Assigns a variable by name with the data.
Assign ( "varname", "data" [, flag = 0] )
| varname | The name of the variable you wish to assign. Cannot be an array element and must only contain letters, digits and underscore characters (as per normal variable naming conventions). |
| data | The data you wish to assign to the variable. |
| flag | [optional] controls the way that variables are assigned (add required options together): $ASSIGN_CREATE (0) = (default) Create variable if required $ASSIGN_FORCELOCAL (1) = Force creation in local scope $ASSIGN_FORCEGLOBAL (2) = Force creation in global scope $ASSIGN_EXISTFAIL (4) = Fail if variable does not already exist Constants are defined in AutoItConstants.au3 |
| Success: | 1. |
| Failure: | 0 if unable to create/assign the variable. |
If there is a need to use Assign() to create/write to a variable, then in most situations, Eval() should be used to read the variable and IsDeclared() should be used to check that the variable exists.
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
; Assign the variable string sString with data.
Assign("sString", "This is a string which is declared using the function Assign")
; Find the value of the variable string sString and assign to the variable $sEvalString.
Local $sEvalString = Eval("sString")
; Display the value of $sEvalString. This should be the same value as $sString.
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", $sEvalString)
