Today I am once again plunged into despair by VBScript. If you create a dictionary object, billed as VBscript’s ‘equivalent to perl’s hashes’ then try to *READ* a value with a non-existent key, then the key is INSERTED into the hash. What rot. I recall a similar problem in reverse whereby you could not write to a non-existent key. I think that might have been collections. One day I might look into it and make a good strong case for why VBScript is WRONG on this count, but suffice it to get it off my chest today.
