Get and Set variable functions in JScript

Fri, 22 Jul 2016 08:11:26 GMT

Does anyone know what is the correct code for getting and setting variable value in JScript?

I use the following code which is not working (obviously):

function getVariable(varName) {

var doc = ActiveDocument;

var vget = doc.Variables(varName);

getVariable = vget.Value;

}

function setVariable(varName, varValue) {

var doc = ActiveDocument;

var vset = doc.Variables(varValue);

vset.SetVariable(varName, varValue);

doc = null;

}

Thank you very much in advance.

Try something like this:

function setVariable(varName, varValue) {

var doc = ActiveDocument;

var vset = doc.Variables(varName);

vset.SetContent varValue;

doc = null;

}

It fails to parse. Unless I change this vset.SetContent varValue;

to this vset.SetContent (varValue);

But that doesn't help as well...

Some modifications and setVariable works, but how to make getVariable work?

function setVariable(varName, varValue) {

var doc = ActiveDocument;

var v = doc.Variables(varName)

v.SetContent(varValue, true);

}

Maybe:

function getVariable(varName) {

var doc = ActiveDocument;

var vget = doc.Variables(varName);

getVariable = vget.GetContent.String;

}
