Thanks for your feedback, here is what I found out: > The long ID of a field looks something like this. I haven’t saved the stack > yet, so there is no filename. > > field id 1006 of card id 1002 of stack "Untitled 1” > > I can do: > put “myEmail” into field “email” and it works fine and to me, serves as a > model for syntax variations. > > I can copy that long id to the message box and do: > > put "my email" into field id 1006 of card id 1002 of stack "Untitled 1” and > it works. > > I can do, but it doesn’t work: > > put the long id of fld "email" into tLongID > put quote&tLongID"e into tx > put "myEmail" into tx > > This works: (thanks, Jacqueline) > put the long id of fld "email" into tLongID > do "put" &"e& "my email" "e&& "into" && tlongid > > So, this may be obvious to experienced livecoders, but it is bizarre to those > less experienced, like me.
