I'm trying to create incrementing variable names inside a loop with no success. Here's an example of the code I had in mind to make it work...
code:
$I = 0
While $I < 5
DIM $TMPVAR$I
$I = $I + 1
Loop
I would want this code to create the following variables...
$TMPVAR0, $TMPVAR1, $TMPVAR2, $TMPVAR3, $TMPVAR4
The problem comes in because variables cannot be used to create variable names. If anyone knows a workaround or another way to accomplish this, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Ben Dulaney

How about using execute:
code:
break on
$I = 0
While $I < 5
$=Execute("$$TMPVAR$I = $i")
$I = $I + 1
Loop
?"TmpVar2=" $TMPVAR2
exit 1

Dear Ben,
We advise you to use an array instead of method. It is a very strange way
of programming, which make it hard to understand "what is happening" and
"what is going wrong in our script". Maintaining becomes also hard.
Please explain: why you prevent this method above array usage.
greetings.
btw: in the past another member try to create also dynamic variables, but
his way doesn't have a structure.

MCA,
How do you accomplish the above in an array?

Dear,
A possibility is following which was put on by Bryce.
Run on kixtart 4.x
code:
break on
DO
$temp=ENUMGROUP($index)
$groups=$temp+",$groups"
$index=$index+1
UNTIL Len($temp) = 0
$groups=split(substr($groups,2,len($groups)),",")
REDIM preserve $groups[ubound($groups)-1]
? "Number of groups @userid is a member of = " ubound($groups)+1
FOR EACH $group IN $groups
? $group
NEXT
another example for kixtart 3.x
code:
DIM $elements[64]
$i=1
WHILE ($i <= 64)
$elements[$i]=$i
$i=$i+1
LOOP
kixtart 3.x doesn't know REDIM command and $ubound function.
Of course we doesn't know what you wnat to assign.
"64" is an example value.
greetings.
