Prblem with Loop and A_Index global variable Topic is solved

[megabytez2]

Hi all,

Was wondering if anyone could help with the following issue?
It's a simple issue but I've spent hours trying to find an answer without luck

I have the following loop code that sets a variable based on the A_Index.

Code: Select all

global looprepeat = 4
Loop, %looprepeat% {
Item%A_Index% = LoopNo%A_Index%
}

How do I make the variable Item%A_Index% global? i.e. Item2, Item3, Item4.

I tried putting global before Item%A_Index% but it gives me an error message

"The following variable name contains an illegal character : "GroupMemberName%A_Index%"

Put this loop inside a function and add a Global word to in top of it.
Something like this

Code: Select all

Func() {
    global
    looprepeat = 4
	Loop, %looprepeat% {
		Item%A_Index% = Answer%A_Index%
	}
}

Thanks! I'll give it a go and let you know

Thank you! I'll give it a go and post an update.

... or use one super-global simple array:

Code: Select all

Global looprepeat := 4
Global itemarray := []
Loop, %looprepeat% {
	itemarray[A_Index] := "LoopNo" . A_Index
}

To retrieve the values use itemarray[A_Index] instead of item%A_Index%.
