Function Reference

Assign

Assigns a variable by name with the data.

Assign ( "varname", "data" [, flag] )

Parameters

varname The name of the variable you wish to assign. Cannot be an array element.
data The data you wish to assign to the variable.
flag [optional] controls the way that variables are assigned (add required options together):
0 = (default) Create variable if required
1 = Force creation in local scope
2 = Force creation in global scope
4 = Fail if variable does not already exist

Return Value

Success: Returns 1.
Failure: Returns 0 if unable to create/assign the variable.

Remarks

If there is a need to use Assign() to create/write to a variable, then in most situations, Eval() should be used to read the variable and IsDeclared() should be used to check that the variable exists.
