Dictionary to Array

[Skie]

I could've swore I've seen this posted before, but I can't find it. I know I can enumerate a dictionary to pull it into an array, but I was pretty sure you could also use the Array function to pull it into an array.

Dim aArray()
oDictionary = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
oDictionary.Add 1,"A"
oDictionary.Add 2,"B"
oDictionary.Add 3,"C"
aArray = Array(oDictionary.Items)

I can get it to work with a join on the dictionary then a split on the join, but only if the array isn't already defined.

Why not just assign it like this...

Set oDictionary = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
oDictionary.Add 1,"A"
oDictionary.Add 2,"B"
oDictionary.Add 3,"C"

aArray = oDictionary.Items
Dim i
For i = 0 To UBound(aArray)
WScript.Echo aArray(i)
Next

I think I may have misunderstood your question...if so, sorry!

If you already have a dictionary (something like an associative array), why do you want to convert it to a scalar array ?
