Hello,

is it possible (or is there a way) to access and modify a variable from a string of its name:

eg :
   strdef s
   s = "INa.g"

I want to print and modify the value of the variable from s

best regards,

Use sprint to construct a command string, then use execute or execute1 to execute the command string. These hoc functions are documented in the Programmer's Reference.

Code: Select all

proc assign() {
	strdef sTmp
	sprint(sTmp,"%s = %s", $s1, $s2)
	execute(sTmp)
}

it works very well,
Thanks Ted
