Re: Assigning Symbol Var to Compiler Var?

Hi,

Thanks Friedrich for you quick response to my questions. As always, excellent support!

You suggestion did not exactly work right, but it did point me in a different direction to fix my problem.

I was not using constants... I was using #def. Since I jump between command line batches and running the script interactively, I chose #DEF to grab the command line values. However, #const can also do the same.

The big difference is that your example shows that a constant can pass its value to a compiler variable. You cannot do the same for a preprocessor symbol. At least I tried every combo, and it never worked.

So, I switched my batch file vars from symbols to constants by changing /DS to /SC and was able to accomplish my goal. Thanks.

Re: Assigning Symbol Var to Compiler Var?

Hi Doug,

It's similar to this one:
http://www.lindersoft.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7790

Just do:

#const $MY_VALUE$ = Prompt for Value
#set compiler variable [TEST] = "$MY_VALUE$"

Set Variable %MY_VAR% to "[TEST]"
Display Message Box "Variable Value is: %MY_VAR%" -- "No problem"

Does this help?

Friedrich

Assigning Symbol Var to Compiler Var?

Hi,

I was wondering if there was a way for the value of a symbol variable to be passed to a Compiler Variable?

Can I use #Set a Compiler Variable to grab the value of a symbol?

Thanks,
Doug
