2 dimensional array from a delimited string

Hi guys

I need to create a 2 dimensional array from a string with 2 kinds of delimiters

sample string:

Code:

1=1|2=2|3=3|4=4

in this case, the delimiteers are = and |
so my array would look something like this:

Code:

-------------
|  1  |  1  |
-------------
|  2  |  2  |
-------------
|  3  |  3  |
-------------
|  4  |  4  |
-------------

I have trid the following code, but ofcourse it failed me:

ASP Code:

Original - ASP Code
str = "1=1\|2=2\|3=3\|4=4" arr = split(str, "\|") arr2 = split(arr, "=") Response.Write isArray(arr) & "<br />" Response.Write isArray(arr2) & "<br />"

str = "1=1|2=2|3=3|4=4"
arr = split(str, "|")
arr2 = split(arr, "=")
Response.Write isArray(arr) & "<br />"
Response.Write isArray(arr2) & "<br />"

If got the following error:

Code:

Microsoft VBScript runtime  error '800a000d'

Type mismatch: 'arr'

/asp/2darray.asp, line 4

Is the a built-in ASP function to achieve what I am after, or is this something that I will need to create a special finction in my cocde to achieve?

Any help is appreciated.

I Found a solution - might not be the best solution but it does work

Just in case anyone else has a similar problem, here is my solution:

ASP Code:

Original - ASP Code

<%
ReDim myArr(1,1)
str = "1=1|2=2|3=3|4=4|5=5|6=6"
arr = split(str, "|")
Response.Write isArray(arr) & "[" & uBound(arr) & "]<br />"
For i = 0 to ubound(arr)
    Response.Write arr(i)
    arr2 = split(arr(i), "=")
    Response.Write isArray(arr2) & "[" & arr2(0) & " | " & arr2(1) & "]<br />"
    Redim Preserve myArr(1,i)
    myArr(0,i) = arr2(0)
    myArr(1,i) = arr2(1)
Next
Response.Write isArray(myArr) & "<br />"
For i = 0 To uBound(arr)
    Response.Write myArr(0,i) & "+" & myArr(1,i) & "<br />"
Next
%>
