How can I specify the 'name' of each array element?

[JGKWORK]

Hi, can any1 show me how to do the vbscript equivelant of this Javascript:

var postcodereferral = new Object()

postcodereferral"AL5 3" = "S"
postcodereferral"AL5 4" = "S"
postcodereferral"AL9 6" = "S"

or just a way that I can specify the 'name' of each array element.

Many thanks.

is it possible to make a twodimensiol array or something like this?

I thought there might be an easier way, I have never used multi dimensional arrays before. Thanks anyway.

What I'm doing at the moment is creating an array with 10 elements, but only referencing 5 of them (numbers 5-10) because those are the numbers I passing in to the page. But this is cheating and I want to find the correct way!

Ta.

You need to use Scripting.Dictionary object and should work.

Set d = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary&quot
Set c = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary&quot
d.Add "AL5 2","s"
d.Add "AL5 3",Array("100","test","another value&quot
c.Add "name","george"
d.Add "AL5 4",c
you can access

d("AL5 3&quot it's the Array("100","test","another value&quot
d("AL5 2&quot it's "s"
d("AL5 4&quot it's c object
d("AL5 3&quot(0) should be "100" and so on
d("AL5 4&quot("name&quot it's "george"

Hi, thanks for the help, unfortunately i keep geting the " d does not support this property or method. Here is what i have written:

<%
set d = CreateObject(&quot;Scripting.Dictionary&quot

d.Add &quot;1&quot;,&quot;No 6: Generators <br> next line&quot;
d.Add &quot;2&quot;,&quot;No 7: Lighting Sets <br> next line&quot;
d.Add &quot;3&quot;,&quot;No 8: Piling <br> next line&quot;

d(&quot;1&quot

%>

thanks.
