Re: Programming with Variables

[Ray Henry <rehenry-at-up.net>]

Hallo Heino

When the interpreter encounters the # sign it assumes the next value is 
the variable number.   If it encounters an = after the number it puts the 
next value into that variable.  If it does not encounter the = sign then 
it reads back the current value of the variable.

If you are trying to read the position of the x axis and enter that into 
a variable, you will have to find the x position at the time and then 
load it.  In the example you gave.  G00 x100 would mean that x would be 
at 100 so the assignment would be 

n100 g00x100
n110 #1000=100

I believe that is the only way to place a value of the position of the x 
axis into a variable.

Hope this helps.
