A line is a chunk of a container. It is not an object in and of itself. So to add something after the line you need to fully specify the line. put "thenextbit" after line twhatever of containerWithLines No? James ___ use-livecode mailing list

Re: How to add a new item into the end of an existing line?

you can even: put "whatever" into item (the number of items in c + 1) of c (and you can of course specify a line too) that way it'll pop the comma in there for you too. But like everyone else I actually find it easier to just insert the comma and data. On Mon, Mar 16, 2015 at 3:31 PM, Michael Do
