How to insert a calculation based on a variable in a selector?

Help
1

Hi everyone,

Using CE 2019.7
Right, so…long story short, i need to insert an integer variable (MyIntegerVariable) in two places inside a selector. The second place it is inserted i need its’ value doubled, kind of like so:

<ctrl name='{{MyIntegerVariable}}' role='row' />
<ctrl role='cell' />
<nav up='2' />
<ctrl name='drop' role='celldrop' idx='{{MyIntegerVariable * 2}}' />

I just haven’t been able to find the syntax to do so, without creating another variable.
It used to be that you would use ++ and place whatever you needed inside, like

+Convert.ToString(MyIntegerVariable * 2)+

I might have missed something at some point bc it doesn’t work like that anymore.
Any help is highly appreciated, thank you!

Please try like below and check.

idx=‘“+MyIntegerVariable*2+”’ />

@Manjuts90 thank you for the reply

It was pretty close, just had to get rid of the double quotes. So what worked was:

idx='+{{MyIntegerVariable}}*2+'
