Replacing GlobalNames with Global Values

[Terry Judd]

Something like...

put merge("[[gGlobal1]]*[[gGlobal2]]/[[gGlobal3]]") into tEquation

    Granted, this may be too esoteric for me to understand, but I can’t seem to make this do what I want to do
    
    Let’s say that I have 3 globals: gGlobal1 = 10.1, gGlobal2 = 20.2 and gGlobal3 = 30.3  
    
    I have an expression like       gGlobal1*gGlobal2/gGlobal3 
    
    I want to transform this to the expression     10.1*20.2/30.3. 
    
    Seems simple enough and I can do it in my usual inelegant way, but there must be a simpler way to do this???
    
    Sorry for my confusion.
