Concatenation problem...

[arnaud]

Hello,

In my project, I've variables bx (b1, b2, b3, etc...), containing "number" values.

I want to call their variables in "for...do" statements:
for x = 1, 200 do
result = "b"..x
end

In that example, the variable "result" is a string.
How can I make "result" has the value stored in bx ?

Thank you,

Arnaud

Hi. try using a table.

b = {};
b[1] = "apple";
b[2] = "orange";
x = 2;
Dialog.Message("", b[x]);

Hi Corey,

Thank you for your answer!

Yes, using a table works fine. It was what I was thinking about, but I wanted to know if there was another way to do it...


Thank you!

FWIW This is exactly what tables are for so that's the best solution, although I'm sure there are other ways, they would likely be less efficient.
