#36718 - 2003-02-20 10:15 AM Combine Variable
ladybird ladybird Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-08-11 Posts: 19	Really need help on this. I would like to combine 2 variables into 1 new variable. Example: $total = 3 $Cnt = 0 $var1 = string1 $var2 = string2 $var3 = string3 While $total > $Cnt $Cnt = $Cnt + 1 $newvar = $var + $Cnt <------ ? $newvar Loop What i would like to have: $newvar should have result as $var1 where is "string1". Actually, i would like to loop as many as $total variable defined and use $var1, $var2, $var3 when is looping. Thanks in advance.

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	Ah ... hmmmm .... just patch strings together ? How about building an array of strings and patch them together with the JOIN() function ? silly sample : break on dim $a[2] $a[0] = "this is the " $a[1] = "result of " $a[2] = "join() ..." $patch = join($a) ? $patch get $ hth J. _________________________

Next

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	But WHY would one change a variable in a loop, no better question : Why would one do it this way ? Please explain Ladybird _________________________

Here is a slightly different version that doesn't require you to set the "total" variable:


$sVar1="String 1"
$sVar2="String 2"
$sVar3="String 3"

$iCount=1
While Execute("Exit VarType($$sVar"+$iCount+")")
 $sNull=Execute("$$sNewvar=$$sVar"+$iCount)
 "$$sNewvar="$sNewvar ?
 $iCount=$iCount+1
Loop

Please ! In order to help us help you you should really explain that a bit closer _________________________

I think we're all a little bit confused as what exactly you try to do. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	Could you please explain that? I mean what exactly do yo try to accomplish with this convoluted task? I don't really see usefulness in it _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	Now Now ... changing a variable is better practice than changing code, that is already defined by the name 'variable' ... LOL ! But ... Ladybird If you would have shown us the code or at least a snippet of it we would have understood what you tried to accomplish (Plus, in most of the cases I saw there was a great improvement provided by the Kixpharts ) Let us see, pleeease J. _________________________
