Has anyone here created code for a nice Hash table or Dictionary they would be able to share? You know the key - value type of object.
I did for PlayBasic ages ago, I presume the values are the same...
May not be exactly what you are looking for -
Dim key$(250)

Thanks Ian - I'll keep that - will come in useful. However I'm meaning a key-value pair in a VB dictionary or hash table, or associated array. like:
key, value
"Name", "Andy"
"Age", "10000"
"Key 5", "Active"
The key's and values can be anything, as that is not important, but you can look up the "key" eg "Name" to get the value "Andy" rather than using array element numbers. Here's an example (http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/pradeep.tiwari/PradeepTiwariHashtable11072006072247AM/PradeepTiwariHashtable.aspx?ArticleID=2548f7ef-c9f2-4259-969e-713d8b4d297f) of what I mean.
Here's a VB Basic simple example. Looks very simple to convert to GLB. I'd do it myself but Im away from home today.
Hope it helps...
