I started messing with autohotkey about 3 days ago and i'm learning better ways to do things constantly. I love this program. Learning has kept me busy continually revising my script and tidying it up. I've just started implementing a loop/variable process to cut down on the lines of code and can't seem to output a value reference a variable name which actually is stated using either 2 variables or a string and a variable.

This for example works fine:

tempvar = 1
Loop 30
{
IniRead, websiteurlvarout%tempvar%, configdata.ini, website, websiteurl%tempvar%
tempvar++
}

I need to do something along these lines though:

tempvar = 2
Loop 14
{
Gui, 2:Add, Edit, R1 +w100 +vwebsitevarin%tempvar%, %websitevarout%%2% ;<------
tempvar++
}

or

tempvar = 2
Loop 14
{
Gui, 2:Add, Edit, R1 +w100 +vwebsitevarin%tempvar%, websitevarout%2% ;<------
tempvar++
}

This is not working obviously. In this case you'll see that "websitevarout" is constant. Is what i'm trying to do even possible? Is there a better way to do this? Please guide me!

Thx

Use the code tag.

If you wish to assign a changing variable when adding controls in a loop to a gui:

SWEET! Thanks for the A_Index variable that is very useful. I read the section in the help file for that. I'm still confused about one thing and I feel stupid about this, when you said:

Gui, 1: Add, Edit, x+10 y10 w50 vVariable%A_Index%, % VarContents%A_index%

Can you give me some more direction on the "% VarContents%A_Index%" part? I'm sorry I just don't follow 100%

AHHHH I figured it out by doing some forum searching. Thanks for the help man!! For anyone else who reads this thread, I worked it out like this:

Gui, 2:Add, Edit, R1 +w100 +vwebsitevarin%A_Index%, % websitevarout%A_Index%

Where "websitevarout" is the string constant prefix for this group of variables.

Thanks again for the help!!

FYI, the "% " prefix on a parameter forces it to be evaluated as an expression. Double-dereferencing (accessing dynamically-named variables) can only be done with expressions (or Transform,..,Deref.)
