Store Varriable names ($var1) in INI file

[JoeWagner]

Is it possible to store variable names in an INI file to auto populate the correct data in a list view control with INIReadSection

Ini file would look like:

[section1]

List item1=$var1

List item2=$var2

List item3=$var1

etc...

I've done it in my script and the returned text matches global variables already set and tested, but alas the list is populated

with the $var1 text and not the actual value of $var1.

I suspect this is an impossibility but I'm hopeful. This ability would greatly reduce the number of IF compares I would otherwise need to do.

I apologize if this has already been covered, I wasn't able to articulate the search terms to find anything even remotely related.

Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

I think you can try "Eval ( string )". Look it up for syntax and exact usage, but I hope that's it.

On the flip side, use "Assign ( "varname", "data" [, flag] )" to assign it.

Try Assign() function or better... Use Arrays! (bidimensional if you want

Thanks for the speedy answer...

Eval seems to do what I need it to do.

Assign doesn't quite work because the value I am referring to is an array value from INIREADSECTION and from what I understand from the help file this would simply reassign to requested value to the Array value (if Assign worked on array values).

I have to do some more testing but Eval seems to exactly what I needed.

Thanks again

Might want to take a look at this, you can steal some of the functions for iniwrite for a listview
