Variable Named Variable Values?
Hi there, Ok, so here’s the question. I’m sure someone has probably done this before. I can’t seem to find the answer, so perhaps you can help. I have a bunch of variable named pair values read in from a file. (I do not know the order these values will be coming into from the file as they can vary over time.) The format is: (Variable Name1)=(Variable Value1) (Variable Name2)=(Variable Value2) (Variable Name3)=(Variable Value3) etc. Example Data would be: VarUserID=“3124 VarUserName = “John” VarUserEmail = “j...@yahoo.com” etc. I’m able to retrieve the name of the variable and the value of the variable into variables. How do I now assign the values to the original Variable Name by referring to the correct variable name read in? This is some kind of a double reference possibly referring to contents or the value of a variable, it may involve arrays etc. Ideas? Suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Look at the function value(). I would also consider looking at arrays. You can use ‘combine’ to put values into the array and then use ‘repeat’ to clean up by removing the quotes.

Hi Rick, You can also use the do command: set the itemdel to = repeat for each lines tLine in tVariablesAndDataList do put item 2 of tLine into item 1 of tLine end repeat where tVariablesAndDataList contains: VarUserID=“3124 VarUserName=“John” VarUserEmail=“j...@yahoo.com” On Fri, May 16, 2014 at 8:32 PM, Rick Harrison harri...@all-auctions.com wrote: Hi there, Ok, so here’s the question.

If you actually want variable names, the do command is your friend. do put q(tVarValue) into tVarName However, such things are really easier to handle as arrays. put tVarValue into gSessionGlobal[tVarName] Robert ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
