Arrays and VBScript... 3

[mmaz]

Hi,

Is it possible to build a multi-dimensional array in VBScript? If so, what is the syntax?

Thanks in advance!

Marie

dim myArray(3, 5)

You now have a 3x5 array.

hope it helps!

Paul, it looks like this array cannot be dynamic. Am I right? If I put a variable of type integer inside the brackets:

dim myArray(3,intCount)

I get the error:

Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0402'
Expected integer constant

Oops, I just read about Redim...Forget about my last question.

mmaz -
here's a side note.
in VBScript 5.0, you can use execute.

for example:
execute "dim someArray(" &dimension1& "," &dimension2& &quot"

if you do it this way, then you can create perfectly sized arrays every time, so you don't even need to worry about the redim statement. I don't know if there's a performance increase or not regarding execute, but it's worth a thought.

In case you were wondering, you can 'execute' any valid VB code within the "". So far the only useful one I've thought of is the perfect array.

hope this helps.

You can also

redim

the innermost dimension of a multidimensonal array, e.g.

dim myArray(3,4)

redim myArray(3, intCount)

hope this helps. Yours,

Rob.

Hi,
Does VBScript follow (Row,Column) format or (Column,Row) format ?


Thank you,
RR.

Its (Row, Col).

ie.

For i = 1 to 5
For j = 1 to 5
array(i, j) - first run would be (1, 1), (1, 2), etc
Next
Next
