In the example syntax below, how can I add each element to a new array instead of printing? I am unsure how to do such as I would not know the size of the array, since it could be 0 (no need to ever initialize the array) or it could be the Ubound
of the array it is iterating.
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Function TestIt()
Dim animalarray As Variant, xyz As Variant
animalarray = Array("Cat", "Cow", "Camel", "Dire Wolf", "Dog", "Coyote", "Rabbit", "Road runner", "Cougar")
For Each xyz In animalarray
If Left(CStr(xyz), 1) = "C" Then
Debug.Print CStr(xyz)
End If
Next
End Function
You can use Redim Preserve
:
Sub TestIt()
Dim animalArray(): animalArray = Array("Cat", "Cow", "Camel", "Dire Wolf", "Dog", "Coyote", "Rabbit", "Road runner", "Cougar")
Dim anotherArray(): anotherArray = Array("Lion", "Tiger", "Leopard")
Dim xyz As Variant
For Each xyz In animalArray
If Left(CStr(xyz), 1) = "C" Then
ReDim Preserve anotherArray(UBound(anotherArray) + 1)
anotherArray(UBound(anotherArray)) = xyz
End If
Next
For Each xyz In anotherArray
Debug.Print xyz
Next
End Sub
It's even simpler:
Function TestIt()
Dim animalarray As Variant
Dim newarray As Variant
Dim xyz As Variant
animalarray = Array("Cat", "Cow", "Camel", "Dire Wolf", "Dog", "Coyote", "Rabbit", "Road runner", "Cougar")
newarray = animalarray
For Each xyz In newarray
If Left(CStr(xyz), 1) = "C" Then
Debug.Print CStr(xyz)
End If
Next
End Function
