Dim arrPaco(2)

arrPaco(0) = "Paco's"

arrPaco(1) = " "

arrPaco(2) = "Drivers"

Response.Write arrPaco(0) & arrPaco(1) & arrPaco(2)

%>

The result would be: Paco's Drivers

Now you may be wondering, Why did he dimension his array as 2 when there are three parts to it. Well, arrays are ZERO based so even though there are three parts, it actually counts the first as zero, so instead of it counting 1, 2, 3, it counts 0, 1, 2.

Now let's go a little further and Split a string into an array.

<%

Dim strPaco, arrPaco

strPaco = "Learn about arrays at Paco's"

arrPaco = Split(strPaco," ")

For i = 0 to UBound(arrPaco)

Response.Write arrPaco(i) & "<br>"

Next

%>

This would write:

Learn
about
arrays
at
Paco's

Here's basically what happened.

Split() took the string and cut it up every where it found a blank space. This gave us each individual word. For i = 0 is starting a loop and setting i to zero which is the lowest number in an array. Now to UBound(arrPaco) is telling the loop how many times to loop. UBound simply means UPPER BOUND or the highest number in the array. In this case it said start at 0 and loop to 4 (this gives us 5 remember arrays are ZERO based. The next line:

arrPaco(i) What is the i there for? remember we told this loop i = 0. Now why is the an ampersand and a break tag?

Well, the & is used to concatenate (glue together) the break tag and the array so it will write the array and then move down a line when it performs it' next action. The word NEXT tells it to do it all over again with the next word in our array.

And there it is, a very basic, simply spoken set of array examples.

To get a grasp of the split function look here.
