Hi guys.

i'm trying run a function that checks if a variable name exists, for example, i want to check if there's a variable called "potato", if so, then, the variable called "potato" equals to "chips".

Thanks

You cannot do that since variable names have no meaning except during compilation.

You question is open ended. When you say variable names does it mean within a class or a text contained in some sort of an editor. Please be very explicit for members to help you out.
