    redim byref passed array-variable

    i want to know something

    see the small example:
    Uses "console"
    
    Function fTest( ByRef a(), ByVal newDims As Long ) As Long
    
    ' this function shall redim some array a and return new ubound
    
      ReDim Preserve a(newDims)
      
      Function = UBound(a)
      
    End Function
    
    
    Dim foo() As Long ' the real, global array
    
    PrintL Str$( fTest( foo, 123) )
    
    PrintL "now:" & UBound(foo) ' i want it to print 123 too :(
    
    
    WaitKey
    
    thinBasic itself has a few functions that can do this as Dir_ListArray or Parse - where the passed variable to redim is mandatory a string.
    But is it possible from script-side to do similar and redim any array passed by user like that?

    Any ideas- hints?

    It is simple, just specify the type in the generic array parameter:
    Uses "console"
    
    Long laurel() ' the global array
    
    Function TBMain()
    
      Long hardy() ' the local array 
      
      PrintL fTest( laurel, 128)
      PrintL "now:" & UBound(laurel)   
      PrintL
      PrintL fTest( hardy, 256)                                      
      PrintL "now:" & UBound(hardy) 
      
      WaitKey
    
    End Function
     
    Function fTest( ByRef a() As Any, ByVal newDims As Long ) As Long
     
      ReDim Preserve a(newDims)                                      
      Return UBound(a)
       
    End Function
