I believe I did mention something about this in the Aura thread a while ago...

uh where? I guess that might be in a topic from last year in EPS forums or Maxcoderz or I might have missed some new posts here once

Okay, here's a REAL example

In an old project of mine (theta twelve) I used lists for loading, so I had a variable for the 4 char listname, but! it twas a lot of code to indivudaly load EACH list into L1, so I did this

:"L10AL11AL12AL13AL13A...->Str1

then I did

:expr("/L/"+sub(Str1,L4-4,4->L/1/

basically, I took the list (named in Str1) added "/L/" (the little L for lists) and exicuted it, then stored it to L1

yay space savers!

I think your attempt at imitating blub icon failed litterally here

I wish there was a command to store real numbers into a string- expr( converts a string into numbers (or commands), but there is no equivalent command to store a number into a string. Of course, to store the number in, say, variable A into Str1, you could do this:

c1-->

CODE

ec1
sub(Str2,A+1,1) -> Str1c2

ec2

Where Str2 is "0123456789"

But this becomes rather slow, especially if you then have to deal with two-digit or larger numbers.

hmmmm, is it possible to have a compressed save file as a string, most games i kno use lists, but if u were to use a string...

Sure you can use strings, but it would be a bit slower to save (no real speed difference for loading), and also you only have a limited number of strings, whereas lists can have custom names.
