Condition Using Compound Variables

[eyegrokit]

Am building an A.I. construct that can save people email and phone number. It is assigned in a routene as follows: Input

[owner]'s (email) is [[owner]_Email].

When recalling the information, the following is the input

What is [owner]'s (email)?

But the construct should be smart enough to remark if an email has or has not been assigned to the owner. The condition for those remarks are

vars["[owner]_Email"] != null (if has been assigned)

vars["[owner]_Email"] == null (if not)

But the process currently always processes not. (Conditions were removed (for testing) to assure that the correct variable could be recalled).

So what is the correct syntax to use conditions with compound variables?

You must use :

Test this
<?csharp
vars[vars["owner"] + "_Email"] = "1";
?>
To give a value to the var.

Then condition like:

vars[vars["owner"]+"_Email"] != "1"
vars[vars["owner"]+"_Email"] == "1"

Following on (slightly sideways) from the last post:

If you don't like c#, then why not initially set it up so that [[owner]_Email] contains a string such as "no email address provided".
That way you wouldn't even need to test for the presence of an email address or not - the answer would always make sense.
You can assign a default value to a string using [[owner]_Email:no email supplied]
This will contain the default string 'no email supplied' until a value is defined.
Thus, once the email has been input the 'default' value is ignored and the call will return the email address.
