Hi,

How can I get the values of the variables of tFile_1 and tFile_2 as shown below:

on mouseUp
put "This is File one" into tFile_1
put "This is File two" into tFile_2

Repeat with i = 1 to 2
## answer tFile_ & i return tFile_1
## answer (tFile_ & i) also return tFile_1
## answer ("tFile_" & i) also return tFile_1
##
## How to get the string variable of tFile_1 and tFile_2
end Repeat
end mouseUp

I used it before but I suddently forgot it. Oh.... the memory of an old man is really very short

Please help.

Thanks and best regards

Alex,

try value() as in this

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   put "This is File one" into tFile_1
   put "This is File two" into tFile_2
   
   Repeat with i = 1 to 2
      answer value (tFile_ & i)
   end Repeat
end mouseUp

with kind regards and respect for an 'old' man from a not so young man
