Assign Dynamic Variables

[icarrion]

I would like to be able to dynamically assign a variable name like so:

array1 = StringSplit("Var1 Value"," ")

So that "Var1" is a variable name that contains the data "Value". So that I can do the following:

If $var1 = "value" Then

blah

EndIf

Is this at all possible? I know I can do the below instead but it makes the code ugly IMO.

array1 = StringSplit("Var1 Value"," ")

If $array1[1] = "value" Then

blah

EndIf

Any suggestions?

Yes. Use the function Assign(). I'm sure it is in the Beta helpfile but i don't know about the release version. Assign() in the helpfile can also link you to other functions that things like designating variables from strings.

Edit: Execute may also be a good function to look up.

What about assign? (Damn, I'm too late )

Or you could put your code into an own function, so your script isn't bloated.

At this point and time pretty much everything that is in beta is in the latest release.
