Microsoft® Visual Basic® Scripting Edition Dictionary Object | Language Reference Version 2

See Also Properties Methods

##### Description

> Object that stores data key, item pairs.

##### Syntax

> Scripting.Dictionary

##### Remarks

> A Dictionary object is the equivalent of a PERL associative array. Items, which can be any form of data, are stored in the array. Each item is associated with a unique key. The key is used to retrieve an individual item and is usually a integer or a string, but can be anything except an array.

> The following code illustrates how to create a Dictionary object:

> >     Dim d                   'Create a variable
> >     Set d = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
> >     d.Add "a", "Athens"     'Add some keys and items
> >     d.Add "b", "Belgrade"
> >     d.Add "c", "Cairo"
> >     ...
