shortening my code? - thought I had it but obviously not

[ianpaisley]

Hello again!

I'm trying to shorten this code:

If firstofsequence(1) = secondofsequence(1) Then
Picture1.Print firstofsequence(1) & ",";
End If
If firstofsequence(1) = secondofsequence(2) Then
Picture1.Print firstofsequence(1) & ",";
End If
If firstofsequence(1) = secondofsequence(3) Then
Picture1.Print firstofsequence(1) & ",";
End If
If firstofsequence(1) = secondofsequence(4) Then
Picture1.Print firstofsequence(1) & ",";
End If

I thought this would do it, but my program gives a different result:

For x = secondofsequence(1) To secondofsequence(4)
If firstofsequence(1) = x Then
Picture1.Print firstofsequence(1) & ",";
End If
Next

Could you please tell me if the above is right or wrong?

Thanks for any help!

easy enought to check
add a list box for testing and do a visual of what
you are sending

For x = secondofsequence(1) To secondofsequence(4)

list1.additem firstofsequence(1) & " " & x

If firstofsequence(1) = x Then
Picture1.Print firstofsequence(1) & ",";
End If
Next

I think this is what you want:

[Code]

For x = 1 To 4
If firstofsequence(1) = secondofSequence(x) Then
Picture1.Print firstofsequence(1) & ",";
End If
Next
