[thelist] writing to existing array with VBScript

[Joel D Canfield]

Beautiful. Did some quick reading at MSDN, and from now on the dictionary
object is my friend.

Thanks for the direct answer re VBS arrays; it makes the dictionary object
seem even more desirable.

Side Note: I hate VBS Arrays.

Joel....

You need to re-dim the array on the fly to accept more data, or
pre-dimension the array prior to use. In VBS array's are static and can not
be added to on the fly without re-dimensioning them.

Here are three solutions:

* ReDim the Array by one prior to adding data to it.

* Use a Dictionary Object instead

* Check out the Vector COM Object available here:

My recommendation is to screw the Array and use the Dictionary Object.
