i have multiple objects that i need to be in a string, i don't know much at all about vbscript but this is the type of thing i'm trying to achieve..

if computer = UCASE("comp1") AND ("comp2") then
do something...
elseif computer =UCASE("comp3") AND ("comp4") then
do something...
endif

is that the correct way i would do it, just simply using an AND?? i've looked round the net but couldn't find anything that helped.

To check upper case you must check the ascii value of it. I.e checking the ascii value and if it is in between 32 and some number then it will be in upper case. This must be done to all the characters then only the string can be converted to upper case.

Javascript has "toUpperCase ()" and "toLowerCase ()" methods for strings. They convert entire strings, not just single characters. A germane point here is that when you are provided references, you should attempt to use them. If they turn out to be junk, then you look back here, or elsewhere. This is how the forum is supposed to work: help, not provision of solutions in their entirety.

This code is showing Tove
So to use the array one can use dim nameofarray(number of array)

(Toggle Plain Text)

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>

<script type="text/vbscript">
dim names(2)
names(0)="Tove"
names(1)="Jani"
names(2)="Stale"

document.write(names(0))
</script>

</body>
</html>

I used that reference before i came here anyway, but people seem to be missing the point, i'm not posting about the UCASE string function i'm posting about using AND in my if statement.

i'm asking if using AND works??

computer = objNet.ComputerName

if computer = "computer1" AND "computer2" Then
do something...
elseif computer = "computer3" AND "computer4" Then
do something else...
end if

so basically, when its executed, it will find the computer name, and if its computer1 or 2 then it will do something... or if the computer name is 3 or 4 it will do something else... i just dont know if and is the correct way to do it???

This shows ToveJani

So you can concatenate a string using &

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>

<script type="text/vbscript">
dim names(2)
names(0)="Tove"
names(1)="Jani"
names(2)=names(0) & names(1)

document.write(names(2))
</script>

</body>
</html>
