sized strings in vbs

explanation

Im calling a method of a COM object that takes a sized string as a parameter and fills it with the adapternames on the computer.

VB Code:

'dim sized string
Dim AdapterNames as String * 1000
Dim AdapterList as String 
'call the method to fill the string
vpacket.GetAdapterNames(AdapterNames)
AdapterList=Split(AdapterNames,vbNullChar)

This works fine and I get a Array of Strings with the adapter names.

But, Im not sure how to go about doing the same thing in vbs
heres what i was trying.

VB Code:

Dim AdapterNames
set vpacket=createobject("vbPcap.vbPacket")
AdapterNames=string(1000," ")
vpacket.GetAdapterNames(AdapterNames)

The AdapterNames doesnt get filled with the data like in vb.
Actually it doesnt get changed at all.
Am i trying something that cant be done in vbs?
Can someone point me in the right direction here.

thanks

VBScript only has one data type...Variant.

If you just want a string 1000 characters long you can use the Space(1000) function.

I'm not sure that it will help though!

If you just want the first 1,000 why not just use Left(YourStuff, 1000)?
