Dictionary Object

Object that stores data key, item pairs.

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.

The following code illustrates how to create a Dictionary object:

Object Name: Scripting.Dictionary

Dim d   ' Create a variable.
Set d = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
