LBound<br />
Description Returns the smallest possible subscript <strong>for</strong> the indicated dimension of an array.<br />
Usage intVal = LBound(arrayname[, dimension])<br />
Arguments arrayname<br />
Name of the array variable; follows standard variable naming conventions.<br />
dimension<br />
Whole number (integer) indicating which dimension's lower bound is returned. Use 1 <strong>for</strong> the<br />
first dimension, 2 <strong>for</strong> the second, and so on. If dimension is omitted, 1 is assumed.<br />
Return An Integer representing the smallest subscript <strong>for</strong> an array, which in <strong>VBScript</strong> is always 0 since<br />
<strong>VBScript</strong> arrays are zero-based. Return value will be a Variant subtype Long..<br />
Remarks The LBound function is used with the UBound function to determine the size of an array. Use<br />
the UBound function to find the upper limit of an array dimension. The lower bound <strong>for</strong> any<br />
dimension is always 0 in <strong>VBScript</strong>. LBound will raise a runtime error if the array has not been<br />
initialized.<br />
See also Dim, ReDim, UBound<br />
Example Dim MyArray(3)<br />
MsgBox LBound(MyArray) ‘ Displays 0<br />
LCase<br />
Function Converts all alpha characters in a string to lowercase.<br />
Usage strVal = LCase(string)<br />
Arguments string<br />
Any valid string expression..<br />
Remarks If string contains Null, Null is returned. Only uppercase letters are converted to lowercase; all<br />
lowercase letters and non-letter characters remain unchanged.<br />
Return A String.<br />
See Also UCase<br />
Example The following example uses the LCase function to convert uppercase letters to lowercase:<br />
Dim MyString<br />
Dim LCaseString<br />
MyString = "VBSCript"<br />
LCaseString = LCase(MyString) ' LCaseString contains "vbscript".<br />
Left<br />
Description Returns a specified number of characters from the left side of a string<br />
Usage strVal = Left(string, length)<br />
Arguments string<br />
String expression from which the leftmost characters are returned.<br />
length<br />
Numeric expression indicating how many characters to return.<br />
Return A String.<br />
Remarks If string contains Null, Null is returned. If length = 0, a zero-length string("") is returned. If length is<br />
greater than or equal to the number of characters in string, the entire string is returned. To<br />
determine the number of characters in string, use the Len function.<br />

Example Dim myStr, extStr<br />
myStr = “UpAndDown”<br />
extStr = Left(myStr, 2) ‘Returns “Up”<br />
