Re: help please! when a string contains variable references

Maybe I'm just not smart enough to distill the actual problem from your
post, so (unless someone posts the answer in the mean time :)) please
elaborate: post some code and the error you are getting.

The main part I'm confused about is: what do you want to achieve? Do
you need to do something like PHP where you can say "time of the day is
$somescalar at this moment"? Or do you want the parameter to be
evaluated into one string before it's passed on writeline?

I have a variable string, called formatstring The general format of the
string is : -

"somevariable + "some string text" + some variable2 + "some more text"
... "

I want to use this variable as the argument for writeline like so : -

writeline(formatstring);

the problem i have is that writeline treats the variable formatstring
as a literal string, and doesn't realise that it includes variables
that needs replacing.

how do i get around this?
