Looping Logic Part 1 : For...Next Statements
 [Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4]

     When you want to loop through an array or something else, the For loop is often the easiest way to do this. The syntax for the For loop is:

 For CounterVar = FromCount to EndCount
     'what you want to do
 Next
And now for an example:

 For i = 1 to 5
Response.Write("i=" & i & "<br>")
Next
Result:
i=1
i=2
i=3
i=4
i=5

Here is another example looping through an array and printing out it's contents, element by element.

 myArr = Array("apples","oranges","grapes","peaches","watermelon") For i = 0 to 4
Response.Write("myArr(" & i & ") = " & myArr(i) & "<br>")
Next
Result:
myArr(0) = apples
myArr(1) = oranges
myArr(2) = grapes
myArr(3) = peaches
myArr(4) = watermelon

Remember that arrays in ASP start with 0.
