Variable using a variable

[Eddio 0141]

I'm trying to make a variable name with a variable like this

Code: Select all

linenum = 1
string = %line %linenum% %

but it gives me error and doesn't work
any suggestions? thanks

In my opinion, use expression syntax. Look up := in the help file.

Code: Select all

linenum := 1
string := "line " . linenum

Not sure why you have percent signs in the last line. That would be referencing a variable named "line 1 ". But I don't think your syntax is correct enough to do that.

Hi.
You can not use space char in your variable.
Try this:

Code: Select all

linenum = 1
string = line%linenum%

Content of the variable string will be line1.
If the content of string has to be the content of the variable line1, use

Code: Select all

linenum = 1
string := line%linenum%

Edit: derz00 made correct. In a string you can use space char. I thought, you want to use a variable storing in another variable. Now you can choose what to do.
