Forums Scripts & Popups Question about variables

Is there anyway I could set a variable in remotes and possibly use it throughout that file in more than one event? If not then just one event will work.

Thanks in advance.

from the help file:

/set [-snzuN] <%var> [value]
This sets the value of %var to the specified value.

see: /help /set for more information.

Sorry I wasen't more clear.

I don't want to put it in the variables section in the Remote Editor. Is there a way I can make a variable (NOT PUTTING IT IN THE REMOTE EDITOR) and using it throughout the file i "created" it in or even just in one event is fine.

Are you looking for /var - a temp. way of storing a variable which is then reset after the event has finished?

alias example {
var %test = This is a test.
echo 4 -a - %test
var %i = 10
while (%i) {
echo 3 -a - %i
dec %i
}
echo 4 -a - %test - is still set.
}

Like so? If not, please clarify.

Exactly it, thanks!

did you need it to exists between executions of your script, or just during the running of the one you created it in?
