VB.NET Checking array values 2

[WebGuyToo]

Hello, I'm trying to determine if an array has a value in it and come up with something that works but is there a better way? Any help would be great. Thanks WebGuyToo

Here is what I have: my array is a string array

Dim LineIn As String
Dim arrArgs() As String

LineIn = FileReader.ReadLine 'read line by line
arrArgs = Split(LineIn, "|")

******* here is the code
If CType(arrArgs(6), Boolean).TrueString = "" Then
strSpecialtyEffDates = arrArgs(6)
Else
strSpecialtyEffDates = ""
End If

You can use array.indexof(arrArgs, ValueToFind) if you know the value.

or you can iterate through the array if you are looking for some calculated value:

dim s as string
for each s in arrArgs
  if s = MyCalculation then
    'do something
    exit for
  end if
next

You should also check that you have at least 7 elements in the array with the code you are supplied otherwise it will cause an exception when you attempt to address the 7th element (index 6)
