Subrountine String literals

[srhamy]

I was trying to write a subroutine that handles file initialization, and some default values for INI filename and path if not passed. Here's an excerpt showing my trouble.

Code: Select all

Let>Modules=a,b,c,d
Gosub>WriteINIFile,,Settings,modules,%modules%

SRT>WriteINIFile
Let>INIFile=%WriteINIFile_VAR_1%
Let>INISection=%WriteINIFile_VAR_2%
Let>INIEntryName=%WriteINIFile_VAR_3%
Let>INIValue=%WriteINIFile_VAR_4%
End>WriteINI

When observing the watchlist, the 3rd argument comes through as var content (a.b.c.d) not as literal (modules)
I am trying to avoid setting VAREXPLICIT=1 because I am new to MS, and don't want all examples/help files to be viewed in light of this functional change

I also wanted to avoid something like...

Code: Select all

Gosub>WriteINIFile,,Settings,{"modules"},%modules%

But wan't sure the there is a way since the subroutine argument variable are assigned behind the scenes.

Any thoughts??

Does something like this work for you?

Code: Select all

Let>Modules=a,b,c,d
Gosub>WriteINIFile,,Settings,.modules,%modules%
SRT>WriteINIFile
Let>INIFile=%WriteINIFile_VAR_1%
Let>INISection=%WriteINIFile_VAR_2%
Let>INIEntryName=%WriteINIFile_VAR_3%
StringReplace>INIEntryName,.,,INIEntryName
Let>INIValue=%WriteINIFile_VAR_4%
End>WriteINIFile
