Global Variables

[AssetHound]

I'm having a little trouble with global variables and can't seem to find an answer in the boards.

eval("var top"+getSymbol());
setGlobalValue (eval("top"+getSymbol()),xHigh);
eval("var btm"+getSymbol());
setGlobalValue (eval("btm"+getSymbol()),xLow);

These statements seem to work fine, and all variables are defined and have values. When I try to reference the global variables in another script (same chart for the moment), I get "undefined."

I am testing this after hours using 1-minute charts, but it is intended to run during the day. How do I reference the global variables in separate scripts? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

You don't need the eval as var as I can tell..

Just create a Global Variable ID (label) and then 'Feed' it the data.

var GV1ID = "var top"+getSymbol();
setGlobalValue (GV1ID,xHigh);

var GV1ID = "var btm"+getSymbol();
setGlobalValue (GV2ID,xLow); 

Then, to pull the Gvars...

var GV1ID = "var top"+getSymbol();
//  IDs have to match EXACTLY.
  getGlobalValue(GV1ID);

var GV1ID = "var btm"+getSymbol();
  getGlobalValue(GV2ID); 

Hope this helps.
