2.4 Using variables (Previous) (Next)
 

 

Variables in TagMaster are scope-independent. That is, any variable defined in a Build file is then effective throughout any other build files run by the Build file that created the variable, or files that caused the creating Build file to run. All TagMaster variables are globals and hold whatever value was assigned to them last.

With that in mind, it is important that, if running numerous build files at a time, you name your variables uniquely enough that loops or running values might not get confused.

set variableName to thistext

Variable names are no longer that 255 characters long, and may contain no more than 65,536 characters at a time. Also, for ease of use, variable names are case-independent. That means that you are free to change variable name capitalization from one use to another.

Variables may be assigned any value, such as:

database fields

set myVariable i:1

other variables

set myVariable myData

strings

set myVariable "thisData"
