Variable question?

[Smiley357 0]

Is there a way to have a variable inside a variable name?

Example:

$count = 1

$var$count = 500 ;this would mean the same thing as $var1=500

No you cannot do what you are trying to do but you can create a array and use one variable in another

$count = 1
$var[$count] = 500

so $var[0] = 1 and $var[1] = 500 if you had $count = 2 the thing would fail because you never included $var[1] then unless you enum it.

Well, it can be done:

$count = 1
Assign("var" & $count, 500)
ConsoleWrite("Debug: $var1 = " & Eval("var1") & @LF)

But, you are right that in the vast majority of cases, arrays are much better.

Assign/Eval are, almost always, evil.

Well, I need to read from ini-file the several number of sections into arrays. Do the following:

#include <Array.au3>
$IniGeneral = IniReadSection("champ.ini", "General")
If @error Then 
    MsgBox(4096, "", "Error occurred, probably no INI file.")
 EndIf
 
For $g = 1 to $IniGeneral[_ArraySearch ($IniGeneral, "GroupQuan")][1]
    Assign ("IniGroup" & $g, IniReadSection ("champ.ini", "Group" & $g))
Next; that works fine; I get, for example, 2 arrays named $IniGroup1, $IniGroup2

; now I want to see them
For $g = 1 to $IniGeneral[_ArraySearch ($IniGeneral, "GroupQuan")][1]
    _ArrayDisplay (Eval("IniGroup" & "g"))
Next; that doesn't work

example of champ.ini

[General]
ShowLogo=1
TopicNum=1000
PeriodsQuan=20
EstablishConn=0
DeleteConn=1
ConnName=
MultiGame=0
MultiGamePath=
GroupQuan=2
GroupName=Group
[Group1]
GroupEmail=1lalala@unknown.ru
GroupEmailPass=1qwertyuiop
GroupEmailLogin=1tototo
GroupEmailPOP=1poppopop
GroupEmailSMTP=1smtpsmtp
[Group2]
GroupEmail=2lalala@unknown.ru
GroupEmailPass=2qwertyuiop
GroupEmailLogin=2tototo
GroupEmailPOP=2poppopop
GroupEmailSMTP=2smtpsmtp

Can you help with this? (I am newbie) And sorry for bad English

Please never mind. I solved that

For $g = 1 to $IniGeneral[_ArraySearch ($IniGeneral, "GroupQuan")][1]
    $current = Eval ("IniGroup" & $g)
    _ArrayDisplay ($current)
Next
