Good day folks.
Within an ASP I'm working on I need to check whether an array is empty or
not.
Code:
Dim somearray()
'other code: array might have been populated, maybe not
if somearray() <> "" Then 'this is the line that hangs debugging using VID
'code if array is populated
else
'code if array is empty
end if
My problem is coming up when I debug(Using VID) I get this error:
An exception of type 'Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Subscript out of
range' was not handled.
But when I actually launch the page I don't get any errors. Of course if I
put in On Error Resume Next, and I run in debug mode I don't get any errors
through VID and I still obviously I don't get any errors launching the page.
Thanks for any insight from this ASP Newbie 3 15824
David,
You need to make sure you are not going beyond the array bounds, the error
you are getting is because you are not doing so.
Use the UBound() function that returns the last index within the array's
dimension. So, if the array contains 20 elements, the UBound function will
return 19.
lastIndex = UBound(someArra y, 1)
Look up the VB help for more info on the method.

VBScript's handling of array bounds checking leaves some to be desired. I
get inconsistent results with IsArray(somearr ay) depending on the state of
the array - GetRows on an empty recordset is a big culprit. What I've done
is write a function (I call it IsArrayEx, and it handles two dimensional
arrays which are what I work with most of the time) that works this way:
Function IsArrayEx(inArr ay, intUpperBound)
'--- this doesn't address whether or not there's data, only if the array
can be used
IsArrayEx = false
on error resume next
dim tmpVar
tmpVar = inArray(0, ubound(inArray, intUpperBound))
if err.number = 0 then
'--- the array is useable...
IsArrayEx = true
end if
End Function

This has never failed me:
'open the recordset, then:
dim ar
if not rs.eof then ar = rs.GetRows
rs.close: set rs=nothing
if isarray(ar) then
'process data
else
'handle no-records event
end if

I have a function which should convey two things upon its completion.
First, the return value of the function, consisting of some text. Second,
it should convey an "error status", which, could be either a simple
"success", or a number of levels of failure.
(For the record, it's a logon script indicating success/failure, but I'll
probably use this elsewhere.)
The way I see it, I have a couple options, maybe more:

not." ...

Hi everyone,
I am reading and displaying data rows from my database where the first
column contains the Status checkbox. I like to enable my users to change
the status of individual rows by checking and unchecking the checkbox
column. I like to update the status in the database for the column where
the status was changed.
This is what I'm doing so far

Many compilers check printf for errors, lcc-win32 too. But there are
other functions that would be worth to check, specially memset.
Memset is used mainly to clear a memory zone, receiving a pointer to
the start, the value (most of the time zero) and the size of the
memory array to clear.
Problems appear when the size given is not the size of the object
given as its first argument. For instance
void fn(void)

In a C program I am required to enter three numbers (integers) e.g. 256
7 5 on execution of the program.
C:\> 256 7 5
There should be spaces between the three numbers and on pressing
"enter", further processing is done. The problem requires me to check
whether three numbers have actually been entered in the input line and
to warn if less or more numbers have been entered.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
