Using a string literally for function parameters

[IAMK]

Hello,

 

I am trying to use a string variable like a hash definition.

From what I read, hash definitions cannot be used for this, and I am unable to do it with strings.

 

Example of what I want:

$stuff1 = "Words", 0, 0    ;Literally this.

$stuff2 = """Words"", 0, 0"    ;This outputs the string exactly as it is seen in $stuff1

ToolTip($stuff2)    ;I want this to run ToolTip("Words", 0, 0)

 

How can I achieve this result?

 

Thank you in advance.

$stuff2 = """Words"", 0, 0"    ;This outputs the string exactly as it is seen in $stuff1

Tooltip( execute($stuff2) )   ;I want this to run ToolTip("Words", 0, 0)

sleep (10000)

Thank you, that worked.

However, it is following my mouse. It should be at 0, 0.

ToolTip(execute($stuff2), 0, 0)    ;This puts it at 0, 0, but if I want the position to be defined in the string, how would I do that?

because im retarded, i totally meant to use eval and that would have resulted in at best similar results, at worst all of those items in the first parameter. going to probably have to split that into the multiple parameters rather than passing a string that is interpreted as three distinct parameters

$Stuff2 = 'Words, 0, 0'    ;This outputs the string exactly as it is seen in $stuff1

Tooltip( stringsplit($stuff2 , "," , 2)[0] , stringsplit($stuff2, "," , 2)[1] , stringsplit($stuff2, "," , 2)[2]  )   ;I want this to run ToolTip("Words", 0, 0)

sleep (10000)

That's messier than I would have liked, but it works.

Thank you for your quick response.

If you could store it as an array rather than a string you wouldnt need the split.  Because ultimately in this effort you are passing a string, to a function which accepts a string as its first parameter, how else would you expect it to know you want this particular string split if the only commas you can pass will be within the string you are passing?

IAMK, 

You could use a wrapper function like so...

Local $parm1 = 'words', $parm2 = 100, $parm3 = 0

_myToolTip($parm1, $parm2, $parm3)

Func _myToolTip($p1, $p2, $p3)

    ToolTip($p1, $p2, $p3)
    Sleep(2000)

EndFunc   ;==>_myToolTip

Yes, that is what I have done. Thank you for the response.

Hello Just for fun...

 

Local $stuff1 = '"Words", 0, 0'
Local $stuff2 = '"Words", 300, 300'
Local $stuff3 = '"Words", 300, 300, "SomeTitle" ,1,1'

_ToolTip($stuff1)
Sleep(3000)
_ToolTip($stuff2)
Sleep(3000)
_ToolTip($stuff3)
Sleep(3000)
Func _ToolTip($sParam)
    Local $aParam[] = ["", Default, Default, "", 0, Default]
    Local $aSplit = StringSplit($sParam, ",")
    For $i = 1 To $aSplit[0]
        $aParam[$i - 1] = $aSplit[$i]
    Next
    ToolTip($aParam[0], $aParam[1], $aParam[2], $aParam[3], $aParam[4], $aParam[5])
EndFunc   ;==>_ToolTip

Saludos

$stuff2 = 'Words, 0, 0'

_Call(ToolTip, $stuff2)

Sleep(2000)

Func _Call($fuFunc, $sArgs)
    Return Call($fuFunc, StringSplit("CallArgArray," & $sArgs, ",", 2))
EndFunc

Howdy, I just made a post about a problem i'm having and I think this might help me a tad.
