Not in the way you describe.

The closest is to Gosub a procedure based on a string with If..Endifs.

That looks like something that could be done in Perl, but not DarkBasic. I think TDK is right. If...Endif or case statements would be your best bet.

I don't know anything about Lua scripting but that may also be a possibility.

You could also do this with a SWITCH CASE statement, & then code it into your own Gosub Function like GosubStr(string value).

Ensure you specify a DEFAULT CASE or some error checking in case the string provided doesn't exist as a label.

I'll try to see if there is a DLL out there to do this. I'm sure Ian M has one (As he seems to have a DLL for everything!)


I'm not at a computer right now with DBpro installed and I don't want to give you code that doesn't work. I'll be home in about 2 hours, and I'll edit an example in to this post.

Don't it. Ever.

This looks similar to the old "atlter to procede to" command that was removed from COBOL over 25 years ago.

It is one of the fastes ways to make your code unreadabel and destroy any semblance of structure.

But, I could be wrong.


Whatever...
