iizy Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Hi all, This is my first post I am a c style programmer making a small script for USB related maintenance tasks. I would like to call a variable using the value of another variable, for example(in php): <?php $myvar = "foobar"; $a = "myvar"; echo ${$a}; ?> This will output "foobar" I would like to do something similar or know if this is possible in auto before i continue writing my little script. Thank you, -Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valuater Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 AFAIK... $myvar = "foobar"; $a = "myvar"; for $a to equal "foobar", No way! 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProgAndy Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 (edited) AutoIt has the functions Eval, Execute and Assign. Just read the helpfile for more information.

Moderators Melba23 Posted April 23, 2009 Moderators Share Posted April 23, 2009 iizy, This should give you an idea of the range of options available in Autoit:Dim $myvar = "foobar"; $a = Eval("myvar") ConsoleWrite("Eval: " & $a & @CRLF) $a = Execute("$myvar") ConsoleWrite("Execute: " & $a & @CRLF) Assign($a, $myvar) ConsoleWrite("Assign : " & $a & @CRLF) I am sure one of these meets your requirements. :-) M23 Any of my own code posted anywhere on the forum is available for use by others without any restriction of any kind Open spoiler to see my UDFs: Spoiler ArrayMultiColSort ---- Sort arrays on multiple columnsChooseFileFolder ---- Single and multiple selections from specified path treeview listingDate_Time_Convert -- Easily convert date/time formats, including the language usedExtMsgBox --------- A highly customisable replacement for MsgBoxGUIExtender -------- Extend and retract multiple sections within a GUIGUIFrame ---------- Subdivide GUIs into many adjustable framesGUIListViewEx ------- Insert, delete, move, drag, sort, edit and colour ListView itemsGUITreeViewEx ------ Check/clear parent and child checkboxes in a TreeViewMarquee ----------- Scrolling tickertape GUIsNoFocusLines ------- Remove the dotted focus lines from buttons, sliders, radios and checkboxesNotify ------------- Small notifications on the edge of the displayScrollbars ----------Automatically sized scrollbars with a single commandStringSize ---------- Automatically size controls to fit textToast -------------- Small GUIs which pop out of the notification area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iizy Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 I thank you all for your responses Eval is what I used. $a = "foobar" $mytest = "a" MsgBox(0,"",Eval($mytest)) This works as expect to output foobar. Hope others find these posts useful. Thank you all, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
