C=> Btw, dynamic (list)arrays, are these possible in Blitz?

C=Yes, you can either Dim a normal Blitz List array to some really huge silly
C=size (although I'm not sure if that allocates the memory or not) or use Dave

Well what is silly. My problem is this: As I have a playlist in my player I
enable the user to make one ofcourse. She/he does so by selecting a directory
which then gets loaded into a listview etc. Ofcourse there`ll always be one
who has more than 1000, or 10000, or even more files in 1 directory. With a
dynamic list array only memory would be the limit. But now, what to do, I did
chose a listarray of 1000 entries and stop reading files when it hits the end
of either the array or the dir. Would it be best to get 10000 entries or leave
it to 1000, or 100000? Or should I use a dynamic array as in that DLL stuff.
But does that work with listviews?

C=and it saves you having to do your own routines or mess with pointers :)

Hehe good point ;-D
