Description
Object that stores data key, item pairs.
Object Model
Remarks
A Dictionary object is the equivalent of a PERL associative array. Items can be any form of data, and are stored in the array. Each item is associated with a unique key. The key is used to retrieve an individual item and is usually an integer or a string, but can be anything except an array.
Example
The following code illustrates how to create a Dictionary object:
| Using the Dictionary Object (JScript) | Copy Code |
|---|---|
var y = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.Dictionary"); y.add ("a", "test"); if (y.Exists("a")) document.write("true"); ... | |
| Using the Dictionary Object (Visual Basic) | Copy Code |
|---|---|
Dim d ' Create a variable. Set d = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary") d.Add "a", "Athens" ' Add some keys and items. d.Add "b", "Belgrade" d.Add "c", "Cairo" ... | |
