Neither of these worked...
I took the cue from Mark and tried arrays
this was incredibly simple... almost.
In the end I was unable to figure out how to pass a variable string as a
name of a custom property. My head was hurting, so instead of breaking
it on further attempts to find the algorithm for this... I "man handled
it" in the end with my usual verbose "baby xTalk"
command getAndDistributeCategories
set the defaultstack to "Gurudeva"
put url ("file:/" & localpath()& "data/gurudeva-quotes.txt") into
gAllQuotes
set the uAllQuotes of stack "Gurudeva" to gAllQuotes # line/pipe
delimited
put the uCategories of this stack into tCategories # tab delimited
set the linedelimiter to "|"
set the itemdelimiter to tab
repeat for each line x in gAllQuotes
repeat for each item y in tCategories
put "t" & y & "Set" into tAggregatedSet
if (item 6 of x contains y) then put x & "|" after aQuoteSets[y]
end repeat
end repeat
# get some stats
repeat for each item y in tCategories
put y & " quotes: " & the number of lines of aQuoteSets[y] & cr
after tCountCheck
end repeat
put tCountCheck into url ("file:/"& localpath() &
"data/quote-spread-stats.txt")
## LOAD PROPS - which is the target goal of this handler ##
# I "give up" on a more efficient method.. this works but
# has the downside of being hard-wired... so if we change the category names
# we have to manually massage this code... there must be a better way:
# you cannot do anything like
# set the ("u" & y & "Set") of this stack... the compiler complains this
is illegal
set the uKarmaQuotes of this stack to aQuoteSets["Karma"]
set the uHinduismQuotes of this stack to aQuoteSets["Hinduism"]
set the uSivaQuotes of this stack to aQuoteSets["Siva"]
set the uWisdomQuotes of this stack to aQuoteSets["Wisdom"]
set the uLifeQuotes of this stack to aQuoteSets["Life"]
set the uGuruQuotes of this stack to aQuoteSets["Guru"]
set the uSelfQuotes of this stack to aQuoteSets["Self"]
set the uGodsQuotes of this stack to aQuoteSets["Gods"]
set the uHumorQuotes of this stack to aQuoteSets["Humor"]
set the uMeditationQuotes of this stack to aQuoteSets["Meditation"]
set the uSadhanaQuotes of this stack to aQuoteSets["Sadhana"]
set the uWorshipQuotes of this stack to aQuoteSets["Worship"]
end getAndDistributeCategories
So this is the same issue: setting variable name or CustomProp name with
an expression.

or:
repeat for each item y in tCategories
get ("t"& y& "set")
if item 6 of x contains y then put x& cr& "|" after it
end repeat
