 Posted: Mon Aug 16, 2004 1:39 am Post subject: Variable mixup... |
 |
|
| Code: | SetEnv, %var1%, MsgBox, hi
SetEnv, %var2%, MsgBox, bye
MsgBox, 4, One or Two, Choose a button:
IfMsgBox, YES
%var1%
else
%var2%
return |
That is an example of a bit of a code I'm using. The part I'm having problems with starts from 'IfMsgBox...', it doesn't recognise '%var1%'.
I have tried alot of things but no luck. I want it so when the right button is clicked the respective variable function should load. Please help, thankyou. |

There's no support yet for dynamic commands; in other words, the command name cannot be contained in a variable.
Also, do not use percent signs around variables on the left side of an assignment unless you want them to be dynamic vars or arrays). For example, use "SetEnv, var1, SomeString" not "SetEnv, %var1%, SomeString".
New version:
| Code: | var1 = hi
var2 = bye
MsgBox, 4, One or Two, Choose a button:
IfMsgBox, YES
MsgBox %var1%
else
MsgBox %var2%
return |

Thankyou very much. I spend countless hours trying to fix my original script and all that was stopping me was those % signs and gaps  lol. |

| I don't think you're the only one confused. It's on the to-do list to enhance the tutorial with a brief description of variables. |

In your new version of the script, when you click the buttons it gives a Message Box with the variables. How can I make the variables actually run when you click any button?
Oh yea, an easier tutorial on variables would be great! |

I mean that in this script, if they click the option 'One' then how can I make it run the var1 variable  |

It's unclear what you mean by "run the var1 variable". If you want to launch some other script, you can run it directly if it's in the same folder:
Run, Script2.ahk |

This is an example of the script I'm making:
| Code: | var1 = MsgBox, hi
var2 = MsgBox, bye
MsgBox, 4, One or Two, Choose a button:
IfMsgBox, YES
%var1%
else
%var2%
return |
When I run the script I get the error message:
| Quote: | Error at line 5.
Line Text: %var1%
Error: This line does not contain a recognised action.
The program will exit.
[OK] |
I want the script to carry out var1 when they click 'One' (so when they click 'One' it will give a message box saying 'hi'). I know I can make it run another script in another filder but I don't want to do that. Please look at my code and try to see what the problem is... it's really fustrating me  |

Means that is illegal !
| Quote: | var1 = MsgBox, hi
var2 = MsgBox, bye |
Any reason why you came back using the corrupt code ?
While this one is working fine (!) ...
| Quote: | var1 = hi
var2 = bye
MsgBox, 4, One or Two, Choose a button:
IfMsgBox, YES
MsgBox %var1%
else
MsgBox %var2% |

Right, AutoHotkey cannot yet run commands contained inside a variable. Although this is planned, its an advanced feature and rarely needed for everyday scripting.
I'm assuming the script you posted -- since it clearly doesn't require the above -- is just an example of something more complex you want to do. So if you can describe your goal, someone here might be able to help more completely. |

Well I want something like this code:
| Code: | var1 = MsgBox, hi
var2 = MsgBox, bye
MsgBox, 4, One or Two, Choose a button:
IfMsgBox, YES
%var1%
else
%var2%
return |
A script that will give a Message box saying 'hi' when you press 'One' or the message 'bye' when you press 'Two'. Do you know some code which can do this? |

Yes, there's an example above in the very first reply to your post. Here is a simplified version:
| Code: | MsgBox, 4, One or Two, Choose a button:
IfMsgBox, YES
Msg = Hi
else
Msg = Bye
MsgBox %Msg%
return |
Note that you can customize the names of the buttons in a MsgBox by following this example. |

Woohoo! I am really happy. In the end I figured out I could use the 'Goto, ' code instead of variables. Thanks anyway for your time.  |
