Re: Watching my Variables
Pat I am storing my saved file as an XML file. I restore the variable name into tglobal, restore the value into avar, then : do "put avar into" && tglobal The do statement also works for an array variable, but I do a loop first putting each value into avar[tKey] where tkey is each (stored) key name Martin On 10/06/05, Pat Trendler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Martin, > Yes, it certainly wouldn't work in your example.

Re: Watching my Variables
Martin, Yes, it certainly wouldn't work in your example. The global would have to exist in the first place to have a value even if it was empty. I'm interested in how you are using 'do' here. Is the saved file a rev stack with the globals stored as custom properties, or is it a txt file. How do you use the 'do'?

The thing is I want my standalone to be able to open a saved file and along with data it should restore the values of all the global variables. So the way I though of is to store the globalnames together with their values in the save file. And to open a file and restore the values of global vars I use the 'do' form as expressed by Dennis. In such a case the method used by Pat would not work (of course it can be used for other purposes). The documentation says that 'do' is quite slow as it compiles in real time. Its not too slow for me but I'm not loading a terribly big file.
