General Question

[Erick de la Torre]

I'm learning VB, how can I declare and use arrays of variables.




Thanx

There is more than one way.

1st way - define top boundary

Dim vsMyStrings(5) as String

vsMyStrings(0) = "First String"
vsMyStrings(5) = "Last String"

2nd way - define index ranges

Dim vsMyStrings(5 to 9) as String
vsMyStrings(5) = "A string"
vsMyStrings(9) = "Another string"

Dim iArray(4) As Integer
iArray(0) = 1
iArray(1) = 2
iArray(2) = 3
iArray(3) = 4
iArray(4) = 5
'etc.

Thanx parksie

ReDim Preserve MyArray ..... way cool enhancement to vb5.

Also you might like to have a look at multi-dimension arrays

Dim MyArray(4,4).

For X = 0 to 4
   For Y = 0 to 4
      MyArray(X,Y) = whatever
   Next Y
Next x

Cool if you want to hold in memory something like a number of CDs with the tracks on each cd.

Hope that gives you some more pointers

There is an array tutorial which goes into some detail on this site.
