Retrieving all values from an array in AutoHotkey script

Question

I have created an array as xArray:=[2, 3, 4]

I need to use these values one by one in a loop.

I have tried using a counter variable, but it didn't work.

There's even a predefined "A_Index" variable in ahk scripts. Can someone elaborate on that? It might be the solution.

I don't know AHK, but searching in the docs I found the snippet Loop %ArrayCount% { element := Array%A_Index% }, (where ArrayCount is the size of the array) which seems to do an array traversal. Source: autohotkey.com/docs/misc/Arrays.htm — Mephy

but then i want to access the value of each element.. this would just help me to get the Count.. — Sagar

The variable element seems to receive the value in the given position, similar to element = Array[i]; in C. — Mephy

@Mephy They way you've described is the "old" array notation using sequentially numbered variables as pseudo arrays. AHK_L on the other hand provides support for actual arrays, similar to JavaScript's syntax and usage. For direct comparison, please read AHK_L arrays. — MCL

Is it possible to use array values and regular text in a single MsgBox?

@StevenVascellaro MsgBox % "this is a regular text " val " some more text"
