ESP Basic became my favorite programing language! I just love it. But every time when working on bigger projects I hit the ceiling because of the limit in number of variables. I'm aware that introducing local/global variables would be against Basic principles , but please - give me a way to do a memclear without deleting some "global variables".

Anything will be highly appreciated!

Some ideas:
global X = 66 'X will survive memclear
memclear Y 'Just Y will be removed to free one variable

Thx and good luck!

See the following. This will store a variable to flash and return in back again after a memclear.

Code: Select allwrite("filename1",myvariable)
memclear
myvariable = read("filename1")
