| Jan 27, 2014 at 5:24 | comment | added | Steve D | But then how would one use this mechanism to store something in the notebook from within a function? So that it is accessible from outside the function? | |

@SteveD, GetFromNotebook[name] doesn't make sense if it's outside the function as you pasted
|

| Jan 27, 2014 at 5:20 | comment | added | Steve D | Yes, the function only does one thing (I am trying to keep it simple): it is passed a name, and tries to store that name in the notebook. For example, name="test";StoreInNotebook[name];GetFromNotebook[name] works just fine. It is the fact that StoreInNotebook is called from inside a function that is the problem I can't fix. | |

@SteveD doesn't StoreInNotebook receive symbols and not strings? Furthermore, without a parenthesis there, your function ends at StoreInNotebook[name].

| Jan 27, 2014 at 3:50 | comment | added | Steve D | The following (after your code above) shows the problem: func[name_String] := StoreInNotebook[name]; func["test"]; GetFromNotebook[name] The reason I asked is because I have a function that is passed someone's name, and I would like to store that name in the notebook; I then later would like to recover the name. | |
| Jan 27, 2014 at 3:33 | comment | added | Rojo | @SteveD can you create some short reproducible example? | |
| Jan 27, 2014 at 3:29 | comment | added | Steve D | This is so useful, but I have a problem with using it inside a function call: namely, if I use StoreInNotebook within a function, then try to call GetFromNotebook later on, I get the error Uncompress::string: String expected at position 1 in Uncompress[Inherited]. Any thoughts? | |

Thank you for sharing this method; I've now written a new version of PermanentSet which uses this method to store the values (see my answer).

Nothing else comes to mind. Interestingly, you did it exactly the way I had in mind, particularly I also would use the symbol cv, and make it depend on a parameter, not to explicitly break the scoping (even though the rules act earlier than bindings, so this does not matter here). Also, With[{cv:=...} (which breaks the scoping) won't likely work here without using SetDelayed@@Hold[...] for definitions, due to renamings performed by With.
