temporary variable
 
is there a way to make a temporary variable within a script? I have a looooooooooooooooooong #sw that is already pretty bad, and instead of including a computation in each ifthen, I would like to run the calc once, assign the value to a temp variable, and then have the #sw refer to the temp variable.

what I hope to achieve

Code:
tempvar=%right(%item(%exec("%countlist(@sniffsRawCounter)"),@petsRowNumber),%match(%item(%exec("%countlist(@sniffsRawCounter)"),@petsRowNumber),"="))

#SW (tempvar>0)AND(tempvar<4) {Unskilled} (tempvar>3)AND(tempvar<10) {A tyro} (tempvar>9)AND(tempvar<18) {A novice}........



this is what I could end up with if I don't

Code:
#SW (%right(%item(%exec("%countlist(@sniffsRawCounter)"),@petsRowNumber),%match(%item(%exec("%countlist(@sniffsRawCounter)"),@petsRowNumber),"="))>0)AND(%right(%item(%exec("%countlist(@sniffsRawCounter)"),@petsRowNumber),%match(%item(%exec("%countlist(@sniffsRawCounter)"),@petsRowNumber),"="))<4) {Unskilled} (%right(%item(%exec("%countlist(@sniffsRawCounter)"),@petsRowNumber),%match(%item(%exec("%countlist(@sniffsRawCounter)"),@petsRowNumber),"="))>3)AND(%right(%item(%exec("%countlist(@sniffsRawCounter)"),@petsRowNumber),%match(%item(%exec("%countlist(@sniffsRawCounter)"),@petsRowNumber),"="))<10) {A tyro} (%right(%item(%exec("%countlist(@sniffsRawCounter)"),@petsRowNumber),%match(%item(%exec("%countlist(@sniffsRawCounter)"),@petsRowNumber),"="))>9)AND(%right(%item(%exec("%countlist(@sniffsRawCounter)"),@petsRowNumber),%match(%item(%exec("%countlist(@sniffsRawCounter)"),@petsRowNumber),"="))<18) {A novice}........

If you mean that you want to get rid of it when you're done using it,
#UNVAR

Or, you can create one that has only local scope within the script:
#LOCAL

As Tarn said. Use "#LOCAL {tempVar}" then reference it with $tempVar

if you don't define it with #LOCAL it will dump the tempVar once the inital {script} is closed, so any further calls on it will be a 'new' tempVar and have no value.
