letter counting in a array

[Bert]

In the first part of the script, you will see where I make a array. The array is for each letter in the Alphabet. Is there a way to make the array in a loop, so I have fewer lines of code?

Make up your mind - do you want a loop or fewer lines of code :-)

Since weaponx beat me to the code that I was going to post - here is a loop:

Dim $l[27]
For $c = 65 To 90
    $l[$c - 64] = Chr($c)
Next

Edit: sure... post the loop too in an edit :-)

Sorry, I didn't want to make a new post.

[Bert]

that will do the trick nicely. thanks!

Oh it was just funny that I wrote a reply, then checked the thread via "Preview Post" only to find that you beat me to it... so I change my post to the loop and checked again only to find that you beat me to that too :-)

...but my loop was a bit different so I posted it and then decided to comment on your beating me again. :-)

I've never taken typing class, and only use 3 fingers on each hand to type. I have interns type for me.

I use the Columbus method of typing:
