Variable names

[Cormin]

I want a variable to select another variable.

 

$queue & $queuenumber = $send

So that if $queuenumber = 0 then  $queue0 will = $send

Cormin,

Your pseudo-code is pretty close:

If $queuenumber = 0 Then $queue0 = $send

M23

But I want my queuenumber to be expandable to like 100 at least. So I wanted it to be able to just append the number onto the base $queue variable. Which would make it $queue1, $queue2, $queue3, etc... Is that not possible?

 

Thought I solved it at first but didnt.

Id use array variables..  $queue[0], $queue[1] .... $queue[100] etc.

That way you can call them like this.

$x = 0

do

.. my compare

$queue[$x] = something

$x=$x+1

Until $x = 100

like that .

with assign?

$queue0 = "TEST_FAIL"
 
$send = "TEST_SUCCESS"
$queuenumber = 0
Assign("queue" & $queuenumber , $send)

msgbox(0, '' , $queue0)

Oh this is nice! Okay then now I need to move strings along the queue. I dont think this would work with assign? Lets say queue0 is complete and needs to be replaced with queue1. Then move everything else up.

Sort of like $queue & $queuenumber-1 = $queue and $queuenumber

that is a different task.  once you get the strings assigned store them in an array.  You could then run item $array[0] and delete it (or look at pop/push depending on what you are trying to do).  Changing the variable name at that point seems tedious.
