Removing duplicates is easier with the .Item method rather than messing with .Exists. Just call:

myDict.Item(“keyname”) = “value”

If the keyname does not exist, it will be added, otherwise the value will be updated.

Hi All,

I have used dictionary object to remove duplicates in an array. I ll paste the code here. I hope it helps.

here, I have 2 arrays, TC() and Status()

TC contains test case IDs and Status contains their respective status. Of course, a TC ID can be repeated multiple time having multiple statuses like “Test Passed” or “Test Failed”.

My objective was to create a file that has the final status. If all the statuses for a test case is “Test passed”, it passes. Else, it is failed.

The following function converts the array to a dictionary object and removes the duplicated and also consolidates the status holding only the final status.

Thus, it is ready to be pasted to an excel file and sent to the manager.

Public Function converToDictionary( TC, Status)
Dim dict, j, k
k = Ubound(TC)
msgbox k
Set dict = CreateObject(“Scripting.Dictionary”)
For j = 0 to k
If dict.Exists(TC(j)) then
If dict(TC(j)) = “Test Passed” then
dict.Remove(TC(j))
dict.add TC(j), Status(j)
End If
Else
dict.add TC(j), Status(j)
End If
‘strMsg = strMsg & TC(j)& ” : “& dict.Item(TC(j)) & vbcr
Next
Set converToDictionary = dict
End Function

Please ignore my above comment. Analyzed a little bit and found out that arrays can be used for sharing data between Actions.

Instead of using ProgID as “Scripting.Dictionary”, use ProgID as “System.Components.ArrayList”.

This will work only if you have .Net Framework installed on your comp.

I dont think you can get similar functionality (in terms of sharing values between action) using arrays.

@Scott: Agreed. In fact while working on arrays this looks cleaner, just a matter of habit.
