Open Ended Arrays or Similar Data Structures

[Hal Vaughan]

Is there any way, in OOo BASIC, to create something like a vector or linked list or anything that gives me something like an array that I can keep adding elements to? (Everything I found with an array indicated it has to be declared with a set number of members.)


Thanks!

search in the OOo help "ReDim"

Sub Test_Array
Dim arr(0) as Integer
arr(0) = 0

Dim i%
For i = 1 To 10
ReDim Preserve arr(i)
arr(i) = i
Next
End Sub

Thank you. I saw ReDim, but from what I read (and it wasn't an actual OOo web page, so it wasn't official), it looked like using it destroyed the current array. Now I'm straight on that.
