Label / Array does not work with a variable

Post by machinogodzilla » Mon Aug 21, 2006 10:39 pm

The below macro does not work (Error: Label not found) although in the help file there is written: "Goto>Label_Name. Label_Name can be or include a variable name". Aparently the Label itself cannot, am I right?

Code: Select all


Let>m=1

	   GoTo>%m%

	   Label>%m%

MessageModal>%m%

And another macro that does not work. This time the problem with a variable and an array:

Code: Select all


Let>m=1

Let>Set[m]=3|6|9

Separate>Set[1],|,part
MessageModal>%part_1%,%part_2%,%part_3%

Re the second script, change from m to %m% in Let> line, like this:

Code: Select all

Let>m=1

Let>Set[%m%]=3|6|9

Separate>Set[1],|,part
MessageModal>%part_1%,%part_2%,%part_3%
=================================
Re first script, need to use varible before Label> line like this:

Code: Select all

Let>m=0

Label>Start
Let>m=%m%+1

GoTo>Drive%m%

Label>Drive1
MessageModal>%m%
Goto>Start

Label>Drive2
MessageModal>%m%
Hope this was helpful..................good luck,

In the second example you need to change:

Let>Set[m]=3|6|9

to

Let>Set[%m%]=3|6|9
