Re: Syntax to increment variable names in repeat loop

Thanks for the confirmation Chris - and the insights into how to create an array of discrete containers (such as a grid), when that becomes appropriate. Best, Keith.. On 24 May 2011, at 14:56, Nonsanity wrote: > Arrays are the way to go there, but if you really do need to work with > constr

Re: Syntax to increment variable names in repeat loop

Arrays are the way to go there, but if you really do need to work with constructed variable names, do is probably the only way to set such a value. The following code clip shows how you can get the value of a constructed variable name: put 111 into var1 put 222 into var2 put 2 into whichVar put me

Re: Syntax to increment variable names in repeat loop

Thanks, Jim, The 'do' command looks useful as a mechanism for combining disparate elements - I'll add it to my armoury. The multi-dimensional array should keep the XML strings related but separate for post processing. I'm also setting a custom property on the stack as the array - to provide si

Re: Syntax to increment variable names in repeat loop

Yes, an array seems to be the way to go, as LiveCode doesn't throw errors (yet!) if I use... repeat with tCycle = 1 to 10 put "some ugly returned XML string" into tResult[tCycle]["Response"] end repeat Thanks for listening! :-) Best, Keith.. On 24 May 2011, at 10:48, Keith Clarke wrote: > Than

Re: Syntax to increment variable names in repeat loop

Thanks for responding John but in my scenario, I can't use 'after' in a single variable. Each loop cycle is calling a web service and returning an XML string that I need to place in a unique variable, related to the loop cycle, for subsequent aggregation. Thinking about it, maybe I could put al

Not too sure I fully understand... but is something like this what you are after ? on mouseUp put "jan,Feb,Mar,Apr,May,Jun,Jul,Aug,Sep,Oct,Nov,Dec" into monthList repeat with count = 1 to 12 put (item count of monthList & count) & cr after theList end repeat put theLis
