When is > not >

I'm using a peice of code:

if intDNSServer > ubound(arrDNSSServers) then

When I echo out the values, they are both 0 (zero). Fine.

However, when I run this code, the "if" condition is found to be true when it clearly isn't.

If I change the "ubound(arrDNSServers)" code for "0" (zero), the condition is false, correctly.

Anyone know why this is happening?

An uninitialized arred may return -1 as UBound ...

Hope This Helps, PH.

The array is initialised, and I can echo out the value as zero. Most odd...

I guess
[tt] wscript.echo vartype(intDNSServer) & vbcrlf & vartype(arrDNSServers)[/tt]
will give you enough clue.

OK. I have:

inDNSServer = 2
arrDNSServers = 8204

What does this mean?

A quick Google served only to confuse me further. 8204 means I have a collection of variants in the array?? There's only one entry in the array - declared as a Zero...

 

[tsuji]

2 means vbInteger, hence, intDNSServer is an integer all right.
8204=vbArray+vbVariant=8192+12, hence, it is an array of variant.

So there would be no oddity there. ubound() should give you 0 for a single component array you mentioned you have.

I would say, the problem is somewhere else.

Err, well it would appear that the script required a weekend break. I was about to post the entire code and thought I would check it. When I ran it again it seems to be OK. The lab machines I was running it from were rebooted over the weekend, so maybe that was a factor somehow.

C'est la vie

Thanks for the pointers anyhow - always learning from you guys.
