Create variable names during runtime...

[supersonic]

Hi!

I'm trying to create several variables during script runtime:

For $i = 1 To 3
   $dummy & $i = "test_string"
   ConsoleWrite($dummy & $i & @CRLF)
Next

This should result in three different variables:

$dummy1

$dummy2

$dummy3

Any ideas?

Why not use an array?

Global $dummy[3]
For $i = 0 To 2
   $dummy[$i] = "test_string" & $i+1
   ConsoleWrite($dummy[$i] & @CRLF)
Next

Opt("ExpandVarStrings", 1)

For $i = 1 To 3
    Assign("dummy$i$", Random(-5, 5))
    ConsoleWrite(Eval('dummy$i$') & @LF)
Next

ConsoleWrite($dummy1 & @TAB & $dummy2 & @TAB & $dummy3 & @LF)

The AutoIt Check will generate an error, it's a completely valid script though, but not wise one.

Good idea. I modified the script using an array.

Global $dummy[3]
For $i = 0 To 2
   $dummy[$i] = "test_string" & $i+1
   ConsoleWrite($dummy[$i] & @CRLF)
