Multiply String?

[JonathanChan]

Hello,

I probably just dont' know the name of the function which is why i can't do what i want to do... but how do I make $var=j 10 times? (ie. $var=jjjjjjjjjj)... What my real purpose for asking is to add NULL characters to a file handler. I have to add the null characters based on filesize and it isn't 1 static amount of nulls...

Thanks,

Jonathan

If it's a number (j) then... $var *= Int($j)

For $iCC = 1 To 10
    $var &= 'String'
Next

is for efficient? I may need up to 500 null characters... seems like a lot of concating...

For $iCC = 1 To 500

$var &= 'j'

Next

i know the code... but isn't that a lot of repetitive code that could be done in 1 shot?

Well that take me 2-300 milisecond

$time = TimerInit()
$t = "0"
For $i = 0 To 50000
    $t &= "0"
Next
MsgBox(0,0,TimerDiff($time))

hmmm....autoit3 is must faster than autoit2 .... I remember dreading to make my autoit2 script any larger than 500 or so lines because autoit could only process like 20 lines per cycle or per second or something...
