Retrieving a Var outside a Func

[reecedorward]

Is it possible to retrieve a Variable outside a Func... for example

Func test2f()
While 1
  Local $test2 = InputBox("Giggy Launcher v1.0", "Greys Anatomy" & @CR & @CR & "Enter the Episode Number", "Episode Number")
  If @error Then
   $exit = MsgBox(4, "Exit?", "Are you sure?")
   If $exit = 6 Then Exit
  EndIf
  If StringIsAlNum($test2) Then
   ExitLoop
  EndIf
WEnd
EndFunc   ;==>test2f
Local $goto = MsgBox(4, "Get Var", $test2)

How can I retrieve the variable from within the Function Loop cycle?

you've declared your $test2 variable as local, which means when the function ends, it is destroyed.

you can either declare the variable as global, so it keeps it's value, or if you are passing it from 1 function to another you can use the () behind your function name

Func test2f()
While 1
  Local $test2 = InputBox("Giggy Launcher v1.0", "Greys Anatomy" & @CR & @CR & "Enter the Episode Number", "Episode Number")
  If @error Then
   $exit = MsgBox(4, "Exit?", "Are you sure?")
   If $exit = 6 Then Exit
  EndIf
  If StringIsAlNum($test2) Then
   _getvar($test2)
  EndIf
WEnd
EndFunc   ;==>test2f
Func _getvar($test2)
Local $goto = MsgBox(4, "Get Var", $test2)
EndFunc

Ah thanks again kaotkbliss!

Works like a charm!

Declare variables outside of loops and look at ByRef for referencing a variable.
