How to Make a Counter In VBScript
A VBScript counter is a numeric variable that tracks the number of iterations in a loop. A counter commonly starts with a value of 0 and increases by 1 at the beginning of each iteration. You can create a counter by declaring a variable in your VBScript code with the "Dim" keyword. You can use the counter in a "for" loop by setting an initial value, a constraint and a factor for the counter to change by each iteration.
