For Loop A-Z 2

[lazytrucker]

Just wondering if it is possible to carry out a loop from a-z in asp like you can in delphi.

Currently I use a script like this:

For iCol = 1 To 26
If iCol = 1 Then
sCol = "A"
ElseIf iCol = 2 Then
sCol = "B"
ElseIf iCol = 3 Then
sCol = "C"
.
.
.

.
ElseIf iCol = 26 Then
sCol = "Z"
End If

Statements

Next

Any ideas or more efficient alternatives appreciated.

Cheers LazyTrucker.

sure:
for i=65 to 95 'i dont the ascii code for Z
response.write chr(i)&"<br>"
next

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

also if you'd rahter be lazy instead of looking up asci codes :

alphaset = array("a","b","c","d",.... etc)

for each letter in alphaset
whatever
next

Cheers for the posts using Ascii run loop from 65 to 90.

Or:

For iCol = 1 To 26
sCol = Chr((icol - 1) + Asc("A"))
statements
Next

And just because this horse hasn't been ridden entirely into the ground:

Option Explicit
Dim i
For i = Asc("A") To Asc("Z")
WScript.Echo i & ")" & Chr(i)
Next

(He means Response.Write instead of WScript.Echo )

Yeah. I sometimes forget which forum I'm in. What he said.
