Hi Jonathan,

Assume you have declared your initial array, lets call it array_init

array_init=INTARR(100) ;for arguments sake

if we now assume that you are in the loop and want to append the new
data, which we also assume is 100 columns long (i.e fixed length)

new_row=intarr(100) ;the array of new data
FOR i=0,99 DO BEGIN
;some operation or whatever you do here
;to place the data in new_row

array_init=[[array_init],[new_row]] ;appened it to the original data
ENDFOR

your array_init will now grow one row at a time with each loop. You
might want to consider using a WHILE statement though to avoid the FOR
loop. I hope this helps, and is correct. Try it with some dummy arrays
(I did).

Cheers
Andrew
