Hello...

I am trying to get this to work, and I was hoping to have someone help me figure out the small detail I am missing. The idea is this, take two strings, put them together and have it be the name of a previously declared property. Ideally the end result of the sample script would be "This Worked", not "Great_Test".

property Average_Test : "Please Don't Work"
property Good_Test : "Shouldn't Work"
property Great_Test : "This worked"

set this to "Great"
set test to "_Test"

set thistest to (this & test)

log thistest

The ultimate ending will be used in AppleScript Studio, but it would be nice to have it work in both Studio and non-Studio apps. Does anybody know a way to convert a string to a previously declared variable?

Thanks in advance,


Chris
