I'm new to zmud, and this has been bugging me... For the contents of an alias, I have:

#loop 1,9 {
#key KEY%i {test %i %char}
}

It _does_ manage to set macros for KEY1 through KEY9... however, I'd expect it to set them to "test 1 Charactername", but it instead sets them to "test %{i} Charactername". I find it strange that it correctly expands %char, but not %i or %repeatnum... any idea why this is the case and what I can do about it? Thanks!

When I test it in mine, it expands neither. Looks like you are going to have to use the #EXEC concatenation trick to force expansion. This should do it:

#LOOP 1,9 {#EXEC %concat("#KEY KEY", %i, " {test ", %i, " ", %char, "}")}

Thank you! This seems to work very well... I'll be sure to remember it. :)
