Return values not assigned when using Call()

[mskenderian]

This is just an example. i am using Call() becuase i need to call a function from a variable, that is passed in from the user.

here is my code example:

Func test()
    Return "Some Value"
EndFunc

Local $sResults = test()
ConsoleWrite("Results: " & $sResults & @CRLF)

Local $sResults = Call(test())
ConsoleWrite("Results: " & $sResults & @CRLF)

Output:

Results: Some Value
Results: 0

 

Why I am not getting back any value from Call()

You are using call wrongly.  It should be

$res = Call("test")

If you had checked @error you would have seen that there was a problem...

Please do not edit the original post. For future readers the rest of the thread then does not make any sense

@water  He cannot edit anyway 

@mskenderian The problem is not (). If you want to call a function from a variable then use the variable :

...
$sFunc = "Test" ; coming from an input box or whatever
...
$res = call($sFunc)
