replace name with num value

andy_c

Hi,

I have a slight problem, i have a randomGenerator witch gives me a number between 0 and 200. And i have 200 routines named "routine1, routine2" etc. And i want to do the rutin by random from the number i get from the randomGen. So to my question:

How do i replace the number 1 in routne1 with the value i get from my randomGen?

you could make a routine that accepts your number and use test / case to run each of your individual routines.. 

TEST RandonNum

CASE 1 :

Routine1;

CASE 2:

Routine2;

ENDTEST

little bit tedious.. but without know what your doing with the 200 routines i cant think of much better.

Hello,

You can use something called late binding to do this in a much simpler way. Please see the following example code:

 

randomNumber :=GetRandomNumber;

routineName := "Routine" + NumToStr(randomNumber, 0);

%routineName%;

 

This will call the routine with the name "Routine1" (if randomNumber is 1). 

 

Good luck!

Hi

You can use

CallByVar - Call a procedure by a variable

Example

reg1 := 2;

CallByVar "proc", reg1;
