Assign Step In-Place Editing

To edit an Assign script step:

  1. Select the step in the Script Steps table.
  2. Edit the step parameters as follows:
    • Session: This column displays no session at all.
    • Return variable: This column displays the name of the script variable that is assigned a value or a Tcl expression.
    • A new variable can be specified by clicking into the column and defining it in-place.

      Alternatively, click the button that displays a drop-down pane listing all defined variables, then click the button to select a variable.

    • Command String: This column displays the numeric value or the Tcl expression assigned to the variable.
    • Click into the column and define an expression by editing it in-place.

      Alternatively, click the button and create a valid expression using the Expression Builder GUI, as described in Using the Composer Expression Builder.

Examples:

   Assign i 10 // number assignment
 Assign str "string with spaces" // string assignment
 Assign a $b       //variable assignment
 Assign lst {1 2 3 4} // list assignment
 Assign lst {1 2 {one two} 3} //composite list assignment
 Assign result [expr {$a +$b}] // expression assignment
 Assign lst [list a b c d] // tcl command assignment
 Assign path [pwd]         // tcl command assignment
 Assign time [clock seconds] //tcl command assignment
