Is there a VB function that returns the number of elements in an array?

Greets all,

I've been puttering around with VB for a while now and have gotten down many of the basics, but one thing I often stumble over is arrays.

Right now, I have a MUSHclient variable whose contents are the exits in the room I'm in.

So the variable "exits" will have the contents "north south in up".

One of the subroutines I have splits these into an array like so:

pitexits = split(world.getvariable ("exits"))

What I'd like to know is if there's a function that tells me how many elements in the array. So if the contents are "north sout in up" I'd want it to tell me that my array has 4 elements. Can anyone point me in the direction of the function I need?

Well, didn't take long for me to get one method of doing this:

ubound(arrayname)+1

Anyone know of another way to accomplish this?

lbound (array) is the lower bound
ubound (array) is the upper bound

So, cycling between lbound (array) and ubound (array) is the correct way of working through it.

LBound(array) is sorta redundant. If your array is a single dimension, the lower bound is always zero.

Well.. Technically it can be 0 or 1 in true VB, depending on which you tell it to use. I think you can set this in VBScript as well, but I could be wrong.
