B,Array_A[j],WHOLE_ARRAY,0,MODE_ASCEND)];

c1[j]=ArrayBsearch(Array_B,Array_A[j],WHOLE_ARRAY,0,MODE_ASCEND);


Of course it doesn't. Array_B is NOT sorted. RTFM

Note: Binary search processes only sorted arrays. To sort numeric arrays use ArraySort() functions

I tried that and it still does not give me the correct results.

The results should be

9

10

8

7

0...

I am not getting these results ...

To make it clear what I am trying to do. I need to find the index value in Array_B of each value in Array_A.

Re - run on build 409 and 419 Vista HB. The result : 9 - 10 - 8 - 0 - 0 - 9 - 11 - 10 - 11 - 8. Did you expect the result should be : 9 - 10 - 8 - 7 - 0 - 2 - 11 - 3 - 4 - 1 ?, because if it is, I should delete my previous comment then and also now I don't understand it too, which is good because I don't have to answer question :)

Think we found bug :(

 
Those are exactly the values I expected. Am I doing something wrong ?

No, phillw. You don't have any trouble with ArrayBsearch, you're not doing anything wrong, so you don't have to feel guilty about it :).
 

Thanks alot for your help. I just wrote a loop program to get the proper results.

I appreciate the help though, means alot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're welcome. I never use ArrayBsearch(), coz I don't know what it is until you show me here.
