Execute script by "Call" instruction, when the name of the script is in a variable.

Question

I have a technical question, I hope you o somebody help me, because I was searching any answer in internet and I could not any answer.

I am in a script and I must call other script, to call the script I use “Call Login” senetence.

I want to have the script name in a variable, so when I execute the following senetence the TestComplete give an exception.

Dim vScript

vScript = “Login”

Call vScript

Do you now to execute the script when the name of it is in a variable?

Thanks,

Hi Ruben

Alexei's suggestion to use Evaluate was good if you need to evaluate functions. You can use an Execute statement to call subroutines in VBscript.

Also check if the routines are in another unit.

Also, in VBScript, it is Eval() but not Evaluate() (like it is in JScript and DelphiScript).

You&nbsp;could use the script name as a parameter something like this vScript = "Login" Call RunScript (vScript) Sub RunScript (strName) &nbsp; Select Case strName &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Case "Login" &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Call Login &nbsp; End Select End Sub &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

Hi Rubén,Evaluate() function should do what you need.Something like this:Dim vScriptvScript = “Login”Evaluate("Call " &amp; vScript)
