How can I do this?

[AoRaToS]

This is rather easy I believe, let's say I have this script

$x = 3

Msgbox(0,"",$x)

This will show 3, but what If I want it to show $x instead, but not by including "$x", is there a way to indicate whether it will show the variable rather than the value it holds?

I think in C++ when you use a & you get that...

PS Is it called "call by reference"?And the other is by value?

Using & in C++ will show the address in memory of your var

[AoRaToS]

Yes you're right about that

What about what I want to do?

"$x" :-D

Sorry but there is no way of acquiring the variable name, at least that I can see.

But I did throw this together. It's not what you asked for but might be but you need.

ConsoleWrite(_CodeLine(@ScriptLineNumber) & @CRLF); This Line will be Printed to the command line

Func _CodeLine($ScriptLine)
    Local $Start, $End
    
    If @Compiled Then Return SetError(1, 0, "Compiled Script: Can not return Script line")
    
    Local $File = FileOpen(@ScriptFullPath, 0)
    Local $Data = FileRead($File)
    FileClose($File)
    
    If $ScriptLine = 1 Then
        $Start = 1
    Else
        $Start = StringInStr($Data, @CRLF, 1, $ScriptLine - 1) + 2
    EndIf
    
    $End = StringInStr($Data, @CRLF, 1, 1, $Start)
    If $End = 0 Then Return StringMid($Data, $Start)
    
    Return StringMid($Data, $Start, $End - $Start)
EndFunc

edit: fixed issues with calling from first and last lines of script.

I can't use that

I have a script but it's growing quite large cause I have to repeat stuff with slight differences, it would be easier if I could get a variable name and somehow change it so that the one function I have can work every time.

I have 10 tabs to do the same thing with different variables like

func 1

msgbox x1

msgbox x98

msgbox x54

endfunc

func 2

msgbox x9

msgbox x3

msgbox x23

endfunc

it's more complicated in the real script, it would be great if I could have a funcion called x and the I could call it and parse each parameter, I think I though of a way, I have to check it though...

Sounds to me like the functions need broken down further. Can you clarify more on what your trying to do?

[qazwsx]

sounds like you need an array.
