Hubitat C7 WebCoRE 1.0.87

I'm trying to define local variables to build a string into file names.

The file names incorporate the clock hour {hourtick} = '01', '02', .. '12'

There are two files for each hour so I pick '01' or '02' at random, assign to {ticker} and concatenatie hourtick + '_' + ticker.

I can concatenate in several languages but I don't understand WebCoRE behavior. It appears to inject the variable definition into the variable contents. I don't understand how to specify or control that.

The Sonos command is only for debugging - it's 4 AM so it should speak "04/02". Instead it speaks the definition of {clockr}, as it appears in the red trace line.

I'm posting the code

clokr

a trace

clokr_trace
clokr_trace1096×733 93.5 KB

and the variable states.

clokr_vbls
clokr_vbls940×274 14.1 KB

Thanks for any help you might offer.

I just build strings in the expression. Anything not in quotes resolves to a variable value.

Set the variable to the expression:

hourtick" "ticker".mp3"

Edit: You also don't need the @clokr, it would just be clokr for a local variable.
