How to use Opt("ExpandVarStrings",1) to expand array variables in strings?

[SadBunny]

Help of "ExpandVarStrings" says nothing about arrays not working, can't find anything on the forum either.

I tried the following:

#include <Array.au3>
Opt("ExpandVarStrings",1)
$a = _ArrayCreate("text1","text2","text3")
$b = "hello"
MsgBox(0,"test","Testing $b$ and $a$[1] and $a[1]$ and $a$[1]$ gives me no correct substitution for all the $a array variables!")

Can anyone tell me how to do this? Thanks in advance.

It just doesn't do array variables...

Ok, that's a turnoff... It would really have saved me some time. Now I will have to rewrite a LOT of string code manually

Thanks anyway.

It's not so bad. You did it in six lines, I did it in 6 lines...

Opt("ExpandVarStrings", 1)
Dim $a[3] = ["text1", "text2", "text3"], $b = "hello"
For $n = 0 To UBound($a) - 1
    Assign("var" & $n, $a[$n])
Next
MsgBox(0, "test", "Testing $b$ and $var0$ and $var1$ and $var2$ gives me the correct substitution!")

very good workaround

Good idea, thanks! Some tweaking (I have sledgehammers and power drills hanging around here somewhere for tweaking) and this can be put to work, so I can still save time!

Thanks again.
