Scripted Variables/Macro

FinalBuilder Feature Requests
1

A very nice thing would be scripted variables/macros.

So you could define a variable to be a script macro, and then put some script in the variable contens/value which is executed when the variable is read/used.

Something like:
%CurrentDate% = "return Date();"

and then you could use it with:
"Todays date is %CurrentDate%."

You could do al sorts of nifty stuff with this. You could build encrypted variables, "external" variables, autoincrement variables...

This is a feature I realy realy miss, after switching from VisualBuild to FinalBuilder. Also porting my old build scripts would be much easier.

Best regards,
Christoph

Nice Idea, we should be able to do something like this… will add it to the todo list for FB7.

We won’t be adding any major new features to FB6 from now on. The team is working hard on FB7.

Yes I know, did not expect you to add it into v6. I was just dreaming

Best regards,
