Default Extract segments of an array

Hi,

Am Fri, 5 Feb 2021 14:43:22 -0800 (PST) schrieb Tatsujin:

My array of strings is already sorted from A to Z:

mySort(1) = "apples"
mySort(2) = "apricot"
mySort(3) = "banana"
mySort(4) = "beans"
mySort(5) = "bread"
mySort(6) = "donuts"
'... etc, etc..
mySort(38) = "zuchini"

Is there an easy function that can copy any alphabetical segment of the array into a new array?


if you don't know where your searched character starts in the array you
can search the words beginnig with your expected character with Reg.Exp:

Set re = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp")
myString = Join(mySort, ", ")
'modify the first character as expected
ptrn = "b.[a-z]{1,}"

re.Pattern = ptrn
re.Global = True
re.ignoreCase = True
Set matches = re.Execute(myString)
For Each match In matches
ReDim Preserve myArray(n)
myArray(n) = match
n = n + 1
Next
