calling variable with a string

Is it possible to call global variables by a string?

Like if you have these global variables:

orange_1

orange_2

orange_3

and you wanted to be able to call the variables with a combination of the text strings:

"orange"

and

"1"

"2"

"3"

from my testing so far, the expression doesn't look for a variable with that name it just treats it as the base text/string. I didn't find any system expressions that allow you to use a string to find a variable. Am I missing something?

Nope.

You can use those values contained in a variable however.

Like if mygvariable= "orange_"&1

Thanks for the quick reply! I'll just go the longer route to make it happen.

using dictionary, perhaps?

As far as placing var in text strings is rather straight forward but will require a bit of labor.

var "Apple_Red" = 10

Start of Layout > Set text for Textbox to "Have you collected all the apples?"

If Yes_btn is clicked

"Apple_Red" >= 8

set Textbox to "Great now I can make that pie"

"Apple_Red" < 8 then

set Textbox to "Oops, You need to collect "& 8-"Apple_Red" & "Red Apples. Please look for them"

So it can be done but you need to edit the string to have the variable in it instead of a string. '&' is what you use to bind two things together so all you need is to have "The text string" & variable & "last text string."
