SVAR

String variable that can store and return the string values you specify.

 

Syntax

Description

SVAR n = "text"

Sets the value of the specified string variable.

SVAR n

Returns the value stored in the specified string variable.

 

The SVAR command syntax uses these parameters:

Parameter

Description

n

An integer from 1 to 100.

This is the unique identifier for the string variable.

"text"

The string value stored in the string variable.

This can be any text string expression.

 

The default value of a new SVAR is not always a blank string. For this reason, it is recommended that you initialize each SVAR in your template by setting it to a specific value (such as "") at the beginning of the template. You can initialize specific SVARs or initialize all SVARs and NVARs.

 

Example:

SVAR 3 = "Test"

 

Stores the characters "Test" in string variable 3.

SVAR 3

Returns the text string "Test".

 

Example:

SVAR 1 = CONCAT "Test " , "String"

 

Stores the characters "Test String" in string variable 1.

SVAR 1

Returns the text string "Test String".

 

Example:

SVAR 30 = [A1]

Stores the string value of cell [A1] in string variable 30.

 

SVAR 30

Returns the string value stored in string variable 30.

 

 

Example:

SVAR 3 = "A2"

Stores the characters "A2" in string variable 3.

 

GOTO [SVAR 3]

The template will go to cell [A2].

Note: Do not use the equals sign (=) to compare SVAR values with text or with other SVAR values, because this test will return incorrect values.
