Yes, you can push pawn arrays into dynamic arrays. The speed won't matter in 99% of cases, so just go with whatever suits your needs.

Static arrays as faster for insertion and retrieving data. Do not believe?
Do some benchmarks, or understand how each of them works internally.

Hamlet, I think would by helpful explain about get/set array.

get/set_array are unrelated with this tutorial.

Ok.

I'm trying to use a dynamic array with read_file.

Something like that:

PHP Code:

    new Array:Text = ArrayCreate(TextLength);

    while(Line >= 0)
    {
        read_file(File, Line--, Text, TextLength, txtlen);
    } 


This one obviously throws an error. Is there any way I can do it?

Create a static array (new static_array[size]), put the string into it then push it with ArrayPushString to your Text array. You might be misunderstanding what cellarrays (dynamic arrays) are for.

Also don't use read_file.

I can't set the length of "static_array" into a variable, which is why I must use a dynamic array.

Any better methods I can use for such purpose? Or in general read_file is a bad idea?

How you read the file depends entirely on what is in the file and how you are going to use the data. Without context, there is really no suggestion that can be made other than what has already been said.

Any file reading/writing should use fopen(), fgets(), fputs(), fclose() and other similar functions.

I would recommend that you post a thread in Scripting Help explaining this file and how you are wanting to use it. Then, people can give you suggestions for how it might be done properly.
