$set¶
Usage: $set(name,value)
Category: assignment
Description:
Sets the variable name
to value
. The value of a variable is available to
other script functions if it is enclosed between ‘%’ characters (e.g.: %name%
).
If name
is another variable (e.g.: %indirect%
) the value of the variable
will be used as name
. This allows the creation of dynamically named variables.
Note
To create a variable which can be used for the file naming string, but
which will not be written as a tag in the file, prefix the variable name with
an underscore. %something%
will create a “something” tag; %_something%
will not.
Example:
The following statements will return the values indicated:
$set(comment,Testing) ==> "Testing" will be written to the "comment" tag
$set(_hidden,Testing) ==> "_hidden" variable will not be written
$set(_base,redirect)
$set(%_base%,Testing) ==> "Testing" will be written to the "redirect" tag
