Array Index / Item position ?

[midlothian]

Hello
Is there a way to get the index of an item in an array? For instance,
if I have:

MyArray = Array("NY","CT","TX","NM")

....can I see what position CT is in the array?
Thanks

THe only way to get an index from an array is to loop through the array
until you match the desired value. YOu can use a collection object
which uses keys collObj.Add(value, key).

.... but even with a collection you can't find the index of an item without
looping through the collection.

If it were important I'd hack something up along these lines (it would
need some more work):

Dim MyArray As Variant
Dim tempString As String
MyArray = Array("NY", "CT", "TX", "NM")
tempString = "/" & Join(MyArray, "/") & "/"
Debug.Print UBound(Split(left(tempString, InStr(tempString, "/CT/")),
"/")) - 1

but ... why would it be important?

How did you get these values into this variant array? Perhaps
something can be done at the source.
If not, just loop using a For Each loop. On small arrays like this the
ugly n/2 performance is negligible.
