VBScript » Statements » Set

Syntax:
Set

The Set statement assigns the object reference to a variable or property. (i.e., create an instance of a specific object)

The keyword New is used in conjunction with Set to create an instance of a Class or RegExp.

The keyword Nothing is used to unassign the object reference from the variable or property.

Examples

Code:
<%
Dim Anyvariable
Set Anyvariable =
Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
%>

<%
Dim SearchPattern
Set SearchPattern = New RegExp
%>

<%
Set Anyvariable = Nothing
Set SearchPattern = Nothing
%>
