Microsoft® JScript™ toArray Method | Language Reference Version 3

See Also Applies To

##### Description

> Converts a VBArray to a standard JScript array.

##### Syntax

> safeArray.toArray( )

> The safeArray argument is a VBArray object.

##### Remarks

> The conversion translates the multidimensional VBArray into a single dimensional JScript array. Each successive dimension is appended to the end of the previous one. For example, a VBArray with three dimensions and three elements in each dimension is converted into a JScript array as follows:

> Suppose the VBArray contains: (1, 2, 3), (4, 5, 6), (7, 8, 9). After translation, the JScript array contains: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

> There is currently no way to convert a JScript array into a VBArray.

> The following example consists of three parts. The first part is VBScript code to create a Visual Basic safe array. The second part is JScript code that converts the VB safe array to a JScript array. Both of these parts go into the <HEAD> section of an HTML page. The third part is the JScript code that goes in the <BODY> section to run the other two parts.
