retrieve from array for input parameter doesn't work

Question

I want to do something like..

position := [100, 200]
Click, position[1], position[2]

but the above doesn't work, no error, but doesn't do click

Click, %position[1]%, %position[2]%

above gives error, variable name contains an invalid character

position := [100, 200]
p1 := position[1]
p2 := position[2]
Click, %p1%, %p2%

above works, but I don't want to assign dummy variables each time I need to click..

any help? thanks!

This will do what you want:

click % position[1] . "," . position[2]

The % must be followed by a space or tab. It causes the command to use expression mode.

More information on "expression mode" can be found under Help > Variables and Expressions > Variables > Retrieving the contents of variables.
