Compare Array List 1

[JackSkellington]

How would I go about comparing items in a single array list?

 

[RonRepp]

Dim i as Int16
Dim AL as ArrayList = New ArrayList
Dim Found As Boolean
Dim Pos as Int16

AL.Add(1)
AL.Add(2)
AL.Add(3)

For i = 0 to AL.Count -1
  If Val(AL(i)) = 2 Then
     Found=True
     Pos = i
     Exit For
  Else
     Found = False
  End If
Next

If Found Then
  Messagebox.Show("Your Item Was Found at Position " & Pos)
Else
  Messagebox.Show("Your Item Was Not Found")
End If

I hope this helps.

Have you looked a iComparer?
Its used for custom comparisons,

You create a class implementing the IComparer, vs will auto-m add a function Compare, and using the x and y objects given, you can create your own comparison.

With this you just use (example with an ArrayList...):

FirstIndex = MyArray.BinarySearch(ItemToFind, MyIComparerClass)

This is good with custom classes/structures, or even searching in strings...
