array lbound ubound

I have question,

I known how to check myArr(x)
Lbound(myArr)and Uboubd(myArr), result: 0, 2 "mean 0 To 2"


but I want to check array(y) mean that "0 To 1", any method, please

please!

Code:

---

................x......y
ReDim myArr(0 To 2, 0 To 1)

myArr(0, 0) = "00"
myArr(0, 1) = "01"
myArr(1, 0) = "10"
myArr(1, 1) = "11"
myArr(2, 0) = "20"
myArr(2, 1) = "21"

Provide the dimension you want to get its UBound, e.g. Debug.Print UBound(myArr, 2)

Read more about UBound and LBound

Thanks, but I Not undetstand how many dimension's (myArr)

Code:

---

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim myArrA(0 To 99) As String
End Sub

I want To result this "myArrA" total 1 Dimension.

---

Code:

---

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim myArrB(0 To 99, 0 To 88, 0 To 77) As String
End Sub

I want To result this "myArrB" total 3 Dimension.

---

etc...

please!

Read this article, there you will find some code to determine the number of dimensions in an array, adapt it to meet your needs.

thanks, I was changed. but I Not understand "Visual Basic for Applications arrays can have up to 60000"
For 1 To 60000, Is it need? If normal around <20 dimensions, Set 99 Is it enough?

any advice please!

Code:

---


Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim myArr(0 To 99, 0 To 2, 0 To 6) As String


Debug.Print FindNumberOfDimensions(myArr), Time


End Sub



Public Function FindNumberOfDimensions(ByRef Xarray() As String, _
                                      Optional ByVal aroundDimension As Long = 9) As Long




      'Dimensions Xarray as an array.
      'Dim Xarray(1 To 10, 5 To 20, 256 To 300, 8, -5 To 0)

      'Sets up the error handler.
      On Error GoTo FinalDimension

      'Visual Basic for Applications arrays can have up to 60000
      'dimensions; this allows for that.
      For DimNum = 1 To aroundDimension

        'It is necessary to do something with the LBound to force it
        'to generate an error.
        ErrorCheck = LBound(Xarray, DimNum)

      Next DimNum



'FindNumberOfDimensions = DimNum

Exit Function

'The error routine.
FinalDimension:
MsgBox "The array has " & DimNum - 1 & " dimensions"

'return result:
FindNumberOfDimensions = DimNum - 1


End Function

The code in the article uses the max value of dimensions that can array has in order to ensure it will work for any given array.

If you changed 60000 to 60 or whatever, it will not different at all, the For...Next loop will iterate until it reach the last dimension, then an error occur with this line LBound(Xarray, DimNum) and exit the loop.

After looking to your adapted code, your function will return 0 always, try this one

Code:

---

Public Function FindNumberOfDimensions(ByRef Xarray() As String) As Long
    Dim DimNum As Long
    Dim ErrorCheck As Long
   
    On Error GoTo FinalDimension
   
    For DimNum = 1 To 60000
        ErrorCheck = LBound(Xarray, DimNum)
    Next DimNum

FinalDimension:
    FindNumberOfDimensions = DimNum - 1

End Function

---

Edit:
Oops, i didn't recognized that you have edited your post and changed the code, anyway there is no need at all for the second param aroundDimension because For...Next will never reach to 60000, it will exited once DimNum = last dimension + 1

thanks, this is first known use "error_handle" to get result,
can you tell me more any other example, used "error_handle" to get result?

It is rare, but i remember that i used error handler to check if a file exist (that was before i learn more professional way to do that)

Code:

---

Public Function IsFileExist(ByVal strFileName As String) As Boolean
    Dim dblFileLen As Double

    On Error GoTo FileNotExist
    dblFileLen = FileLen(strFileName)
    IsFileExist = True ' no error occurs, so the file exists.
    Exit Function
FileNotExist:
    IsFileExist = False' an error occurs, so the file not exist.
End Function

Also in some cases if you want to know if the program is running inside the VB IDE or it is running as EXE

Code:

---

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    On Error GoTo RunInsideIDE
    Debug.Print 0 / 0 ' This line will removed by the compiler when generating the exe.
    MsgBox "The program run as EXE"
    Exit Sub
RunInsideIDE:
    MsgBox "The program run inside the IDE"
End Sub
