Define Empty String Array?
Dec 2nd, 2007, 5:17pm  
Sorry i couldn't find the answer on the board:

I want to define a String Array at the start of the programm, but it should be empty, since i will fill it later and i also don't know how many entries there will be.

But it only works when i define a number of entries at the beginning?

String [] nameXY = new String[20000];

But i would like to have it:

String [] nameXY = new String[];
...
nameXY[i] = "Someentry";
...
nameXY.length = the actual number of entries

So after i filled it i can ask for its length.
Can somebody tell me how to do this?

Thanks a ot

ok, got it, sorry for the post:

String nameXY[] = {};

nameXY = append(nameXY,"string");
