I'm trying to do this:

#RENAME CommandToAdd CommandNumber@CommandCounter

The problem is, it doesn't evaluate @CommandCounter. I have tried putting %eval() around @CommandCounter, and it makes the new alias name CommandNumber%eval(@CommandCounter). I tried turning on "Expand Variables" in prefs, i tried putting [] around the variable, none of these work. Anyone have a suggestion? The only thing I have got to work is to do this:

#ADD CommandCounter 1
#VAR CommandName {~#RENAME CommandToAdd CommandNumber@CommandCounter}
%exec(@CommandName)

This seems overly complicated though.

#RENAME performs no expansion on any of its arguments. The best way to force expansion when you need it but the command doesn't do it is to use a combination of #EXEC and %concat.

#EXEC {%concat("#RENAME CommandToAdd CommandNumber",@CommandCounter)}
