Gimme a hash !

[Jenda]

How do you say HASH in VB?

I need an object that would allow something like

Obj("foo") = "Hello world"
If not isEmpty(Obj("foo")) then MsgBox obj("foo")




The index will always be a string, the value will be either number or a string (I don't mind if the number gets converted to a string.)

I need the Obj("foo") = "something"

to work correctly no matter whether the Obj("foo") was set to anything previously and I need the var = Obj("foo")

to return
either Empty or "", but again NOT to bomb out when the Obj("foo") was not set.

Thanks, Jenda

P.S.: I tried the "Collection" class. It's less than useless.

If I understand your post correctly, you're looking for the Dictionary object in the Scripting Runtime. You could probably find some classes that do similar things:

Great. Yes this was exactly what I was looking for. :-)

It's hard to find the right object in those myriads. And its outright impossible to find anything in MSDN.

Thanks a lot :-)
