I was wondering if anyone could show me or explain how to do the following

Say I have 3 names [there ARE hundreds, but lets just say 3]

Preview.Networks.Video.Trailers
Tool.Assisted
TVICaisa

using

vbs

AddonName = Replace(Replace(Replace(Replace(Replace(Replace(UpdateRepo("AddonName"),"'","''")," ","."),"(","."),")","."),"[","."),"]",".")
ANLine = AddonName
ServiceList = Split(ANLine , ".")
TheFirst = ServiceList(0)
TheSecond = ServiceList(1)
WScript.Echo TheFirst
WScript.Echo TheSecond
WScript.Echo AddonName

and of course it works on the 1st 2 names but dies on the 3rd because TheSecond ServiceList() is null.

how can I get around this?

Solution 1

to answer my own question.

I simply needed to

Scount = UBound(ServiceList) + 1
WScript.Echo Scount
If Scount = 1 Then
WScript.Echo ServiceList(0)
ElseIf Scount = 2 Then
WScript.Echo ServiceList(0)
WScript.Echo ServiceList(1)
End If

and bingo.
