hi

i have the following session variable defined :

Session("MemberId")

this contains a list of comma delimited Member_id's ..e.g

1,2,3,4,5,6,7

i want to count how many Id's there are. I was hoping this could be acheived with something like.

Session("MemberId").count or Session("MemberId").contents.count

but it doesn`t work. Do i have to write a function to recurse through each item and count ?

thanks

dave

Split the string on the commer, then get the ubound of the array:

   dim myArray,totalLen
   MyArray = Split(Session("MemberId"), ",", -1, 1)
   totalLen = ubound(myArray)
   response.write totalLen

If you build the session var in a loop, incriment a counter as the string is created would be another way. Unless of course you intend to split the array anyway therefore the above method would be the one.

NOTE: The array starts at 0 so the result is 6 even though there are seven elements

In addition to that, add it by one always to get the correct result, which is indirectly said in Matt's post;). Cheers!
