Variable Named Variable Values?

[zryip theSlug]

Hi Rick,

You can also use the do command:

set the itemdel to "="
repeat for each lines tLine in tVariablesAndDataList
   do "put item 2 of tLine into" && item 1 of tLine
end repeat

where tVariablesAndDataList contains:
VarUserID=“3124"
VarUserName=“John”
VarUserEmail=“John at yahoo.com”
