hello,
I have a function name in a variable, and I would like to call it, some one know how to do ?
example :

Code:

EXPORT myfct(x)

BEGIN

  PRINT(x);

END;

EXPORT test(fct)

BEGIN

  local call:=fct+"(123)";

  EVAL(call);

END;

Now, If I call test("myfct"), Iwant the function myfct to be called (with parameter 123)
But it does not works as I wanted :
it returns "myfct(123)" but does not execute it...
if someone can help me..
Thank you.

I think
EVAL(EXPR(call))
Or perhaps just
EXPR(call)
Will do what you want.

Hi StephenG1CMZ,
Thank you very much, it's OK.

By the way, a note for thoses who may want to use such callback trick : if you want to use string as function parameters, you have to protect them with backslashs (\").

For example par2 accept string abcd

Code:

EXPORT myfct(par1, par2)

BEGIN

  PRINT(par1+" and "+par2);

END;

EXPORT test(fct)

BEGIN

  local call:=fct+"(123,\"abcd\")";

  EVAL(call);

END;
