Suggestion: interpret $variable in string

[Aktonius]

In php(example) there is a functionality which can interpret variables directly in strings.

For example

$var = "awesome"
$var2 = "simple"
ConsoleWrite("Autoit is $var yet $var2 @lf")
would return "Autoit is awesome yet simple"
compared to
ConsoleWrite("Autoit is "&$var&" yet "&$var2&@lf)

If there is something you really want to see in AutoIt then open a ticket in Trac for a Feature Request.

What you suggest won't be implemented I fear.

Opt('ExpandVarStrings', 1)

$var = "awesome"
$var2 = "simple"

ConsoleWrite("Autoit is $var$ yet $var2$ @lf@")

Most languages can do something like #{$variableName} or {$variableName}. It'd be nice.

Really nice find. I had actually forgotten about this years ago. Edited March 7, 2013 by BinaryBrother

I'm getting old ... wait ... I am old

I've never used this option and I don't know the language as well as Jon does or Jos or Melba or ....

BTW this is generally called variable interpolation (strictly within the context of a programming language).
