I'm using the same script in this post: thread333-1208172

I need to be able to dynamically create variables based off of what "Foo" contains in that script posted by Sheco at the end. Is that possible?
 
Code:
<%
Dim Foo
Dim Bar()
Dim Indx
Indx = 0
For Each Foo in Request.Form
  Bar(Indx) = Request.Form(Foo)
  Response.Write Foo & " = " & Request.Form(Foo)
  Response.Write "<br>" & vbCrLf
  Indx = Indx + 1
Next
%>

There you go - all in a nice array!

You can create stuff off foo within the loop but not outside the loop.

Say you have a collection with n+1 items. You can iterate through the collection like
Code:
for i = 0 to n
   set foo = coll(i)
   ... do something
next
What for each does is it gets rid of you having to count up how many items you have. In the above example, you lose i and n.
Code:
for each foo in coll
   ... do something
next
You can create stuff from foo in ... do something.
