Create Dynamic Arrays

[Sunny]

Hi,

Is there a way in javascript to create Dynamic arrays or arrays on
fly.
Something Like:
var "ptsgN"+sd = new Array();

Here sd is incrementing by 1.

I have lots of data that I am putting in arrays.
I dont have the exact no.
i dont want to do that:
var ptsgN1 = new Array();
var ptsgN2 = new Array();
var ptsgN3 = new Array();
var ptsgN4 = new Array();
.....

Any Advice.

This would work:

for(var i=0;i<9;i++)
window["ptsgN"+i]=[];

[] is the same as new Array()

Two dimensional array?

In ECMAScript implementations , arrays are dynamic by default.

var "ptsgN"+sd = new Array();

Array object references can be elements of arrays.

Any Advice.

RTFM, finally. (And why not employ a spellchecker before posting?)
