How do i execute functions in a variable?

[Mcky 0]

Example:

$data='MsgBox(0,"Test","Test message")'

How do i execute the function in the variable $data?

$data is not an function but the result of your messagebox.

Please make clear what u want

Notice the single quote around the MsgBox function...

$data is set to the string 'MsgBox(0,"Test","Test message")'

I just want to know how to execute $data in order to display the Message box.

Ah, you want to put a function in a varaible to save typing?

I only believe that you can put the results of the function into a variable, not the function itself.

Besides, doing something like that would only obfuscate and muddy the code.

When u want to do that kind of things use FUNCTIONS

Well, yeah, there's that too.

Static:

Func MB()
  MsgBox(0,"test","test text")
EndFunc

Or

Dynamic:

Func MB($i=0,$sTitle="test",$sText="test text")
   $return = MsgBox($i,$sTitle,$sText)
   Return $return
EndFunc

But, if I want a debug message box, I just use SciTE and hit Ctrl+Alt+D

Edit: Added a return value to the MB function. Yeah, forgot about the yes/no/cancel stuff.

You could try this:

....
if something then
SpecialMsg("Hello world")
else
SpecialMsg("Goodbye world")
endif
Func SpecialMsg($msg1)
Msgbox(0,"Title",$msg1)
exit
Endfunc
