So I want to store four values <DOMAIN> <IP> <PORT> <RESOURCE> and place them into an array. However, I want all four of those values to have a single index in the array, where i can call each of the values individually from said index. I will be adding many of these "four value" entries in the main array.

Sort of like: Dim demo_Value As String = myArray.Index(0).Item(3)

Is this possible? I feel like this would work similarly to a Python dictionary but I'm not sure.

I think what you're referring to here in terms of an "Array inside an array" is a 2 dimensional array. Just try googling Array dimensions and you'll find Microsoft's learning page on it for VB.

If it were me though I would just create an class object with those 4 attributes and create a collection of those objects. the you can access them exactly as you need to and it would be far easier to read.

Hope this helps!

^the correct answer
but if you're not implementing logic on the data itself, then a simple struct will suffice over a full class

yah good point - struct will also work.

Thank you both for the help! I figured there was a fix but I was having trouble locating the solution. Cheers 😎
