Looking for Help with Arrays

New comment
 
Hi,

I have some test code below and it is driving me crazy because it should work but doesn't, so I must not understand how arrays functions work in MQ4

What I think I am doing;

Create a Single Index array with 10 elements
Pass that array to a function
Resize the Global Array by 1 Index
Copy the passed Array to the Global Array
Do this 10 Times, so I should have 10 Indexes of 10 Elements each when I am done in the Global Array

But That is not what is happening after Index 0 and 1 starting on Index 2 the output from the Print statement shows empty values fro the Array.

Any Ideas?

Thanks
EK

   ArrayResize(GlobalArray, Count+1);
   ArrayCopy(GlobalArray,Arr,Count,0,0);
}

We've changed sample in ArrayCopy topic in the new build. It was wrong.
  double array1[][6];
  double array2[10][6];
  // array2 is filled with some data
  ArrayCopyRates(array1);
  ArrayCopy(array2,array1,0,0,60);
  // array2 is having the first 10 bars from the history now (first bar considered as bar with index [Bars-1])
  ArrayCopy(array2,array1,0,Bars*6-60,60);
  // array2 is having the last 10 bars from the history now (last bar considered as current bar, bar wit index [0])



Use Count*10 or Count*ArrayRange(GlobalArray,1) for copying

 
Hello Slawa,

Thanks for the info.
This is what I have done and it works

ArrayCopy(GlobalArray,Arr,Count*ArrayRange(GlobalArray,1),0,Count*ArrayRange(GlobalArray,1));



Thanks this was driving me crazy for the past 3 days
