## Example:

    Sub ExampleExit

    Dim sReturn As String

    Dim sListArray(10) As String

    Dim siStep As Single

        For siStep = 0 To 10 ' Fill array with test data

            sListArray(siStep) = chr$(siStep + 65)

            MsgBox sListArray(siStep)

        Next siStep

        sReturn = LinSearch(sListArray(), "B")

        Print sReturn

    End Sub

    Function LinSearch( sList(), sItem As String ) As Integer

    Dim iCount As Integer

    REM Linsearch searches a TextArray:sList() for a TextEntry:

    REM Return value is the index of the entry or 0 (Null)

        For iCount=1 To Ubound( sList() )

            If sList( iCount ) = sItem Then

                Exit for REM sItem found

            End If

        Next iCount

        If iCount = Ubound( sList() ) Then iCount = 0

        LinSearch = iCount

    End Function
