nested variables

[subtledoctor]

I feel like I should know this already, but: can Weidu handle variables within variable names?  I'm doing this:

OUTER_SET fighter_sp_min_level = 1
OUTER_SET fighter_ma_min_level = 3
OUTER_SET fighter_hi_min_level = 6
OUTER_SET fighter_gm_min_level = 9

OUTER_SET ranger_sp_min_level = 1
OUTER_SET ranger_ma_min_level = 3
OUTER_SET ranger_hi_min_level = 6
OUTER_SET ranger_gm_min_level = 9

[etc.-

ACTION_FOR_EACH class IN ~fighter~ ~ranger~ ~paladin~ ~cleric~ ~druid~ ~shaman~ ~thief~ ~bard~ ~mage~ ~sorcerer~ ~monk~ BEGIN
  SNPRINT 2 shortclass ~%class%~
  COPY ~%MOD_FOLDER%/file.d~ ~weidu_external/%MOD_FOLDER%/file%shortclass%.d~
	REPLACE_TEXTUALLY ~%class%_sp_min_level~ ~%"class"_sp_min_level%~
	REPLACE_TEXTUALLY ~%class%_ma_min_level~ ~%"class"_ma_min_level%~
	REPLACE_TEXTUALLY ~%class%_hi_min_level~ ~%"class"_hi_min_level%~
	REPLACE_TEXTUALLY ~%class%_gm_min_level~ ~%"class"_gm_min_level%~
END

So I want to replace ~fighter_sp_min_level~ with ~%fighter_sp_min_level%~, and ~ranger_sp_min_level~ with ~%ranger_sp_min_level%~, etc.

I vaguely recall reading that any of the 'quote' delimiters can be used to parse variables; and the the use of %% is simply convention. Is that right? Does Weidu see "class" as a variable within the %"class"_sp_min_level% variable name?

Or do I have to manually repeat the REPLACEments for every class?

You will probably want to add an EVAL on that.

[subtledoctor]

But, REPLACE_TEXTUALLY already evaluates variables. 

If you add EVAL to a command that already evaluates variables, does that tell it to evaluate multiple nested variables?

[Ardanis]

Yes, but not deep enough.

It does. You can set a variable to nested value this way, but I can't say for sure if it also works when specifying which variable to set. Probably not an issue with REPLACE_TEXTUALLY, though.

Also this is missing a %:

~%class%_sp_min_level%~

Actually had one too many. Fixed it now.
