String array comparison

Going from vba to a strongly typed language explains a lot. The main complaint I have with your original vba version is that you expect the caller to be reasonable and accurate. I find it best to assume the caller is the exact opposite until proven otherwise. That is best even if the caller is yourself. Set bg and tp to -1 before starting the loop and check to make sure both are >= 0 before setting the double value. You can set up a double[][] vl_reg3 = {vl_reg12, vl_reg14, vl_reg16, vl_reg18, vl_reg20, vl_reg22, vl_reg23, vl_reg24, vl_reg25}; and use the same index formats in the new language as you did in the old vba code. Don't appologize for being stubborn, that's a normal trait for a programmer. You have to be in order to be beaten down over and over again by the code you write and getting up and trying again. Just dial back the stubbornness when meeting other humans and listen. (That's something I have to watch out for.)
KP, thanks for the help and the advice. I am persistent and stubborn, but when it comes to listening to the people on the list who know better I am all ears. You are right about the error checking for caller mistakes, I really should do more of that. I will try your multi-array as you suggested. I am still having a bit of trouble passing a string from VBA Declare statement to the C++ function correctly and checking if the string matches existing strings already in the C++ function. I think I am getting hung up on the ASCII/Unicode difference. I will keep toiling away. Again, thank you very much.

Oh, also I typed into my .cpp file as you wrote: double[][] vl_reg3 = {vl_reg12, vl_reg14, vl_reg16, vl_reg18, vl_reg20, vl_reg22, vl_reg23, vl_reg24, vl_reg25}; At first set of brackets: Error: expected an identifier At second set of brackets: Error: an array may not have elements of this type At text vl_reg3: Error: expectd a ';' for some reason it does not like it that way. I am not sure why.

Hey all, hope everyone had a great weekend. I have some code where I am passing a string array and some numbers and want to reconcile the two as far as a lookup table. When I want to compare a value in an array to a value passed to the function it wants arg1 to be boolean, but I am not sure the proper syntax. can anyone give me an idea of what I am doing wrong? Also, I am not sure the code will work as written anyway, but this is the only error popping up so far. double __stdcall HEI_F2(string &arg1, int &arg2) { int tp; int bg; int counter, typ, bwg, b; string vl_reg1[16] = {"70-30 Cu-Ni", "90-10 Cu-Ni", "Admiralty Metal", "Aluminum Brass", "Aluminum Bronze", "Arsenical Copper", "Cold-Rolled Low Carbon Steel", "Copper Iron 194 (Olin 194)", "Titanium Grades 1 & 2", "304 SS", "316/317 SS", "N08367 (AL6XN)", "S43035 (TP439)", "S44660 (Sea-Cure)", "S44735 (AL29-4C)"}; string a; int vl_reg2[10] = {12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 23, 24, 25}; double vl_reg12[16] = {0.71, 0.8, 0.93, 0.92, 0.89, 0.98, 0.81, 1, 0.64, 0.54, 0.53, 0.48, 0.63, 0.58, 0.58}; double vl_reg14[16] = {0.78, 0.85, 0.96, 0.95, 0.93, 1, 0.86, 1.01, 0.71, 0.62, 0.61, 0.56, 0.71, 0.66, 0.66}; double vl_reg16[16] = {0.83, 0.89, 0.98, 0.97, 0.96, 1.01, 0.9, 1.02, 0.77, 0.69, 0.67, 0.63, 0.77, 0.72, 0.72}; double vl_reg18[16] = {0.88, 0.93, 1, 0.99, 0.98, 1.02, 0.94, 1.03, 0.83, 0.75, 0.74, 0.7, 0.82, 0.79, 0.79}; double vl_reg20[16] = {0.92, 0.96, 1.01, 1.01, 1, 1.03, 0.97, 1.03, 0.89, 0.82, 0.81, 0.78, 0.88, 0.85, 0.85}; double vl_reg22[16] = {0.95, 0.98, 1.02, 1.02, 1.01, 1.03, 0.98, 1.04, 0.91, 0.86, 0.85, 0.82, 0.91, 0.89, 0.89}; double vl_reg23[16] = {0.96, 0.99, 1.02, 1.02, 1.01, 1.04, 0.99, 1.04, 0.93, 0.88, 0.87, 0.84, 0.92, 0.9, 0.9}; double vl_reg24[16] = {0.97, 0.99, 1.03, 1.02, 1.02, 1.04, 1, 1.04, 0.94, 0.9, 0.89, 0.86, 0.94, 0.92, 0.92}; double vl_reg25[16] = {0.97, 1, 1.03, 1.03, 1.02, 1.04, 1, 1.04, 0.95, 0.91, 0.9, 0.88, 0.95, 0.93, 0.93}; string vl_reg3[16] = {"vl_reg12", "vl_reg14", "vl_reg16", "vl_reg18", "vl_reg20", "vl_reg22", "vl_reg23", "vl_reg24", "vl_reg25"}; counter = 0; do{ a = vl_reg1[counter]; if (arg1 = a) { tp = counter; } counter = counter + 1; }while (counter <= 16); counter = 0; do{ b = vl_reg2[counter]; if (tp = b) { bg = counter; } counter = counter + 1; }while (counter <= 10); return vl_reg3[bg][tp]; }
This code is not C. It could be C++ or Java. A string in C IS a character ARRAY and is not declared as string but as char[string length+1]. Try: if (arg1.equal(a)) { tp = counter; }

Oh, also I typed into my .cpp file as you wrote: double[][] vl_reg3 = {vl_reg12, vl_reg14, vl_reg16, vl_reg18, vl_reg20, vl_reg22, vl_reg23, vl_reg24, vl_reg25}; At first set of brackets: Error: expected an identifier At second set of brackets: Error: an array may not have elements of this type At text vl_reg3: Error: expectd a ';' for some reason it does not like it that way.

Thanks so much for your time and attention. I should note that I mislabeled my code. This is actually the tube material "70-30 Cu-Ni", "90-10 Cu-Ni", "Admiralty Metal", "Aluminum Brass", "Aluminum Bronze", "Arsenical Copper", "Cold-Rolled Low Carbon Steel", "Copper Iron 194 (Olin 194)", "Titanium Grades 1 & 2", "304 SS", "316/317 SS", "N08367 (AL6XN)", "S43035 (TP439)", "S44660 (Sea-Cure)", "S44735 (AL29-4C)" versus the tube gauge {12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 23, 24, 25}; Which when matched up in x, y matrix returns the HEI gauge correction factor. On another note, I am tying to pass the tube gauge (int) and the tube material (string) from a VBA function: Declare Function TSx Lib "C:/cnd_perf.dll" (arg1 As Integer, arg2 As String) As Double and return the factor found in the array values you showed in your code (should be a double or a long) back to Excel, (and maybe later in another function return the tube material and gauge also.) Problem is I can pass the VBA string to C++, but have had no success in checking it against the tube material values as shown above so I can get the correct lookup value between the material and the gauge. I have tried char (with strcmp), BSTR, and std::string, but I am still not quite there

Change the names to relevant ones :)

This is a really different issue. I suppose VBA uses Unicode, so what is transmitted to your dll is a
BSTRor awchar_t*. First investigate around that. If you don't solve post in the Questions and Answers area with VBA C++ dll tags; cheers, ARWhen the wise (person) points at the moon the fool looks at the finger (Chinese proverb)
