I want to know how to specify a function to return an array. Not associated array, an Array. It seems obvious but defining it like this doesn't seem to work.

function Foo() as Array
return []
end function

bar = Foo()

function Foo() as Array 
bar = [0,1]
return bar
end function

You basically wrote the same thing I did. The problem here is that the 'Array' part is treated as syntax array on eclipse.

Never mind, I found out through the syntax error that 'Array' is not a valid token
