Concatenate a Func Name

[litlmike]

Question:

Possible to Concatenate a Function's Name? Meaning, can I append a variable at the end of a Function? Note: Trying to avoid If Statements as a work-around

Example:

User Selects options A, B, or C. Then, the according Function is run:

Example_A ()

Example_B ()

Example_C ()

So then, can I make the Function look like?:

; Below is the Function Name Example with its trailing option of A, B, or C.
Example_ & $option ()

Thanks In Advance.

Hi,

sorry, but for what? Why not the easy way?

Ha! I was thinking this was the easy way...

In short, I would have to write another function for the If statements. Which, is not the end of the world, but in this instance it was easier to concatenate, than write another If Func.

If I have to write the If statements I can, but out of curiousity is it possible to do this?

$func = "B"
Call("Example" & $func)

Func ExampleA()
    MsgBox(64, "", "A")
EndFunc

Func ExampleB()
    MsgBox(64, "", "B")
EndFunc

Func ExampleC()
    MsgBox(64, "", "C")
EndFunc

Hi,

$input = InputBox("A,B,C", "")

Call("Example_" & $input)

Func Example_A()
    MsgBox(0,"","A")
EndFunc
Func Example_B()
    MsgBox(0,"","B")
EndFunc
Func Example_C()
    MsgBox(0,"","C")
EndFunc

Hi,

$input = InputBox("A,B,C", "")

Call("Example_" & $input)

Func Example_A()
    MsgBox(0,"","A")
EndFunc
Func Example_B()
    MsgBox(0,"","B")
EndFunc
Func Example_C()
    MsgBox(0,"","C")
EndFunc

Ahhh, yes I see what you mean....Thanks for the feedback.

HI,

no problem.

And I thought, it would be easier to do it like this:

Example(InputBox("A,B,C", ""))

Func Example($input)
    Switch $input
        Case "A"
            MsgBox(0, "Func: " & $input, "A")
        Case "B"
            MsgBox(0, "Func: " & $input, "B")
        Case "C"
            MsgBox(0, "Func: " & $input, "C")
    EndSwitch
EndFunc   ;==>Example
