Arrays

In certain situations, it is convenient to set more than one value related to a single variable. To do so, users can create a variable that contains a series of values, an Array-type variable.

To explicitly declare a variable, use the Dim command. An array declaration uses parentheses containing its dimension. Example:

Dim A(10)

 

Users can set data to each one of the elements of an array by using an index starting at 0 (zero) and ending at the declared size (the number of elements of an array is always the number displayed inside parentheses plus one). Example:

A(0) = 256
A(1) = 324
A(2) = 100
...
A(10) = 55

 

Users can also create an array by using VBScript's Array(arglist) method. This method returns a Variant-type variable containing an array. Its values must be separated by commas. Example:

A = Array(10, 20, 30)
MsgBox A(0)
MsgBox A(1)
MsgBox A(2)
