Converting to string

Questions & Answers
1

Hey!

I want to convert the name of a variable to a string, not the variable it stores!

for example:

public string Istorehello;
public string hello;

now I want to set the variable “hello” to a string, (not the value),
so that we would get following:

void Update()
{
Istorehello = “hello”;
}

My problem is that I just know how to handle here with the value of that string, not with itselve…

Thanks for each answer!

Here you go :

using UnityEngine;
using System;
using System.Linq.Expressions;

public class NewBehaviourScript : MonoBehaviour 
{

    static string GetVariableName<T>(Expression<Func<T>> expr)
    {
        var body = (MemberExpression)expr.Body;

        return body.Member.Name;
    }

	void Start () 
    {
        int test = 0;
        print(GetVariableName(() => test));
	}
}
