function DicTest(keyword) { var a, d; d = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.Dictionary"); d.Add("a", "Athens"); d.Add("b", "Belgrade"); d.Add("c", "Cairo"); a = d.Item(keyword); return(a); }

Visual Basic Script	Copy Code
Function ItemDemo Dim d ' Create some variables. Set d = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary") d.Add "a", "Athens" ' Add some keys and items. d.Add "b", "Belgrade" d.Add "c", "Cairo" ItemDemo = d.Item("c") ' Get the item. End Function
