Varibale trouble

[superboi]

I think this is somewhat of a tricky request. I have a script with a few variables.

$b - this is a constant

$a - This is part of a loop, and ends at $b

$x - this is the one giving me trouble

I need $x = 1 when $b - $a = 9. I also need $x to increase by $a's step.

I hope this can be done, because as of right now, the only variable I have to change before using the script is $b. I didn't really need $x before because $b was well... constant, and it was actually 12 for a while, but now its 15, and I don't know what it'll be in the future.

Actually I think I may have thought of a better solution to this problem.

If there is some way to send("$a"), and have a numerical value come out on the other end, then my problem is solved.

I'm not sure what your trying to do since you haven't posted any code however it sounds like your having problems with basic math. You should start by learning how to use for next loops.

; example
for $i = 0 to 10 step 2
 consolewrite($i&@CRLF) 
next

If you just want to send the value of $a, that can be done by removing the quotes from around it

Run('notepad.exe')
WinWait('[CLASS:Notepad]')
For $a = 1 to 20
    ControlSend('[CLASS:Notepad]', '', 'Edit1', $a)
    ControlSend('[CLASS:Notepad]', '', 'Edit1', '{ENTER}')
Next

It wasn't a problem with my math. It was a problem of making a variable appear when something occurred. I knew when it occurred, I just didn't know how to let the computer know.

Anyway I found out how to send what I wanted to.

At first I was thinking of having 20 different "if" clauses:

If $a = 1 then send("1")

If $a = 2 then send("2")

If $a = 3 then send("3")...

Apparently though you can say:

Send("{&$a&}")

and it'll send the numerical value for your variable. This way I don't need to click the link, and I can just change the URL.

To send {1}

Send("{" & $a)
Send("}")

To send 1

Send($a)

To send {NUMPAD1}

Send("{NUMPAD" & $a & "}")
