[RESOLVED] Count Elements in an array

hi, would like to ask whether there is a command or a function to get the number of elements in an array?
For example i have a data in an array which I will split. So is there a command in VB to check how many elements are there in an array? or to do this will need to loop and add the number of loops?
Please check code below:

Code:

---

Sub xxx()

Dim i As Integer

Dim split_str() As String

For i = 0 To UBound(split_str)
x = x + 1 ' to get the number of data in an array
Next

End Sub
'is there a command to count the number of elements
 without doing the loop?

---

any ideas is greatly appreciated. thanks.

Directly specifying the command UBound(split_str) produces the number of elements.

Try the below code

Dim a() As String

For i = 1 To 10
ReDim a(i) As String
a(1) = "a"
Next
MsgBox UBound(a)

The result would be 10 since there are ten elements in the array "a"....

You can't loop through an undeclared array. Just like AVIS said, you can access this directly using ubound, but you will have to know the lower bound of your array to get an accurate count.

Code:

---

Sub xxx()

Dim i As Integer

Dim split_str() As String

For i = 0 To UBound(split_str) <<ERROR
x = x + 1 ' to get the number of data in an array
Next

---

Code:

---

Sub xxx()

Dim i As Integer

Dim split_str() As String

split_str = Split("Some String", " ")

'We know split returns a zero based array, so we can use this...
x = Ubound(split_str) + 1

thanks :)
