| Greets all,
I've been puttering around with VB for a while now and have gotten down many of the basics, but one thing I often stumble over is arrays.
Right now, I have a MUSHclient variable whose contents are the exits in the room I'm in.
So the variable "exits" will have the contents "north south in up".
One of the subroutines I have splits these into an array like so:
pitexits = split(world.getvariable ("exits"))
What I'd like to know is if there's a function that tells me how many elements in the array. So if the contents are "north sout in up" I'd want it to tell me that my array has 4 elements. Can anyone point me in the direction of the function I need? |

| Well, didn't take long for me to get one method of doing this:
ubound(arrayname)+1
Anyone know of another way to accomplish this? |

| lbound (array) is the lower bound
ubound (array) is the upper bound
So, cycling between lbound (array) and ubound (array) is the correct way of working through it. |

| | LBound(array) is sorta redundant. If your array is a single dimension, the lower bound is always zero. | | Top |

| | Well.. Technically it can be 0 or 1 in true VB, depending on which you tell it to use. I think you can set this in VBScript as well, but I could be wrong. | | Top |
