Array to array

Is there a fast(no loops) way to copy the content of an array to another array?
I actually need to copy the value of the fields 5 to 9 from a first array( dim myFirstArr(0 to 9) ) to a second array (dim mySecondArr(0 to 4)).

Thanks.

It depends on what the array contains. Under certain circumstances, it's possible to use rtlmovememory to copy the array contents at a low level. You'll have problems doing this however if the array contains objects or (I think, though I'm not 100% sure) variable length strings.

>>It depends on what the array contains
My arrays are byte arrays.
Do you have some code demonstrating the use of rtlmovememory?

For the above to work make sure you define the arrays with code like "Dim myFirstArr(0 to 9) As Byte" and "Dim mySecondArr(0 to 4) As Byte".

I actually had time to find out about it myself but your code is exactly what I found so full points for you.

A problem with EE is that only one can get the grade and the points... This results in unfair question validation. I was forced to give points to 1 of you guys though you worked on it both.
Sorry

No worries. It sometimes adds to the fun - trying to type an answer out as quickly as possible before somebody else gets in :)
