Adding to ASP arrays

[colinod]

I am trying to add a function to our site to add things to an array so i can recall them in a page and email them to another person.

I can set up the array but can figure out how to add a variable to the array wh n i click a button, the variable will always be a number.

I hope someone can help im sure i need to give more information, but not sure what is needed

Thanks

It's been a long time since I've done this but sounds like you may need to use a ReDim Preserve.

The easiest way I know of to add to an array in ASP is to keep the array in a long delimited string until you need to use it as an array. That way, you just convert it to an array at the last minute with a split() function like the following:

dim myArrayString, myArray
myArrayString = "term1,term2,term3"
myArrayString = myArrayString + ",term4"
myArray = split(myArrayString, ",")

let me know if this helps.

i know this but how can i run the code line

myArrayString = myArrayString + ",term4"

on the click of a button

ive now got this working, using a combination of javascript and asp.....

can anyone tell me if this is possible

i have an asp variable that contains variables that are delimeted with a comma

i.e 123,123,234,3454,56,67,89

these numbers relate to items in my database

can i do an sql query on the database or just select the items that relate from a general query

On the click of a button it would be easiest with javascript:

<button onClick="AddMyString('term4')">
...
<javascript>
function AddMyString(term)
{
myArrayString += term;
}
</javascript>

Something like that, my javascript usually needs quite a bit of tweaking to work, I don't really consider myself an expert, but something like this should work.
