Trying to define multiple versions of one variable from input box

[sraykens]

I am trying to Dim variables that have different numbers of iterations each time I run a script.  However, I don't think I can use a variable within a Dim statement.  Is there another way to do this?

What I think I want to do is this:

Dim n, xsum, xavg

xsum=0

xavg=0

m=InputBox("How many runs should be averaged?")    'For example, m = 3

n=m-1 'Convert number of runs to base zero; for example, n = 2

Dim x(n) 

For i= 0 to n

x(i)=i

Next   'For example, x(0) = 0, x(1) = 1, x(2) = 2

For i=0 to n

xsum=xsum+x(i)

Next   'For example, the completed xsum = 3

xavg=xsum/m  'For example, xavg = 1

Hi sraykens,

ReDim x(n) should work.  I always Dim my variables as scalars and use ReDim to turn them into arrays when needed-- it works out better for several reasons.
