Can Seperate command accept a variable

AppAust · Post by **AppAust** » Fri Apr 27, 2012 11:13 am

I am using seperate command in a subroutine to generate lists of files in folders

GetFileList>c:\a1\*.*,fl,;
separate>fl,;,Flist

What I am wanting to do is
GetFileList>c:\a1\*.*,fl,;
Let>myFList=Test (will actually be a passed variable)
separate>fl,;,%myFlist%

I was hoping I would end up with my list of files in
Test_1, Test_2, ......

I am actually getting them in an array
%myFlist%_1, %myFlist_2%, .......

Any Suggestions on how to acheive this.

Thanks.

Separate is going to use whatever text you place as the array variable name. I doubt that it can use the predefined value of that text. But you can assign that value after the separate by renaming the array text to new text.

Does this do what you want?

Code: Select all

// (will actually be a passed variable)
    Let>myFList=Test

//What I am wanting to do is
    GetFileList>c:\a1\*.*,fl,;

    separate>fl,;,var

    Let>kk=0
    Repeat>kk
      Add>kk,1
      Let>%myFlist%_%kk%=var_%kk%
    Until>kk=var_count

//I was hoping I would end up with my list of files in
//Test_1, Test_2, ......

    mdl>Test_1
