Take Away: Arrays in Object Pascal.

Arrays

The following demonstrates how to declare, set, and use values in an array:

procedure TMenuButtonForm.Button2Click(Sender: TObject);

var
  ar: array[1..10] of String;
begin

  ar[1] := 'David';
  ar[7] := 'Young';
  ShowMessage(ar[1]);
  ShowMessage(ar[7]);

end;

Using multi-dimensional arrays

It sounds like you might be talking about a multi-dimensional array. Here is an example of that:

procedure TMenuButtonForm.Button3Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  ar      : Array[1..3, 1..2] of String;
  Counter : Integer;
begin

  ar[1,1] := 'Mike';
  ar[1,2] := 'Prestwood';

  ar[2,1] := 'David';
  ar[2,2] := 'Young';

  ar[3,1] := 'Phillipe';
  ar[3,2] := 'Kahn';

  for Counter := 1 to High(ar) do
  begin
    ShowMessage(ar[Counter, 1] + ' ' + ar[Counter, 2]);
  end;

end;

Using 'open ended' arrays

Yes, that's dynamic arrays. Here is an example of a two dimensional resizable dynamic array:

procedure TMenuButtonForm.Button4Click(Sender: TObject);

var
  ar      : Array of Array of String;
  Counter : Integer;

begin

  SetLength(ar, 3, 3); //This sets the size.

  ar[0,1] := 'Mike';
  ar[0,2] := 'Prestwood';

  ar[1,1] := 'David';
  ar[1,2] := 'Young';

  ar[2,1] := 'Phillipe';
  ar[2,2] := 'Kahn';

  for Counter := Low(ar) to High(ar) do
  begin
    ShowMessage(ar[Counter, 1] + ' ' + ar[Counter, 2]);
  end;

end;
