variable in a string


Recommended Posts

$array = winlist ("title")

Do

$counter = $counter + 1

iniwrite ( "handles.ini", 0, "number", $array[0][0])

iniwrite ( "handles.ini", 1, "key, $array[$counter][1])

Until $counter = $array[0][0]

it's about iniwrite:

for "key" I need to put in a variable, how do I put a variable in the middle of a string?

$string = "text stuff" & $variable & "some more text stuff"

Or, in some cases also very useful, use the following:

Opt("ExpandVarStrings", 1)
$test = "hello"
msgbox(0,"test","The test variable contains $test$ and in this way you don't need to break up the string!")

The disadvantage of this is that it is easier to experience runtime errors because the variables will not be checked before compiling. The advantage of this for me was that this made it very easy for people without programming skills to translate my strings into languages I don't speak...

Breaking strings like "Adding a value " & $test & "in the middle." is more elegant and less prone to errors; you should use that unless the ExpandVarStrings has explicit advantages like it did for me.
