I'm having trouble understanding how parameters are accessed in AutoHotKey functions.

For example, I set myVar variable with the InputBox, then pass it to a function. How do I evaluate the arg in the TestFunction?

#t::
inputbox myVar, What is your variable?
myNewVar := TestFunction(%myVar%)
MsgBox %myNewVar%
return

TestFunction(arg)
{
MsgBox arg
msgBox %arg%
return %arg%
}

Thanks!

As an extension to this, how does one pass the name of the variable to a function?
I wanted to have a Debug function that printed the name of the variable and the value in it. I have searched the forum a bit but have not found what I need.

There may be another way but the easiest would be just to send the var name to the function as a parameter.
Hard, and not 100% perfect methodThere maybe some extra patterns that can sneak their way past the regexReplace
( sorry I'm new to rE )

Thanks for reply but first means one has to enter the variable in name in the function call.
The second is an interesting idea but tricky to make 100% correct.
I rather hoped thare was a global variable set up with the current variable name.
