[Gambas-user] How to extend the String[] class ??

[Fabien Bodard]

In the other hand why are you not using you own derivated type

Just create a class named "String1" or other
With inherit String[]


Use it every where you need

Dim myarray as new string1

Just somme return that need to be passed to a string1 type

For example split()

You can't do split(...). myarrayfunction
You must do
Dim myarray as string1 = split(...)
Myarray.myarrayfuntion

But you lost only 1 line.
