[klim]

sometimes the answer is soooooo easy and soooooo far away.
thank you very much.

i've again a problem with a variable in a variable

Loop, %NumberOfDataDrives%
{
DataDriveCounter+=1
Menu, ListMenu, Add, &Files from % LocationData%DataDriveCounter%, CommandList
}

now it's also not working with your hint, please need help again

[Delusion]

try this...it should work: (untested)

Loop, %NumberOfDataDrives%
{
DataDriveCounter+=1
Menu, ListMenu, Add, &Files from % LocationData . DataDriveCounter, CommandList
}

or

Loop, %NumberOfDataDrives%
{
DataDriveCounter+=1
Menu, ListMenu, Add,% "&Files from " LocationData . DataDriveCounter, CommandList
}

[klim]

thank you very much, to bad that none of that was working.
i simply removed the static text, now it looks like this and is working:

Menu, ListMenu, Add,% LocationData%DataDriveCounter%, CommandList

[klim]

now it is working like it shoud:

Loop, %NumberOfDataDrives%
{
DataDriveCounter+=1
DriveNumberForListCommand=%DataDriveCounter%
MsgBox, % LocationData%DataDriveCounter%
temp=% LocationData%DataDriveCounter%
Menu, ListMenu, Add, Data %DataDriveCounter% : %temp%, CommandList
}

[jaco0646]

Loop, %NumberOfDataDrives%

{

 DataDriveCounter+=1

 Menu, ListMenu, Add,% "&Files from " LocationData%DataDriveCounter%, CommandList

}

[klim]

Is a dynamic variable possible in any way:

global ReadingStatusDrive%DriveLetter%

[jaco0646]

More than possible: dynamic variables are common; however they cannot be declared in functions.

...it is not currently possible to declare a dynamic variable such as global Array%i%.

If you explain what you're tying to do, there is almost certainly a workaround.

[Lexikos]

klim, an existing global variable/array does not need to be declared. If you need to create a global array, it must be done via a global subroutine or assume-global function.

Within a function, any dynamic variable reference such as Array%i% always resolves to a local variable unless no variable of that name exists, in which case a global is used if it exists. If neither exists and the usage requires the variable to be created, it is created as a local variable unless the assume-global mode is in effect.

For example

GGV(var){ ;GetGlobalVar
   global
   local __TEMP
   __TEMP:=%var%
   Return __TEMP
}
SGV(var,value=""){ ;SetGlobalVar
   global
   %var%:=value
   Return
}
