A question

[BlankMind]

Well, I want to add a numeric prefix on my variables, I mean:

I want to make $name1, $name2, $name3 and etc until a limit, but I don't want to have to change the program every time I want to change the limit. I would like to do something like this, if I want to put "test" on a lot of variables (10) $name.

$number = 1
While $number <= 10
$name(here's go the variable $number) = "test"
$number = $number + 1
WEnd
Exit

What I can't do is put a variable to make the name of another variable, okay? Something like $name$number, or $name($number), or $name & $number, I don't know how to do that.

I think I was able to explain what is my problem. I'm waiting for some help, thank you.

You have a look help into Assign function:

Assigns a variable by name with the data.

Assign ( "varname", "data" [, flag] )

I think, this is what you need.

I could not find this function on AutoIT documentation and if I use it AutoIT says it's a unknown function.

I'm sorry, forgot to mention that only in beta version :">. You can download it now or wait one-two weeks until version 3.1 will be released.

I'll try this now, thank you for supporting. I'm very anxious for a new AutoIT version

Wow, GUI creating of beta AutoIT is really impressing and some new functions or remade functions are very cool. Assign is the command I need man, thank you, and new Random (that can create integer numbers now) is great too, I don't know how I didn't know that this great beta exists .

And I'm learning how to use GUI now and I'd like to ask if there isn't a program to make easier the work of sizing and placing buttons. There is?

That's what arrays are for:

$maxnum = InputBox('Maximum number', 'Maximum number')
dim $name[$maxnum]
for $i = 0 to $maxnum - 1
    $name[$i] = "test" & $i
Next
For $i = 0 to $maxnum - 1
    MsgBox(0, $i, $name[$i])
Next

Wow, AutoBuilder is really great! I'll send a message of thanks to this guy later, and thank you for tell me about this program.

That's what arrays are for:

$maxnum = InputBox('Maximum number', 'Maximum number')
dim $name[$maxnum]
for $i = 0 to $maxnum - 1
    $name[$i] = "test" & $i
Next
For $i = 0 to $maxnum - 1
    MsgBox(0, $i, $name[$i])
Next

Yesterday I found out about arrays when I used MouseGetPos() and it solves my problems too, using Assign solves my problem too...

Thank you two for helping.
