So I have been trying to make a plugin that can take the selected executor variable number and return the number into a macro that I can load from.

However I have found there's an issue with the spacing in the assign macro line where I can't get the space between the "load" keyword and the getvar variable to string together properly with out the getvar variable number being recognised as part of the macro place number, or that's what I assume is happening.

Example:


function main()
local getvar = gma.show.getvar("SELECTEDEXEC")
gma.cmd("store macro 1.108")
gma.cmd("Assign macro 1.108" .."/cmd=" .."Load " ..getvar)
end
return main

This outputs the following

"Assign Macro 1.108 1.4.116 /cmd=Load" instead of
"Assign Macro 1.108 /cmd= Load 1.4.116"

*Edit*

I have found a solution, I needed to put spaces either side of the "load and "executor" keywords as well as putting a "\"" infront of the "/cmd=".

function main()
  gma.cmd("assign macro 1.108" .. "/cmd=\"" .. " load " .. " Executor " .. gma.show.getvar("SELECTEDEXEC"))
end
return main
