Reading a Text line with embedded Variable?

[ashley123]

Hello, I've tried this, but it doesn't work, it will either show everything as text that I read or nothing...

Is it possible to use the line you read as a variable?

global $VARIABLENAME = "john"

$TEXT = FileReadLine(@WorkingDir&"\TEST\testme.txt",1)

$NEW = $TEXT

MsgBox (0, "", $NEW , "0" , "")

AND then the line in the text file to read is this:

$VARIABLENAME

But I want to be able to include normal text in the lines also if possible like:

"Your package will arrive shortly," &$VARIABLENAME

global $NAME1 = "Ashley123"
$TEXT = FileReadLine(@ScriptDir&"\txt.txt",1); contains: "Your Answer is here, " & $Name1
$NEW = Execute($TEXT)
MsgBox (0, "", $TEXT & " ==> " & $NEW)

Ah thanks for the help. That works, I didn't know of the Execute function : )
