Using variables in an input box - how?

[agmonyy]

Hello all,

I am a new AutoIt user and I wrote a script to auto-upload files to a website.

The script works perfectly, except for one thing:

if $filenumber >= 1 then $name[$i] = InputBox("File Upload", "Enter Name for file - root folder is 'K:\'", "test.avi", "")

I can't figure out how to put a $i in the input box...Everything I tried I get this:

Enter Name for file $i - root folder is 'K:\'

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Agmonyy

Try:

if $filenumber >= 1 then $name[$i] = InputBox("File Upload", "Enter Name for file " & $i & " root folder is 'K:\'", "test.avi", "")

Everything inside the " (or the ') is seens as pure text. So you need to close them and concatenate ( & ) the value of the Variant you need.

E.g.

$eg = ' the end'
MsgBox(0,'','And so this was' & $eg)

Will show a msgbox with 'And so this was the end'.

Instead:

$eg = ' the end'
MsgBox(0,'','And so this was $eg')

Will show 'And so this was $eg' that it may be not what you want.
