SpookMeister Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Is there a way to get the name of a variable that was passed to a function from within that function? for example: $x = "Peanut Butter" expand($x) $y = "Jelly" expand($y) Func expand($var) ConsoleWrite(_SomeFunctionToGetTheVariableName($var) & "=" & $var) EndFunc ;==>expand Where the result (in the console in this example) would be: x=Peanut Butter y=Jelly [u]Helpful tips:[/u]If you want better answers to your questions, take the time to reproduce your issue in a small "stand alone" example script whenever possible. Also, make sure you tell us 1) what you tried, 2) what you expected to happen, and 3) what happened instead.[u]Useful links:[/u]BrettF's update to LxP's "How to AutoIt" pdfValuater's Autoit 1-2-3 Download page for the latest versions of Autoit and SciTE[quote]<glyph> For example - if you came in here asking "how do I use a jackhammer" we might ask "why do you need to use a jackhammer"<glyph> If the answer to the latter question is "to knock my grandmother's head off to let out the evil spirits that gave her cancer", then maybe the problem is actually unrelated to jackhammers[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
