Slide 55 of 80
Notes:
- The “center” script shows generically the following:
- how to create a CI variable “array”
- how to access a variable “array”
- the !”literal!name1” construct, which allows compound variable names to be referenced. If literal = FOO, name1 = FUM and FOOFUM = 23 then !”literal!name1” = !”FOO!name1” = !”FOOFUM” = !FOOFUM = 23
- ![rpt(“ “, fieldWidth - lenOfVar)] puts the correct number of blanks before echoing the field’s value.
- Specifically, the “count” parameter is the number of elements in the “array”.
- string!cnt, where cnt is from 1..5, defines each element in the “array”.
- !”string!cnt” references the value of each element in the “array”.
- The rpt() function places the correct number of spaces before each line is echoed.
