RobK Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I am trying to pass a constant via an ini file but when it is used in my script it is used at a literal string. How do I evaluate the passed string at a constant to be evaluated at run time? Test.ini service=$ConstantVal Test.AU3 $LZService = IniRead("Test.ini", "Configuration", "service", "") msgbox (0, "debug", $LZService) The $LZService shows up as $ConstantVal when displayed in the msgbox. I really want the value of $ConstantVal to be displayed. How do I force the evaluation of the $LZService? I tried eval and that did not work. Advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted August 25, 2011 Moderators Share Posted August 25, 2011 RobK,You need to use Execute: $ConstantVal = 100 $LZService = Execute(IniRead("Test.ini", "Configuration", "service", "")) msgbox (0, "debug", $LZService)Although I wonder why you do not save the numeric value in the ini file in the first place.

RobK Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 Thanks for your input. I figured it out. I was including the $ as part of my constant in the ini file. If I store the constant name without the $ then use eval it does what I need.
