VBScript Statements: Explanation of the Erase statement

The VBScript Erase statement is used to erase all the values of an array, but keep the array size and dimensions intact.

 This is useful when you re-use an array and you want to ensure the values inside an array have truely been cleared and no old data is left in the array.

For example, the following would print a blank line:

Redim Bob(10)
Bob(1) = “Rickky Bobby”
Erase Bob
Wscript.echo Bob(1)
