Forums Scripts & Popups using /bset to redefine an &bvar

hi,
If i try to use /bset -t again to reset a variable into something shorter, this doesn't work, the variable reemains the same.
Do i Have to unset & reset the variable again or just use /bcopy - or is somethinng wrong with my code.

from the commandline ..



the original variable 'abcdefg' should just become 'abcd' there,
but it just remains the same.

Thanks

Yes, as you can see, /bset does not unset anything, it just :
So in your example, it just overwrite the same text, use /bunset if you want a *clean* binvar.

/bcopy -c &b 1 &b 1 4

actually I don't wanna clear it per se, I just want to set the binvar to abcd after it has been set previously as abcdefg.
wonder why bset behaves like this.

[Edit] Collective thanks..we cross posted. - I guess /bcopy is the only solution

Besides their "nonlimited" size, it's the basic feature of binvars that you can return and manipulate parts of them, and for the bset command in particular that you set > overwrite only the specified byte(s)
