Saturday, September 23, 2006 by Hilbillyoct19 | Discussion: DesktopX
I am trying to make a widget that has 3 or more edit boxxes that I want to save the info from. I am useing object.persiststorage but I want it to store it as an array. Say "album(artest(song))" but I don't know if or how to acomplish this task. If anyone could help please do. And then how could I recall them by using list boxxes. Thanks alot for your help.

Saving arrays not so easy, Persist storage basically will only store strings. Have a look at the VBScript Join() command. You can join an array into a single string with the elements divided by a delimeter like "|". So a(0) = "hi" and a(1) = "Skarn": a_str = Join(a,"|") would give a_str = "hi|Skarn". Then you can save that to persist storage. To get the string back to an array, use the Split() command, a = Split(a_str,"|"). Sorry there are no carriage returns. Blame Stardock Central.
