variable inside set variable command? [Solved]

Post by bradleylauchlin »

Is it possible to use a variable inside a set command?

I have a bot that is in about 10 channels that I am using. I want it to record a certain piece of information on that channel. That is working, however the problem I am facing is that if it is set on antoehr channel, it becomes the same for ALL channels. I could just make it a different proc for each of the 10 channels, however I want to be able to scale this out to more channels as needed, and it would be a lot of work once it gets bigger.

Is there anyway to use something like the following?

global record_$chan
set record_$chan

So if the channel name was test the variable it was actually using would be record_test

Let me know if anyone knows the way to pull this off.
THanks :)

Code: Select all

global records
set records($chan) "etc"
Arrays can easily accomplish this. A single global variable array is better than a multitude of seperate global strings floating around.

Yeah, I hadn't even thought about arrays (/me slams forehead on desk). Of course. Thanks for the help :)
