Hi,

I have a variable that holds array of numbers. i.e.
var = 1|3|19|23|45
I'm getting value of this variable using %comget

and a command that inside the script performs
#FORALL @var {enter %i}

Now the problem is, that if I'm setting variable var type to be
"String List" #FORALL cycle works flawlessly no matter what
I do there. However next time i'm doing
#var var %comget(bla bla bla)
the type for var is being set to "Auto Type"
and #FORALL doesn't work anymore. Tho it still holds
list of items similar to first one.

Can anyone give me a suggestion how to force variable type
to be string list? And i'm also wondering is this a bug or a
feature?

Thanks in advance,
Jurz

#FORALL @var {#EXEC {enter %i}}

I think you are not getting my point.
#FORALL @var ir not getting executed if variable is of type "Auto Type"
but it does work if @var is of type "String List"

#CALL %vartype I believe

Also I am not sure what you are using %comget for. If you are actually retrieving a value from a COM object it is likely returning either a single typeable value, another COM object, or a variant array. In the case of a variant array you have to %arrget and related functions, for a COM object you would have to refer to its documentation as to usage, and single values would either be a string or number that the autotyping would handle. So perhaps you should provide what your actually doing instead of "bla bla bla".

Thanks for help everyone, %vartype helped

Vijilante, %comget bla bla bla returns string that looks like 5|1|4|6
