Topic awaiting preservation: Merging variable names :DD (Page 1 of 1)

Hi everybody!

I have a simple question (I hope)...

I want to know how to create dynamic variable names in VBScript to be able to make an iteration... Something like eval in JavaScript...

Example:
*********

For bla = 1 to 10

a[bla] = 1

Next
*********
(Now I want a[bla] to become the variables a1, a2, a3 and so on and everyone should have value 1... (later on it may be some other value than 1 of course )


Hope you understand the question...

Thanks in advance

Sounds like you should be using an array in your script...

a1, a2, a3 looks a lot like a(1), a(2), a(3) to me.

The only time I can see you needing seperate variables is if you were to pass these values over to a script through a POST form or GET string.

Of course, there is the equivalent of the eval statement in VBScript anyway...

for i = 1 to 10
execute("a" & i & " = 1")
next

Not sure how this works with Dim if you have OptionExplicit set, but it should get you started.
