Hi all

I have a double complex array for example 500 by 500 and I want to subtract (3.5e14 + j 2.5e12) from all the values in the complex array that I have... Is there a way of doing it in IDL

Thanks

Thanks Jim I tried what you gave me and seems like not getting what I want. I have the following:

array_HV = make_array(5000, 5359, /dcomplex, /nozero)
filename_HV = ('C:\Users\asus\Desktop\Metasensing\IDL_PROJECTS\20151021115 853_12_SAR_CPLX_0_pres_8.dat')
OPENR, importUnit, filename_HV, /GET_LUN
READU, importUnit, array_HV
CLOSE, importUnit
FREE_LUN, importUnit

array_HV = dcomplexarr(5000, 5359) ; your array, simulated with zeroes
array_HV -= dcomplex(3.6435137d11, 1.6869517d12) ; subtracts the scalar from all elements
print, array_HV[0]

The value of array_HV at [2798,2263] is (3.6435137d11, 1.6869517d12) so if I subtract it should read zero when I write print, array_HV- [2798,2263] but It did not give me zero. It is giving the following:

IDL> print, ARRAY_HV -[2798,2263]
( 3.6435137e+011, 1.6869517e+012)( 3.6435137e+011, 1.6869517e+012)
IDL> print, ARRAY_HV [2798,2263]
( 3.6435137e+011, 1.6869517e+012)

Hope you got my point

Thanks

Maybe this is just a misunderstanding of IDL's syntax, or perhaps a typo on your part.

The following expression subtracts the two-element vector of *integer* values 2798 and 2263 from ARRAY_HV:

IDL> print, ARRAY_HV - [2798,2263]

If your intent is to subtract an array element's value from all other elements in the array, you would write that as

IDL> result = ARRAY_HV - ARRAY_HV[2798,2263]
IDL> print, result[2798, 2263]
