LSP Member Equivalent in VBA?
« on: October 23, 2007, 12:24:03 PM »
Is there an equivalent to LSPs MEMBER function in VBA?  I thought I saw something (either a built-in function or a separate function) but I can't remember where or what it's called.  I also have this funny feeling that I've posted this before (either here or another NG).  :|

Thanks.

You can replicate functionality, depending on particular use / need, using collections or dictionaries.

Try this one

Code: [Select]
Option Explicit

Function IsMember(source As Variant, itm As Variant) As Boolean
    Dim idx As Variant

        On Error GoTo Err_Control

        For Each idx In source
            If (idx <> itm) Then
                IsMember = False
                Else
                IsMember = True
                Exit For
            End If
        Next

        Exit Function
Err_Control:
IsMember = False
End Function

If this code isn't going to reside in a dll AND/Or directly exchange with LISP I don't understand why you use variants when explicit typing should prevail. Am I missing something?

In other words, as I understood the question, "What is the equivalent VB technique to mimic LISP's member function?", not "How do I pass a list to VB and have it perform a member type query?".

Could be me, surviving on crumbs of sleep.

No worries my friend. Like I said, there's a good chance I'm misunderstanding the intent so perhaps it's best to wait and see if the original poster clarifies.
