Use 'Handle String Operation' on Compiler variables

[NewsArchive]

Hi all!

I want to change a compiler variable from 2.8.3.1 to 2_8_3_1

Am i Right, that the function, Handle string oprations' do not work on
Compiler variables?

Its really good on runtime variables

Any suggestions?

Best regards

The "Handle String Operation..." script function is an installer function,
not a compiler directive. A compiler variable is processed at compile time
(when you build the setup.exe) and not at installer runtime.

But you can develop your own tool to handle it:

http://www.lindersoft.com/projects/convertcompilervarvalue.zip

1. Compile the writecompvar.sb8. This will generate a tool to convert a
value in form of "2.8.3.1" to "2_8_3_1"

2. Compile the convertcompilervarvalue.sb8 demo project. It demonstrates
how to convert a compiler variable value from "2.8.3.1" to "2_8_3_1".

Does this help?
