URl squirreled away for future use. Very good response. The question sounded like elementary homework which several of us have seen many times over. -- Todd Vargo (Post questions to group only.

In the couple Delphi groups I lurk there is superb help when needed, but if you tendered a post like the OP, you would be shown the door. Most of these groups have talented and helpful people that are willing to put a shoulder to it when it appears the other guy is bearing some of the load too. It's really hard to come up against something you just can't find anything about out in the wild. > -- > Todd Vargo > > (Post questions to group only. Remove "z" to email personal messages)

I had 20 minutes to spare so I >knocked out this little example I agree with Mayayana (who is absolutely not a troll) and mbyerley. It's a good thing that you have the spare time to write the scripts for those who ask for that. Soon you will realize that in this ng many people just want someone else to solve their problems, do not have any idea of vbscript and do not want to learn it. When you will run out of time you will answer like Mayayana often does: "let's see what you have done so far and where you are stuck". Your script is very interesting. I don'know much about the dictionary object. I would have done it with an array in a more complex manner, reinventing the wheel.

I was actually just looking for a starting point - as to the best possible way to perform the task required. Thanks to all who put me on the right path, which I had started down with the post from here http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript&tid=6bcfe32c-434a-4aaf-b1d9-2997e64a5ed5&cat=en_US_8e0bf598-2567-4b0b-8241-d4942bda87dc&lang=en&cr=US&sloc=en-us&m=1&p=1 which I found over the weekend after I had posted. It was not my intention to have someone write the script for me, but thanks to those who have provided this as well. |
