Variable Variable Names?

[spacehawk]

Is is possible to have a dimensioned variable name like Var(1), Var(2), ... so that you can go through a loop<br>&lt;%<br>For I= 1 to 5<br><br>Response.Write Var(I)<br><br>Next<br>%&gt;<br><br>This format is not working.

well i couldnt get u clearly..but if its just for printing values of i then u can write<br><br>&lt;%<br>For I= 1 to 5%&gt;<br><br>&lt;%=I%&gt;<br><br>&lt;%Next<br>%&gt;<br><br><br>

I don't want to print the numbers.&nbsp;&nbsp;Let's say Var(1)=&quot;James&quot;, Var(2)=&quot;Mike&quot;, Var(3)=&quot;Bob&quot;, Var(4)=&quot;Billy&quot;, and Var(5)=&quot;Fred&quot;.<br><br>I want to print the values of Var(1) through Var(5). <br><br>&lt;%<br>For count= 1 to 5<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Response.Write Var(count)<br>Next<br>%&gt;<br><br>This does not work because it does not return the value of count for each variable.<br>&nbsp;I don't think it can be done&nbsp;&nbsp;with a loop,&nbsp;&nbsp;but if it could, it would save me a lot of time and make the program much more flexible.

Dear hawk,<br><br>Are you referring to an 'Array' ?<br><br>-pete

Just define the array before you try to use it.&nbsp;&nbsp;For example, if you expect to have 5 values, at the top of the routine or page,<br><br>Dim var(4)<br><br>arrays are zero-based. <p>nick bulka<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>

Thanks,<br><br>I tried this and it still didn't work for my situation.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have the array variable in a request.form as in request.form(var(i)).<br><br>I can <br><br>response.write(i)<br><br>with i=1 and the output is 1 but when I <br><br>response.write(request.form(var(i))) <br><br>it will not return the value of the input.&nbsp;&nbsp;However I can hard code the numbers and <br><br>response.write(request.form(var(1))) <br><br>does return the value of the input.<br><br>Sorry for all the trouble.&nbsp;&nbsp;I am still learning what it can and cannot do.

um, I would think just doing<br><br>Response.Write Var(j)<br><br>or whatever the loop value is. <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href=

Try this..<br><br><br>&lt;%For Each x In Request.Form %&gt;<br><br>&lt;%=x%&gt; and &lt;%request.form(x)%&gt;<br><br>&lt;%Next&nbsp;&nbsp;%&gt;<br>
