Special concatenation

[Makkhdyn]

Hi,

I have a problem, I need to do a special concatenation, I need to create an array like this:

$var= "text"

dim $ & $var & [3]

I need an array named text => dim $text[3] but I don't know how to do that... Can you help me ?

PS: Sorry for my english, I'm french.

Hm, do you meen like dim $text[3] ?

Then you can set $text[3] = "something" if i remember correct.

Its been a while since i coded autoit so im not 100% sure its correct

Hope it helps anyway.

I want to create an array whose name is a variable

In my exemple the value was text but it can be anything

I am no pro with AutoIt, but I really don't think it is possible to create variable names during runtime. From the manual:

"Each variable has a name (again, similar to a mailbox) and must start with the $ character and may only contain letters, numbers and the underscore _ character"

No mention of other variables, so I don't think you can do it.

Ah, now i understand what you mean. You want to create a dynamic-name variable, right?

I guess its not possible, because its not in most languages. Only script language i know which supports dynamic variable names is mIRCs scripting.

Im not sure here either.

You can, or alteast you could, do it in perl, but thats not the point. The closest thing in AutoIt is Eval(), but that will not do what you want it to do, so for now you are SOL.

[Devion]

It would, indeed, be nice with dynamic variables sometimes, but its more often confusing then useful. At least thats what i remember from my time with mIRC-scripting.

Sorry we couldnt help out here

Actually its really simple

#include <array.au3>
$var= "text"
Assign ( $var, _ArrayCreate ( "", "", "" ) )

edit: the max size of an array declared like this is 27.

Thanks but my problem is i need the name of the array to add elements:

$sections = IniReadSectionNames ("config.ini")

For $i = 1 To $sections[0]
    $sectioni = IniReadSection("config.ini", $sections[$i])
    $title=$sections[$i]
      Assign ( $sections[$i], _ArrayCreate ("") )
    For $j = 1 To $sectioni[0][0]
           $z = $sectioni[$j][0]
        _ArrayAdd( $Eval($sections[$i]), $z);here!!
    Next
Next

Have you considered a 3-D array? I think this might be what you are asking:

$sections = IniReadSectionNames ("config.ini")

For $i = 1 To $sections[0]
    $section[$i] = IniReadSection("config.ini", $sections[$i])
    $title=$sections[$i]
      Assign ( $sections[$i], _ArrayCreate ("") )
    For $j = 1 To $section[$i][0][0]
           $z = $section[$i][$j][0]
        _ArrayAdd( $Eval($sections[$i]), $z);here!!
    Next
Next

That should have the same effect as what you were asking. But maybe I don't understand the question after all.
