Yes, that's what I call a hit. This is exactly what we need. This is a huge step forward. This is absolutely great. I stopped my project so I could study this properly. Using nested arrays is absolutely great for both audio and video. I like the way Word creates menus. The only thing I don't know is - I couldn't find any information about _Preserve. If a nested array needs to be enlarged or reduced without losing data. Is that done automatically? No. Or is it? So we use _Preserve on the QB64PE side. But then - how does the memory overwrite on the C side happen? Do we have to destroy the entire structure first and reload it?
So here's how I see it:
Forget about TYPE with this method. You don't need it anymore.
and now I'll untangle a bit of the second program:
Another question, besides Preserve. Can an array with multiple elements be used as a nested array? (two, three dimensional)? Can you write example for this?
Definitely this is really very useful. Thank you for sharing.

Code: (Select All)
Do
Read n$
If n$ = "END" Then Exit Do
Read spd&, z60#, pwr&, cyl&, cc&, rar&, value& ' how write this using TYPE (not possible, just for orientation)
Dim c As _Offset: c = Var_New ' Type C
Var_SetString c, n$ ' n As String Type CAR
Var_Push c, Var_New: Var_SetInt Var_At(c, 0), spd& ' mph C() as CAR here is nested field C() spd As Long
Var_Push c, Var_New: Var_SetDouble Var_At(c, 1), z60# ' 0-60 End Type z60 As Integer but why Var_SetDouble???
Var_Push c, Var_New: Var_SetInt Var_At(c, 2), pwr& ' bhp pwr As Long
Var_Push c, Var_New: Var_SetInt Var_At(c, 3), cyl& ' cylinders cyl As Long
Var_Push c, Var_New: Var_SetInt Var_At(c, 4), cc& ' engine cc cc As Long
Var_Push c, Var_New: Var_SetInt Var_At(c, 5), rar& ' rarity rar as Long
Var_Push c, Var_New: Var_SetInt Var_At(c, 6), value& ' value value as Long
Var_Push MainDeck, c ' End Type Dim MainDeck As C
LOOP
