two variables in one variable

Hi!

I'm trying to use two variables in one variable. It is possible to use a variable in the Value column. However, I can't use 2 variables to show the result.

The script (variables x and y being different numbers):

store | 1 | a
store | 5 | b
while | ${a}<${b}
storeEval | ${x}-${y} | difference${a}
storeEval | ${a}+1 | a
endWhile

Above is working fine. I'm able to get the different variables created when using the 'direct' name of the variable:
echo | ${difference1}

What I want is somthing like:
echo | ${difference${a}}

this doesn't work. I have tried different variations, but nothing I tried did the trick.

Does anybody know if somthing like this is possible in Selenium IDE?

thx!

Try:
echo | ${difference}${a}

I tried it and it gives back the two variables. Say 'difference' = 4 and 'a' = 3 then 
echo | ${difference}${a}
gives back: 43


What I want is to show the content of the variabe ${difference3} but using ${a} for the number.

I'm confused on what you are trying to do. 

The only thing I can think of having you add to your steps is:

storeEval | difference${a}| difference
echo  |${difference}

If that's not it, can you give me an example of what you want to show, given 'difference'=4 and 'a'=3

The extra step is something I did consider but didn't know what the step should look like. Your suggestion is not what I want. Your suggestion gives "difference3" as result.

What I want is the content of the variable 'difference3'. So, using the above script 4 variables are created (difference1, difference2, difference3, difference4). Each loop has different 'x' and 'y' values resulting in different sums say 10,20,30,40. That means the variables created contain:

difference1=10
difference2=20
difference3=30
difference4=40

I can get the content of the variables using:
echo | ${difference1}
echo | ${difference2}
etc.

What I'm trying to accomplish is using a variable for the number. like this:
store | 1| x
echo | ${difference{x}} {<-- this doesn't work)
echo: 10

I want this so I can make part of my script general. I now fixed it by adding an extra step to my script:
storeEval | ${difference1} | difference

inspired by your solution, so thank you ccox!!

I'm still curious though if what I want is possible.

I get what you're saying now.  I'll see if I can think up a better solution.  I tried a few things, but am seeing what you are.

Hi wouter,

You can use 2 variables at in single code as below.

storeEval | storedVars['difference${x}'] | difference

It will surely work as you need.

If it doesn't work, then please install STOREDVARS addon of selenium ide. Then try to run this. It will surely work.

so simple  . Thx, this works!
