I thought you could just pass any data type to the local storage... Have you tried saving and reloading an array?

From memory it just stores text, so you could loop through the array and build a text string to store with separators.

You can then read it back in, by parsing the string. It may make sense to prefix the text string with the number of items to make the loop easier to build.

e.g.
5|Red|Blue|Green|Red|Blue

Why the number? UBound() should do the trick, shouldn't it?


Dim myVar, myArray
myVar = Object.LocalStorage("arraystring")
myArray = Split(myVar, "|")

For i = 0 to UBound(myArray)
Script.Msgbox myArray(i)
Next

Thanks Martin and Thomassen, both are very good ideas I probably would have come up with what Martin suggested, and thankyou for the actual script example thomassen, was just wanting to make use of any already built in method for saving arrays.

Will try these out shortly cheers
