Resolve variables #85

Open demisjohn opened 8 years ago

demisjohn commented 8 years ago

Need a function to check variables (only if a variables node is set for the project).

A workaround to check a variable's value is as follows (From Vincent Brulis): The way I handled it was to create a temporary variables node on the same level, create a variable, set it to the expression that was found and extract the value of the variable.

Probably would modify fimm.Exec() so by default it resolves variables (if returned value is not numeric), but provide an argument eg. resolve_vars=False to prevent this if needed. Would only resolve if variable node is set in the project. (fimm.Exec wouldn't have access to that info tho... hmmm)
