I’m trying to assign a value to a series of variables inside a FOR

  • 0

I’m trying to assign a value to a series of variables inside a FOR EACH loop, but keep getting a “Type mismatch” error.

personOrder = "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15" 'order items displayed onscreen

personArray = split(personOrder, ",")

For each i in personArray
    imageArray(i) = objContentXML.selectSingleNode("/page/profile" & i & "/image").text
Next

Note: I’ve made the var personOrder a list because in the future items might change order.

I think there’s a problem with assigning array values in a FOR EACH loop. Annoyingly it works fine in a FOR loop, but I’m trying to future proof my code.

Apologies if this question is too stupid. I’m returning after 9 months of nappies and burping to the world of code (less nappies, more burping).

    On which statement do you get this error? I can execute the following code without any error messages:

    personOrder = "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15" 'order items displayed onscreen

personArray = split(personOrder, ",")

dim imageArray
redim imageArray(uBound(personArray) + 1)

For each i in personArray
    imageArray(i) = i
Next

    You must create an array first and declare the number of items you want to put in it (use redim to change the dimensions).

    I replaced your objectContentXML with a simple statement, for testing purposes.
