Doubts about "For"

[GordonFreeman]

I normally use:

For $Count = 1 to 100

msgbox(0, "Count", $Count)

but i need use with variables:

For $Variable1 to 100

I wonder if there is some method

this is to reduce code size, and for a better understanding

Thanks for attention!

You have 4 "values" in a For statement. The variable to store the current value of the counter, the start value, the end value and - optional - the step size.

I assume you want to use $Variable1 as the start value. So you should use:

For $Count = $Variable1 to 100

GordonFreeman,

You need the full syntax:

For <variable> = <start> To <stop> [Step <stepval>]

All you would save with your suggestion is 3 spaces and a start value - given AutoIt's size when compiled is that so much extra? And in many cases you would not want $Variable1 to increase in value as the loop progresses.

$Variable1 = "Hi"

$Variable2 = "My Name is..."

$Variable3 = "Gordon"

For $Count = $Variable1 to 3

msgbox( 0, "", $Count)

Next

I want make it. Sorry if I did something wrong or explained. My natural language is not English.

But return numbers. Help mee

Gordon, for that you would need to create an array:

Local $var[3]
   $var[0] = "Hi"
   $var[1] = "My Name is..."
   $var[2] = "Gordon"

   For $element in $var
       msgbox(0, "", $element)
   Next

GordonFreeman,

To do that you need an array.

Global $aVariable[3] = ["Hi", "My Name is...", "Gordon"]

For $i = 0 To 2
    MsgBox( 0, "", $aVariable[$i])
Next

I suggest reading the Arrays tutorial in the Wiki if you are not very used to using them.

JLogan3o13,

Your turn!

thanks for all. =D

[AdamUL]

If he could to use variables and use Execute.

$Variable1 = "Hi"
$Variable2 = "My Name is..."
$Variable3 = "Gordon"
For $Count = 1 to 3
MsgBox( 0, "", Execute("$Variable" & $Count))
Next

@Melba

Yours is cleaner, though

[GordonFreeman]

Ok. but now I have another doubt.

What if I want to store values

$Variable[5]
For $i = 0 to 4
    $Variable[$i] = IniRead( "TEST.INI", "Test", "TestSec" & $i, "Error")
Next

i try it but not work. my script close.

work will that way:

$Variable1 = IniRead( "TEST.INI", "Test", "TestSec1, "Error")
$Variable2 = IniRead( "TEST.INI", "Test", "TestSec2, "Error")
$Variable3 = IniRead( "TEST.INI", "Test", "TestSec3, "Error")
$Variable4 = IniRead( "TEST.INI", "Test", "TestSec4, "Error")
$Variable5 = IniRead( "TEST.INI", "Test", "TestSec5, "Error")

However shorter

I think I can see the error but I'm traveling here to find out how fix

[JohnOne]

I can't see immediately why that code would not work.

show your inifile

[GordonFreeman]

[Test]

TestSec1=1

TestSec2=1

TestSec3=1

TestSec4=1

TestSec5=1

would thus be

In fact, "Sec" would be earlier but not in any way no influence the outcome

File name: TESTE.ini

[BrewManNH]

Change the line to this:

$Variable[$i] = IniRead( "TEST.INI", "Test", "TestSec" & $i + 1, "Error")

Untested, but you don't have a TestSec0 so this at least aligns your ini file with your code.

really, i forgot

but he not returned to value of others. Just blank values

Why not use IniReadSection? But this code (as suggested by BrewManNH) works for me.

#include <Array.au3>

Local $aArray[5]
For $i = 0 to 4
    $aArray[$i] = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "TEST.ini", "Test", "TestSec" & $i + 1, "Error")
Next
_ArrayDisplay($aArray)

[GordonFreeman]

I managed to "IniReadSection" using the example of autoit. thanks

[GordonFreeman]

Now that I've learned to use the "For" my source was 610 to 140 lines. And i love autoit =D

[guinness]

Wow, what a dramatic decrease.
