AutoIt update input with MsgBox line for copy/paste

Question

I have been making alot of random scripts lately, none of which are really useful for anything but they help me to understand various things and I use them for reference quite often... anyways, one of the outline button options for one of my scripts is a popup msgbox generator that generates a code that I can just copy and paste (there are alot of message boxes in the script)
but I am having trouble with the variable being displayed in the input '$codebox':

$code = "MsgBox(0, $title, $message)"  
GUICtrlSetData($codebox, $code)

this displays:

"MsgBox(0, $title, $message)"   

rather than the data stored inside the variable.

Can I contain a variable inside a variable like this? I am not really sure how else to so this.. Does anybody have a possible workaround I could take a look at? I have searched around but I came up empty.

ps: the updated script can be found here

Answer 1

Possible solution: $code = MsgBox (0,$title,$message)

But this will trigger and show the MessageBox at that point (not at GUICtrlSetData).

When you click on "ok" on the MsgBox, it returns the value of your action as per this link: http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/MsgBox.htm

Hence why $code returns 1 - which indicates that you clicked OK.

EDIT: (Now that I understand what ICE wanted to get) Use this code:

$code = 'MsgBox(0, ' & '"' & $title & '"' & ', ' & '"' & $message & '"' & ')'

Ok before you (and other) shoot me with WTF and all the " and ' usage, let me explain:

When you printed $code, it will generate:

MsgBox(0, "test", "messages and messages and messages")

Those code, as ICE would like it, is something that can be copied, and used straight away into ICE's code. Hence why the need to use single quote (') to lock in the text, and putting double quotes (") as a normal text - to generate the above code.

If I didn't put combination of single and double quotes, it will generate (something that I found out after testing):

MsgBox(0, test, messages and messages and messages)

And that code above will not work after simple copy and paste into AutoIt. You need to add those quotes (either double, or single).

AutoIT works with either single, or double quotes as the text marker, so stick with one that you are comfortable with. When you need to escape a double quote as text, use single quote as your text-marker, and vice versa.

Hope this helps.
