FUNCTION:  LBound( )
Implemented in version 1.0
 
LBound(ArrayName, Dimension)
 
The LBound function returns the lower limit for the elements in an array.
 
By default, in the current versions of VBScript, the LBound function always returns a zero.
 
There is one mandatory argument.
 
ArrayName
 
The ArrayName argument is the name of the array. Do not include the parenthesis with the array name.
 
Code:
<% Dim catarray(3) %>
<% catarray(0) = "Mountain lion" %>
<% catarray(1) = "Bobcat" %>
<% catarray(2) = "Jaguar" %>
<% =LBound(catarray) %>
 
Output:
0
 
There is one optional argument.
 
Dimension
 
The optional Dimension argument is used to identify which index you are determining the lower bounds for in a multi-dimensional array.
 
Code:
<% Dim fisharray(2,3) %>
<% fisharray(0,0) = "Neon tetra" %>
<% fisharray(0,1) = "Angle fish" %>
<% fisharray(0,2) = "Discus" %>
<% fisharray(1,0) = "Golden dojo" %>
<% fisharray(1,1) = "Clown loach" %>
<% fisharray(1,2) = "Betta" %>
<% =LBound(fisharray, 2) %>
 
Output:
0
