Title: File name variable
Post by: ScrubMuncher on 24 Apr 2004, 23:09:02

Hi all,

I've searched, and diddled around the posts, and can't find any reference or method of building a string variable to represent a filename to execute.

Looking for something like:

_filenum = _filenum+1
[] exec "testfile%1", filenum  (just dreamed this example up.. might work,  ::)

Hope my syntax makes sense.  I'd like to execute testfile1, testfile2, testfile3... Probably not in order, which is why I need a simple variable to count, and build the filename to execute the available sequential files (counting the files is handled already, I just need to emulate some STR functions that I don't think OFP has)

Any reference or tidbit would be greatly appreaciated.. This is going to be for police type missions or ambient activity in standard missions.

Thanks again,

Scrub

Try:

_filenum = _filenum + 1
_script = format ["testfile%1.sqs",_filenum]

[] exec _script

:note - i added .sqs at the end to make it look like:

 testfileXX.sqs

~S~ CD

Mr. Death, most helpful! Thank you.  I was just was experimenting with that very thing, and you saved me a bunch of syntax hassle. Much appreciated. :thumbsup:

Wow, the level of service you guys create is better than most first tier companies.. And no, I'm not kidding.  Thanks OFPEC.
