A VBScript equivalent of PHP’s array_slice

Function array_slice(mAry,offset,level)

    array_slice = false

    If Not isArray(mAry) Then Exit Function
    If Not isNumeric(offset) Then Exit Function
    If Not isNumeric(level) Then level = uBound(mAry)

    Dim s,e,arynum
    arynum = uBound(mAry)

    If offset >= 0 Then _
        s = offset _
    Else _
        s = arynum + offset + 1

    If level >= 0 Then _
        e = s + level _
    Else _
        e = arynum + level

    If e > arynum Then e = arynum

    Dim i,counter
    counter = 0
    ReDim tmp_ar(e-s)
    For i = s to e
        tmp_ar(counter) = mAry(i)
        counter = counter +1
    Next

    array_slice = tmp_ar

End Function
