Re: [Mikrotik] Using a script variable as part of a script command

Note that :execute runs asynchronously, so you can't assume that it will complete before the next line in the script (which is handy sometimes). :parse, does however. Instead of ":execute $cmd;" in your example, you would do... :local pCmd [:parse $cmd] $pCmd; I believe the trailing semicolon i
