Hi... i am trying to send a variable from one session to another, but can't seem to find any way to do it...
:window:#SHOW @OtherWindowVariable does not work, because it looks for that variable in the window i am trying to send it to. Any help?

From within session1 type:

:session2:#SH @session1.OtherWindowVariable

As a side note I don't think anyone figured
out how to pass a %function value to another
session without creating a variable.

iljhar was working on an idea passing %ctime
I believe 3+ months back.

someone mention my name? :)

Yeah, I was trying to do some funky stuff and couldn't get it to work so I just had to find a work-around. Maybe I'll try to play with it again, see if I can't get it to work. If I can, you know you'll be seeing a new topic about it! ;)

Hrm didn't know the @sessioname.whathaveyou worked. Oh well to answer how to pass functions and things like ctime just use a modified version of my work around for verbatim mode commands "#EXEC %expand(:TargetSession:%ctime)" also works for variables. There always is the WINDOW command too "#WINDOW TargetSession {triggerable text here %ctime}". Of course you have to use a trigger with that in order to do anything useful.

Vijilante, very nice. Thanks for pointing
that out.

Solves that problem for me!

#EXEC %expand(:sessionname:#SH Far side: %ctime)
