Re: 1 $var 2 2$vars part 2

THERE ARE OTHER FACTORS WHICH I AM NOT MENTIONING THAT COME INTO PLAY.

In addition to not shouting, you're saying:

"I'm not going to give you all the information, but I'm going to get mad when you don't give me the answer I want".

Huh. We, as a community, pride ourselves at going beyond the question. Our experience is that most people asking a question are asking the wrong question. Once they learn what question they need to be asking, then that is where the majority of their growth comes from.

Now, if there is a reason why you want array => array (and I'm sure there's a good reason), you really need to state that up front. Something along the lines of:

I need to be able to take data that is in two arrays and create one array from them. Due to reasons I cannot discuss, I cannot rewrite the code to use other data structures.

At that point, no-one is going to suggest alternative data structures. Why? Because you've demonstrated that you're asking the right question. We've all been there and we know what the score is.

Relax - you're among friends.

Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.

and in response to dragonchild. if you read my post (along with my first post), i stated EXACTLY what i was looking for. the problem arises in that what i want is not generally in good practice. yes i realize that, and yes i even appreciate you pointing this out to me. but i am not looking for improvements, this is in fact what i want to do. ...and just to state one more time, i did not intend that to depict shouting and i am very appreciative of the time and help that has been bestowed upon me!
