Just discovered this, but it's pretty simple...
Code:

%a = 1111
%b = 2222
PARSE "%a;%b", %b|%a
INFO a = %a@cr()@cr()b = %b


Cheers, Mac Smile

You can also do something like this, but the way above is shorter.

Code:
%a = 1111
%b = 2222
%c = %a
%d = %b
%a = %d
%b = %c
INFO a = %a@cr()@cr()b = %b

For people who don't know it:

If you want to swap values, you can also use shift, BUT the first variable (%1) will be emptied.
Handy if you make a program that uses a command-line input...

Code:
%1 = 1
%2 = 2
%3 = 3
%4 = 4
%5 = 5

info %1 - %2 - %3 - %4 - %5

shift

info %1 - %2 - %3 - %4 - %5

shift

info %1 - %2 - %3 - %4 - %5

Well... the idea of using PARSE here was to swap two values
on one line of code with no extra variable(s) needed.

Until now, I've used one temporary var similiar to this:

%%tmp = %a
%a = %b
%b = %%tmp
%%tmp = ""

I know, and now it's only on one single line!
