Prevent Resolution of Variable

Hi all,

i am using

FileWrite $0 "LangString CheckDBName {LANG_ENGLISH} $\"Please check DB Name$\""

to create a set of translation files (comes out of a database we use for tracking translations).

In the file the string will look like this:

LangString CheckDBName 1033 "Please check DB Name"

is there a way to prevent the resolution of ${LANG_ENGLISH} to 1033 ?

Thanks a lot

You mean define?

You can use this hack:

Quote:

!define dollar $
Foo ${dollar}{LANG_ENGLISH}

I tried that first but it did not work :(

Only works to escape a variable, I think.

i'm pretty sure i got it working with a definition in a script of mine - otherwise my entire installer wouldn't work, but it does

!define foo bar
detailprint "$${foo}"

Compiler: unknown variable/constant "bar" detected, ignoring (D:\Projects\MB\Installer\test.nsi:22)
Installer: $bar

detailprint "$$${foo}"
Compiler: no warnings
Installer: $bar

So no, doesn't work.
