DIM structure help

PIPTOL,

The names you chose "Billybob", "Bubba", etc. really cracked me up. Laugh, I thought I'd die! :rotfl:

You're supposed to be British, but have you ever been to South Carolina? :wink:

No I haven't, but lets just say I've watched a lot of TV

huh? I always thought a hash was an array whose indices were identified by a string.

There's no native support for them in qb, but you can fake it.

Code:

dim indices (howevermanyyouneed) as string
dim values (howevermanyyouneed) as integer 'or single, etc.
dim shared curindex

sub sethash(index$, value)
  indices (curindex) = index$
  values (curindex) = value
  curindex = curindex + 1
end sub

function gethash (index$)
  for x = 0 to curindex
    if indices (x) = index$ then temp = values(x)
  next x
  gethash = temp
end function
