Ok, so i've got this piece of code here...
I'm trying to send data to an array, using the value of a variable in another array. (Basically, rather than using multidimensional arrays, I'm using arrays that work with each other).

However the error i'm getting is - Conversion from string "" to type 'Integer' is not valid

Where am I going wrong?

Without knowing the variable types for the things in the code it is going to be hard to pinpoint exactly where the problem lies.

How many of those variables are arrays?

KrisDwyer

Player, Team and League are the arrays.

The rest are variables

For the first iteration of this occuring:

Playercount = 100
Teamcount = 100
Leaguecount = 1

Flyguy

Either Team(), League() or PlayerCount is a string (array).

KrisDwyer

Yeah, they are all string arrays.

The purpose of it is, that some data is integer, and the rest is characters.

KrisDwyer

To give a better idea, this is the preceding line to save the "team"

This actually works.

My immediate reaction is to suggest that arrays are not the right tool for the job here, even the simpler code setting the team name is quite difficult to follow.

In the code what is the number 1 representing?

KrisDwyer

It was my fault, don't worry I've sorted it out now!

What the problem was, was that i had not set the variables for the initializing of the array, thus it was trying to access Team("", PlayerCount)!

Thanks for your help guys!

Even though it is working I would suggest that Arrays are not the right tool for the job, arrays of arrays of arrays are going to get confusing and messy very quickly.

I would personally have defined a class for each of the major entities Team, Player, League and exposed collections from the appropriate object e.g. A League would have a collection of Teams, a team a collection of players and so on.
