Forums Scripts & Popups Hashtable data to a variable

In v6.01 I could set a var in an alias using info from a hashtable, i.e.:
var %a = $hget(table, item)
and then use the variable within the alias

With v6.03 however, this method often returns nothing.

Have I missed a change somewhere?

Also, I use the same var in multiple alias' .

alias1 - var %a = this data
alias2 - var %a = other data

Could this cause a conflict or do the var's free themselves at the end of the alias.

1. Should work fine. example:

Then try to //echo $hget(test,item)... it will echo 'data'.

You'll have to specify either .item or .data property only when the $hget(table,N) method is used.

For example, to get the first item name, you'd use: //echo $hget(test,1).item, and to get its content: //echo $hget(test,1).data.

2. As you thought, local variables never conflict with each other and free themselves when the routine ends.
