If you still need to find them out then check Foxpro API and particularly topics where NTI is included. I think NTI is what "list memory like" uses to find them out.

>>Recently I created an application that displays stored 'memorizer' variables. Essentially I used the RESTORE FROM command here. All variables started with 'M_' and had consequtive numbers, like M_1, M_2, etc. Therefore, a FOR/NEXT was enough for me. So, my job was somewhat easier than yours.

>>>I knew about the List Memory as well as the Save To. I was checking to see if there was a better way that I had overlooked. I'm thinking I will have to dig into the source programs to pass the values I need in a "clean" fashion. This function has to run efficiently in a mtdll so I don't want to be writing and reading to files or parsing a memo field just to get the values.

>>>>>I have an unknown set of variables that will be in scope in a function and will have a common prefix. How can I identify all of the variables and get their values (actually, all I need are the values)? I played around with using “save to” function but I feel like I’m missing something obvious.
