How can I increment a macro value?

[David Hoffer]

I have a project macro (BUILD_VER) that I want to increment after every build. How can I do this?

I am trying to use the Macro action where I set its value. If I set its value to %BUILD_VER% +1 it changes the value to be "5 + 1". How can I make it evaluate the math first?

Use a script expression (indicated by brackets):

[%BUILD_VER% + 1]

Also see the Increment Counter step in the Advanced.bld sample.

That works great!

Thanks.

I need something similar-I have a macro %BUILD_VER% having the initial value 6.4.1010.0 (so it does not contain only numbers).
I need to update its value after every succesful build by incrementing the 3rd field (6.4.1010.0->6.4.1011.0).How can I do this?
