Dynamic ASP Local Variables...

[@sh]

I'd like to create a series of variables created dynamically, example such
as this...

For i = 1 to 5
TheVariable & i = "blah"
Next

This would during the first loop create a variable called 'TheVariable1'
with a value of 'blah'. Is this possible as so far I'm getting syntax
errors?

Cheers!

Use an array!
Dim TheVariable[4]
For i = 1 to 5
TheVariable = "blah value #" & i
Next

Response.Write "For example, the third value is " & TheVariable[2]

(Arrays are zero-based in vbscript, so the first element is 0, second is 1,
and so on.)

That is so ridiculously obvious I'm blushing....sorry - I'm getting "haven't
developed for a while" syndrome, where functions/commands begin to creep
back into your mind, hehe

Many thanks!
