How to represent a variable with a string

[Letraindusoir]

local $sString=""
$sString=string(12345679*9)

P("$sString$")

func P($Var)
    ConsoleWrite(StringTrimRight($Var,1) & "=[")
    Opt("ExpandVarStrings", 1)
    ConsoleWrite($Var & "]" & @CRLF)
    Opt("ExpandVarStrings", 0)
endfunc

In this way, the effect is completely achieved.

Except that it only works on global variables - that Local $sString is not actually local, since it is defined outside of any function.

If the ExpandVarStrings gets a true local variable label it will be too late to track down its value.

Maybe the ExpandVarStrings could be enabled and disabled before the P function, though the effects this may cause could be undesirable for some.

Another way is using the PreEx() function, shown in the thread below.

(For some reason, I didn’t find your thread before asking a question myself)
