So there are 3 different ways of saying almost exactly the same thing
Code: Select all
Set object = Nothing
variable = Null
variable = Empty
Then there is another problem that when you declare a global variable and redeclare it locally WSH will complain the variable is already used globally. But it shouldn't, a global variable that is redeclared locally should be local making the global variable inaccessible.
I noticed some always append local variables with "my"... That may be not a bad idea...
Code: Select all
Dim variable : variable = something
Function myFunc( myVariable )
'My code here
End Function
Code: Select all
' Abbrevations for VBScript : long : short
'
' myObject global scope : glbMyObject : MyObject
' myObject local scope : locMyObject : lMyObject
'
' myObject STRING : strMyObject : sMyObject
' myObject INTEGER : intMyObject : iMyObject
' myObject BOOLEAN : blnMyObject : bMyObject
' myObject ARRAY : arrMyObject : aMyObject
' myObject COLLECTION : colMyObject : cMyObject
' myObject OBJECT : objMyObject : oMyObject
' myObject CLASS : clsMyObject : MyObject
I haven't listed all types as I haven't used them yet... But so far, What you guys think of this ?

Heres a function IsBlank() for dealing with null/empty variables

Some naming suggestions here:

An argument could be made for using the b prefix for Byte and f (flag) for boolean

Why does the IsBlank() function at ss64.com/vb/syntax-null.html have all of the Exit Functions? They are not needed with they way the function is written.

^ Good point, I've stripped them out now.
