Hello.
I am trying to transform a variable like "var1 =2*2+2" into "var1 := 2*2+2".
Actually, I already did it but with a too long code, Is there some nice trick to do it with only a few lines?

Hello. Thanks for your awser,but let me explain my problem with more details.
I have a gui window with many controls,one of then is a edit control.
In this edit I will write something like this "2*3+4".
I want the result (10) to be added to another edit contents,and I am looking for a way to do it using only one script.

with this lines of code:
Gui, Add, Edit, vMyEdit, 2*3+4
Gui, Add, Edit, vMyEdit2, 10
Gui, Add, Button, ,OK

when button OK is clicked it will send the "submit, nohide" command, but the variable
MyEdit contains a string ("2*3+4") not the result (10),and references to operators are considered "text" I presume.

For reasons of performance and code-size reduction, it is not currently possible to dynamically evaluate an expression. For example, you can't do Result := %VarContainingExpression%.

Therefore, the script would either have to parse the expression and evaluate it on its own (quite a lot of complexity if you want to support parentheses, etc.) or you have to build and execute a second script as Rabiator suggested.
