All Years In Between

Hey all! I am currently using javascript / asp in my online application. I have data which dynamically presents years such as 1999-2003. I need to see if there is a script that can "explode" these years to present 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003. I cannot for the life of me figure it out.

Thanks in advance!

 

In ASP you can do something like:

' set variables
dim yearRange
dim startYear
dim endYear
dim yearsList

' get the year range as a string
yearRange = "1999-2003"

' split the string into two values
myArray = split(yearRange,"-")

' get the starting and ending years from the two array indexes
startYear = myArray(0)
endYear = myArray(1)

' use a for next loop to iterate through the
' begin and ending years with years between
for x = startYear to endYear
if len(yearsList) = 0 then
yearsList = x
else
yearsList = yearsList & ", " & x
end if
next

' output to screen
response.write(yearsList)

 

Thank you so much! Works like a champ!

 

Glad to help. That's one way. I'm sure there are others. If anyone has any other methods it would be cool to see them.

 

That's really the only way I'd suggest doing it
