  VBScript Variables VBScript variablesare used to hold values or expressions. A variable can have a short name, like x, or a more descriptive name, like carname. Rules for VBScript variable names: -> Must begin with a letter -> Cannot contain a period (.) -> Cannot exceed 255 characters In VBScript, all variables are of type variant, that can store different types of data.

  VBScript Arrays An arrayvariable is used to store multiple values in a single variable. Creating Arrays in VB Scripting Dim names(2) Adding values into an Array : names(0)="Tove" names(1)="Jani" names(2)="Stale" Reading Values from an Array : mother=names(0) Creating Two Dimensional Array Dim names(2,2) Adding values into an Array : names(0,0)="Tove" names(0,1)="Jani" names(1,0)="Stale" names(1,0)="Stale" Reading Values from an Array : mother=names(0,0)

  VB - OptionExplicit Option Explicit Dim carname carname=some value This statement forces you to declare all your variables with the dim If you misspell for example the "carname" variable to "carnime", the script will automatically create a new variable called "carnime". To prevent your script from doing this, you can use the Option Explicit statement.

  VB - Subprocedure A Sub procedure: •is a series of statements, enclosed by the Sub and End Sub statements •can perform actions, but does not return a value •can take arguments Example : Sub mysub(argument1,argument2) some statements End Sub Syntax for Calling Sub: Mysub argument

  VB – ConditionalStatements Conditional statements are used to perform different actions for different decisions. In VBScript we have four conditional statements: •If statement - executes a set of code when a condition is true •If...Then...Else statement - select one of two sets of lines to execute •If...Then...ElseIf statement - select one of many sets of lines to execute •Select Case statement - select one of many sets of lines to execute
• 10.
  VB – ConditionalStatements Syntax If Statement : If i = 10 Then some statements ElseIf i = 11 Then some statements ElseIf i = 12 Then some statements Else some statements End If Syntax Select Statement: Select Case d Case 1 some statements Case 2 some statements Case else some statements End Select

  VB – LoopingStatements Looping statements are used to run the same block of code a specified number of times. In VBScript we have four looping statements: •For...Next statement - runs code a specified number of times •For Each...Next statement - runs code for each item in a collection or each element of an array •Do...Loop statement - loops while or until a condition is true •While...Wend statement - Do not use it - use the Do...Loop statement instead
• 12.
  VB – LoopingStatements Syntax for Loop: For i=2 To 10 some code Next Exit a For...Next You can exit a For...Next statement with the Exit For keyword. For i=1 To 10 If i=5 Then some code Exit For End If Next
