"Neither of these worked."
Sure they do, or rather, they compile without issue. But the code snippets you
supplied, before I fixed them, do not do much, since they contain no data to
work with, and create nothing. But if you populate some of those orphaned
variable references, you will get output.
This may be purely academic...

Subject: Re: Set Variable or CustomProperty Names with and expression
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.
