no, the whole point was to use "wait until" in one handler and restart it from another handler. This was just to test it, I skipped all the other stuff and reasons for doing it. Maybe a bit confusing that i made both handlers start from one button handler. I should not have put a subject on the last...

OK....I will check it out. I am a bit lazy too, sort of like to find everything in one place. Also the usual problem with forums is: All the bestwork seems to drown in a mass of caos. Whish somebody could take the best code samples and put them somewhere in clear searchable categories, and with link...

Hi, finally made it, do not how I can upload the stack though...in case someone would like it.

Hi,

thanks, I think your answer is relevant, didn not work right away. Have to try more tomorrow, now I have to go and listen to some JAZZ with my woman.

Have a nice evening

How do I pause a handler and continue it by using: wait until ..... some message is sent from another handler or button script?

I am a casual Revolutionary, but when I start a project I spend days writing code. And like today spend hours banging my head, because I get very impatient searching for code or explanations. Please include some more links to code examples in the Documentation Dictionary. Just accept that not all of...

OK, let's leave it at that. Untill Revolution becomes a highrise and have to dig out a basement for the cars to park. My idea of a pointer was somwhat simple and limited, maybe not even like the low-level way.

Thanks again from

Hi & thanks Mark, I did not mention that I used the list to put it in a table field, then making the array. But I believe you even have a ready solution for putting the array into a field without even using the combine command!? Anyhow, I would still like to know why we do not have variable pointers...

This is something of the kind I have been doing, looping throug a text to find sertain numbers like "no2", "no15": put "this is no2" & return & "this can be no15" & return into myText repeat with i = 1 to the number of lines in myText get matchText(line i of myText,"(no[0-9]+)", theText) put theText...

and then I have a handler that makes list like the following:

var2
var5
var37

Now I want a repeat that declares these names in my list as variables, how?

I just don't know how to do it without using an array.
I wish it where possible to put a value into a variable named via a variable pointer.

put "BagOne" into @variablePointer
put 15 into variablePointer

--which then should give me a variable named "BagOne" with a value of 15

I am missing a method of variable pointers, so I have been using arrays instead:

put myVar into aKeyName
put theCalculation into myArray[aKeyName]

but this is not good in every situation, any other way?
