Okay, not a rag on Wrox, because I can't find this code in O'Reilly, Premier, SAMS, QUE, IDG or Microsoft Press books. We're talking about vbscript,
vb.net, and vba.
It seems to me that the PRIMARY (maybe the ONLY) reason to use an array is to process requests to a MULTI-DIMENSIONAL array, and not to a one-dimensional array. As an example (used in almost every book), a two-dimensional array that stores names and corresponding phone numbers.
It seems to me that you might want to input a name and retrieve a phone number. Almost exclusively the topic is covered in this fashion, however: define one-dimensional arrays, how to create one-dimmensional arrays, how to search one-dimensional arrays, oh, by the way, you can make multi-dimensional arrays, how to make multi-dimensional arrays, end of chapter or section.
Why is there no coverage on how to search a multi dimensional array and retrieve the phone number for each person (for example)? I know you must be able to do this. And the user forums are no help.
