如何在全局范围内将输出从select传递到select之外？

Question

I cannot pass string variable outside of a select statement.

Case (simplified):

I have a synchronous script which uses select with two options

1. timeout (3 seconds)
2. default which is using channel to change value of a string.

When we check result of a string inside the select - it shows correctly.

But once we leave the select statement, variable is reverted to the value it was before.

package main

import (
    "log"
    "time"
)

func main() {
    timeout := time.After(3 * time.Second)
    pollInt := time.Second

    var ret string = "EMPTY"

OuterLoop:
    for {
        select {
        case <-timeout:
            log.Printf("[select][timeout] select timeout, break select and for loops")
            break OuterLoop

        default:
            log.Printf("[select][default] Processing our actions")

            ch := make(chan string, 1)

            go func(ch chan string) {
                var res string = "NOT EMPTY"
                ch <- res
            }(ch)

            select {
            case ret := <-ch:
                log.Printf("channel has a result")
                log.Printf("showing content of string AT THE SELECT: %v", ret)
            case <-time.After(1 * time.Second):
                log.Printf("timeout")

            }

        }
        log.Printf("[for] Sleep for a second..")
        time.Sleep(pollInt)
    }

    log.Printf("Starting to do some important actions.. (regardless was previous actions success or timeout)")
    /* ... */

    log.Printf("showing content of string: %v", ret)

    if ret == "NOT EMPTY" {
        log.Printf("SCRIPT FINISHED CORRECTLY")
    } else {
        log.Printf("SCRIPT FAILED")
    }

}

Result of script run:

2009/11/10 23:00:00 [select][default] Processing our actions
2009/11/10 23:00:00 channel has a result
2009/11/10 23:00:00 showing content of string AT THE SELECT: NOT EMPTY

But I'd expect:

2009/11/10 23:00:00 channel has a result
2009/11/10 23:00:00 showing content of string AT THE SELECT: NOT EMPTY

2009/11/10 23:00:01 [select][default] Processing our actions

2009/11/10 23:00:01 showing content of string AT THE SELECT: NOT EMPTY
2009/11/10 23:00:01 [for] Sleep for a second..
2009/11/10 23:00:02 [select][default] Processing our actions
2009/11/10 23:00:02 channel has a result

2009/11/10 23:00:03 Starting to do some important actions.. (regardless was previous actions success or timeout)
2009/11/10 23:00:03 showing content of string: NOT EMPTY
2009/11/10 23:00:03 SCRIPT FINISHED CORRECTLY

Any ideas?
