I was thinking for example of an array of constants (really strings) which could be written into my script. Again, if that’s possible I don’t know how. It seems odd to have to do something like convert lists of constants into array form only when the program is running. Monsieur? Well, when else would you like to do it in LC, when it is not running? :-D I'm sure I did nto really understand what you mean.
I think Graham was hoping for more powerful 'constant' statement. I know I'd like to be able to say things like constant kA["help"][1] = "This is the help string" or constant N = 1 constant kA["help"][N] = "some string" constant kA["help"][N+1] = "next string" or indeed my old favourite constant kManyLinesOfText = """ here's a version of the constant string which spans multiple lines""" Alex. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
