Hi David,


> the variable totalclients is set to 2 in the text file.

We assume you have stored 3 passwords (password0, password1 and

password2)

and 3 URLs (url0, url1 and url2)


If each of the passwords has only numbers with no spaces, symbols or

letters then you can use the following:

   If (loginpassword = Eval ( "password" & i ))

otherwise you must evaluate as a string with

   If (loginpassword eq Eval ( password&i ))


If the URL is the same except for the ending then you could use such as

help0, help1 and help2 with 

Set Variable: "url" = "help"

Get URL (Eval ( url & i ), window="_blank") might be correct


But if distinct URLs are stored in url0, url1, and url2 such as

Set Variable: "url0" = "index1.htm"

Set Variable: "url1" = "index2.htm"

Set Variable: "url2" = "index3.htm"


then you need:

Get URL (Eval ("url" & i ), window="_blank")


Eval first concatenates strings then returns the value of the resulting

string.
