VB Forum / General 2 / July 2008Passing an array to a sub
I would like to pass an array to a sub and have the following code: Public Sub callMySub(inputData() as string) 'some lines of code End Sub From inside another sub I have... Dim theData() As String theData = Split(Text1.Text, vbCrLf) callMySub (theData()) I dont need to make any changes to the data in the array that is being passed. I just need to step thru the array looking for a particular string. I get an error message saying "array argument must be by reference" Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong. Thanks Charles W >I would like to pass an array to a sub and have the following code: > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong. Change the line callMySub (theData()) to: Either callMySub theData() or callMySub theData Or Call callMySub (theData()) or Call callMySub (theData) Just my $.02 but the name of the function (callMySub) is somewhat confusing. I would change it to something like MySub or something more descriptive of what it does to the string array. Thanks.
