Re: Global Variable

[Brian G <brian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just to rabble rouse....

env["xx"] -> global array .. lol

Global arrays/collections are possible, they are variables I guess, 
could be any type of array

class globalValueArray
' Gambas class file
Static varfile As New Collection(gb.ignorecase)
Static Public Sub _init()
    varfile.default = ""
End
Static Public Sub _get(name As String) As Variant
    Return varfile[name]
End
Static Public Sub _put(value As Variant, name As String)
    varfile[name] = value
End
end class

Public Sub Main()
    Print "Hello world"
    Print Env["SHELL"]  ' global array

    ' Global Array/Collections
    globalValueArray["hexit"] = "hello world"
    Print globalValueArray["hexit"]
End
