name of a variable

[borutc]

Hello. Okay this might be a stupid question but here it goes.

I've got 2 strings, lets say "x" and "1". Can i somehow combine these 2 strings into a variable called $x1?

Thank you

borutc,

Your variables need to begin with a $ and if they are strings, you use the concatenation operator & to join them:

$x = "Hello "
$1 = "world!"

$x1 = $x & $1

MsgBox(0, "Joined", $x1)

All clear?

Okay maybe i didnt ask right But its like this:

lets say we have

$something = "x"

$somethingelse = "1"

i would like to make a variable caled $x1, which is combined with these 2 strings. is it even possible?

thank you

borutc,

Please explain what you are trying to do.

You can create variables using strings like that, but there is nearly always an better way to do things.

Okay. I have some numbers stored in variables called $x1, $x2, etc. I want to make a loop from 1 to 10. In the loop there is a function that accepts a parameter. So the first time i want it to accept the variable $x1, the 2nd time $x2, etc. So i tought i could combine the number of the loop with "x" to tell it which paramter to accpet. Dont know if this makes any sense

Thank you

borutc,

It does - and the answer is an array.

Store your parameter variables in the array as $aArray[1], $aArray[2], etc and then just use the loop counter to address the one you want on each pass.

borutc,

When you reply please use the "Add Reply" button at the top and bottom of the page rather then the "Reply" button in the post itself. That way you do not get the contents of the previous post quoted in your reply and the whole thread becomes easier to read.

And a slightly belated welcome to the AutoIt forum. Glad we could help.
