Question

I have an number of arrays:

mIOSconfig = Array("  ! *** SRMS ***  ", "int *** PORT ***")
mCATOSconfig = Array("  ! *** SRMS ***  ", "set port name *** DESC *** *** PORT ***   ")

and I want to call these using external user input.

So assuming the user inputs “IOS” I want to use the mIOSconfig in future code.

So let’s supose the user’s input is stored in variable x.

 x="IOS"
    usedarray = "m" + x + "config"

somevarible = somefunction(usedarray)

msgbox (somevarible)

But this doesn’t work as the usedarray variable is a string and this is passed to the function not the array. How can I used the created usedarray varible to pass the array created at the start to the function?

Cheers

As a workaround, you could use a collection to do what you want. Create a Collection object and .Add the arrays to the collection using “IOS”, “CATOS”, etc. as keys to the collection.

As @Justin pointed out in his comment, what you are specifically trying to do is not supported by VBA.
