Iterate Arrays with For Each

The most common technique for iterating the contents of an array is to use a For Next loop and indicate the subscript for the array within the loop, like this:

<%
Dim strArray(3)

strArray(0) = "Paul"
strArray(1) = "John"
strArray(2) = "George"
strArray(3) = "Ringo"

Dim intCount
For intCount = LBound(strArray) To UBound(strArray)
   Response.Write strArray(intCount) & "<br>"
Next
%>

But another approach is to use a For Each loop. This technique doesn't require you to keep track on the subscript for each item, nor does it require you to interrogate the LBound and UBound on the array. This approach is shown below:

<%
Dim strArray(3)

strArray(0) = "Paul"
strArray(1) = "John"
strArray(2) = "George"
strArray(3) = "Ringo"

Dim strItem
For Each strItem in strArray
   Response.Write strItem & "<br>"
Next
%>
