Seperation into variables

Post by Bilde » Tue Jan 03, 2006 2:39 pm

Hi I want to read ip and port form a txt file and make them into variables:

I though of ReadLn, to get the line "ip.goes.here:port" but how do i seperate it into 2 variable that I can use for my macro?

thx in advance!

Use the Separate command:

Separate>line,:,vars

The colon is the delimiter in this case. You will end up with vars_1 with the IP address and vars_2 with the port number.

Hm it's not working when I run it in the edit window, and it returns vars_1,
But it's working fine if it's not open, and return the ip. How can this be?

Probably because you are not stepping through all the code? Maybe you're missing some important code by running the debugger from a line later in the process. If you want to run the whole thing in the editor make sure the first line is selected because the debugger runs or steps from the selected line (the line where the cursor is).
