Clearing String Tables

[ian.m.tierney]

What is the best method for clearing data from a string table? I have 10 tables of about 6000 values each. I would like to set all the values in these tables equal to zero after each table is written in a loop. I know that this could be done in a loop iterating and reseting every value, however I think this is inefficient.

Is there a better way to clear tables than iterating through every value?

Hey all you table users out there, I just came across this code and realized I’ve neglected to mention a couple of commands that should be your friend. Here’s the code I saw (and was tediously stepping through in PAC Control’s debugger, on my way to the code I REALLY wanted to debug): // Initialize the string tables for i=0 to 99 step 1 DstStrTblHdr[i] = ""; DstStrTblBody[i] = ""; next Here’s the better way to initialize those two string tables: // Initialize the string tables Mov…

(Hint, put a -1 in for the length).
