Multiple element variables - What would the code be, within a loop, for assigning and referencing an element's current value?

[Bruce Thomson]

I can't see in the Help how to do this. 'Grateful if you can help.

 

I'm confused about getting values from a multi-element variable from a of pre-run list of values.

(I have created a variable %CB% that has a list of text values  CB 11   CB 12   CB 13 etc. )

By the way, I don't know what the 'Caption' box means in the Variable Set String dialog box.

 

I'd like to know what the the script code is to create a 4-iteration loop that...

- Grabs the first element value of %CB% and types that value into NotePad (which is the declared context the macro has been told to use) at the NotePad cursor position at that moment

 

- Then at the next iteration of the loop, grabs the next element value of %CB%, and pastes that into NotePad where the cursor currently is.

 

- 'Repeating the process to get and paste CB 13, etc.

I'm not sure where the four values are coming from, but assume they're random numbers between 100 and 999:

 

// Generate random values for %CB[1]% ... %CB[4]%
Repeat Start (Repeat 4 times)
  Variable Set Integer %CB[%x%]% to a random value between 100 and 999
End Repeat
 
// Output the four random values
Repeat Start (Repeat 4 times)
  Text Type (Simulate Keystrokes): CB[%x%]  = %CB[%x%]%<ENTER>
End Repeat

 

<COMMENT Value="Generate random values for %CB[1]% ... %CB[4]%"/>
<REPEAT START Start="1" Step="1" Count="4" Save="TRUE" Variable="%x%"/>
<VARIABLE SET INTEGER Option="\x05" Destination="%CB[%x%]%" Minimum="100" Maximum="999"/>
<END REPEAT/>
<COMMENT/>
<COMMENT Value="Output the four random values"/>
<REPEAT START Start="1" Step="1" Count="4" Save="TRUE" Variable="%x%"/>
<TEXT TYPE Action="0" Text="CB[%x%]  = %CB[%x%]%<ENTER>"/>
<END REPEAT/>

 

Sample output:

 

CB[1]  = 548
CB[2]  = 611
CB[3]  = 114
CB[4]  = 595
