The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

VB Script: Loop through code until array is empty

Asked by baldwin_it in VB Script, Miscellaneous Programming

Tags:

The code below is fantastic for my use for files in one location. However, is there a way to utilize an array name origPathArray with, say these items in it:
C:\PDF Copy Test\Orig\
C:\PDF Copy Test\Path1\
C:\PDF Copy Test\Path2\
C:\PDF Copy Test\Path3\
and another array named destPathArray with thsi kind of data in it:
B:\PDF Copy Test\Orig\
B:\PDF Copy Test\Path1\
B:\PDF Copy Test\Path2\
B:\PDF Copy Test\Path3\

How can I implement this so that I can have this script I made work for multiple folders!

*Something like a FOR EACH ITEM IN destPathArray...
strDestinationPath = destPathArray[Value]
origFolder = origPathArray[Value]

'put code here from below

Just so you know, I am a complete noob at arrays with vb. Also if you have another solution without using arrays, I am all ears.Start Free Trial
