Help! My elite script doesn't work! =(

[East Coast Cracka]

Okay guys here's my chunk of code

$count = 0
$variable = "$sample" 
$sample = 1


While $count > 209; Do
    $sample = $variable + $count
    If $sample = 46346345
        Send("Wizzeh")
        $count = 700
    EndIf
    $sample = $variable - $count
    $count = $count + 1
WEnd

What I am trying to do is append the variable $count to the end of $variable to make a new variable called $sample. I am then comparing the variable $sample to a number. If the number is correct, I am making $count high enough to kick the loop and get out of the while. I am writing it in such a way (nested like this) so that I can have like 15 lines of code instead of writing 208 seperate if statements. Anyone have any ideas? Please let me know as this is kinda important to me ;0

Thank you all!

let's start with count is set to 0

then the loop only works if count is greater than 209

Wondering why it doesn't work.....

Whoops, that was actually a typo ;0

Thats not the problem though, the problem is i don't know how, or ever if you can, append the variable $count to the end of another variable?

If your variable is string and the count is a number, now you can append it to the string and other things.

use the & sign to append it.

Thank you!!

I now need to figure out how to do that, and i was just sitting here thinking i really should have 1 array instead of 208 variables. I am so smart... is there a slap head smiley face on this forum? LOL

The problem I can see with your code is that, as written and assuming there's no code missing, variable $sample is never going to pass your "If" test. Combining $variable with $count, whether cast as a string or a number, is never going to equal 46346345.

Perhaps you can help us understand a little more about what the final script is supposed to do, and then in return we can more efficiently help you get it there.

Yes, I'm a big fan of the split infinitive.

Well, what I am trying to accomplish is be able to have a loop that generates variables. I actually am using an array of strings now. So what I am trying to do is have a loop that generates the text "$sample[1]" then next itteration of the loop makes "$sample[2]". So what it is doing is generating a variable name. I hope that when the loop outputs the variable, it will be an array address that is checked. The reason it is doing this, is because I am taking 208 pixel samples and I am going to need to compare all of them to a single number. Since they are all being compared to the same thing, I was hoping to use a loop instead of a whole bunch of seperate if statements. I hope thats specific enough, let me know if thats not good enough.

(I love how active this forum is by the way, you guys rock.)

;Loop

For loop_counter = 0 to 207 ;Remember that arrays start from zero

  $Sample[loop_counter] = pixel_sample_value ;You can make this a function call to get the pixel sample value

Next

Is this the sort of thing you are trying to do?
