...I'm not really a fan of nested loops, but it's quite comfortable :wink: Don't worry too much about my little problem, I think we are moving too far away from the opening question. All I want is to have all combinations of the items of 3 fields in an ascending order, no matter what kind they are. ...

@Richmond. If I have the OP's intent correctly, he wants all possible ascending three-item strings extracted from the "master" field contents. Sorting doesn't do that at all. @Jeorg. Is that true? And again, if so, it would be a simple but fun project to write a function that does that sort of thin...

you are right, sorry for the confusion! No, the screenshots are fake :wink: For the version on the left I would simply use 3 nested for-each loops. The version on the right, I think, needs to compare lower and higher values to achieve the ascending order. That's why I asked the opening question, jus...

Hi, what I want to achieve is to have combinations of all items from all fields, but in ascending order. But since these aren't numeric values, I thought the easiest way would be to use the loop position for that purpose. So, your examples are good and work fine for me! https://www.benzingwerbung.de...

Hi Craig, please excuse me for not being able to express myself so good in English :? I know how to use breakpoints, yes. I have to iterate through some fields with text or values. The current position of the respective loop does matter. So it's not for practice :wink: Would be nice, if this was bui...

Hi Jean-Marc and Craig,

Thanks very much for taking the time! I think, I will play around with your solutions. It's a bit tricky, because I want to use some nested loops, so I hope not to get lost in the code

Thanks again!

Hi everyone at the forum, is there a built-in function to detect the position of a character (or item, word...) in a "for-each" loop? I couldn't find anything about this... Example: put "the quick brown fox" into myVariable repeat for each character dummy in myVariable --get the position of dummy in...

Hi richmond62,

problem solved! No more error message and back to edit mode Thanks very much!!

Best regards,

Hi Klaus, it doesn't work, no matter what I select. Don't know if this has something to do with it, but every time, when I launch LiveCode, an error message appears (attached). When I hit continue, there's no prompt for a folder. I'm also running version 8.1.4 on my laptop. It all works pretty fine ...

Dear Livecode users, I'm running LiveCodeIndy 8.1.4 on a Win10 x64 computer. Seems like LiveCode is always in runtime mode. Rightclick on a button runs the script. Property inspector and scripteditor do not show up. Where's the problem? I'm sure, the problem is sitting in front of the computer :roll...

Hi Mark, thanks for your reply! I'm not sure... I noticed, that it happened with another software, that I recently installed. Could it be a problem of any sort of environment the developers use and which is include into LiveCode? What do you think? Or just a problem with my display adapter :wink: Jo...

Hi everyone,

in LiveCode Community Edition dp4, I had antialiased icons in the tools palette and the menu bar. In dp9 these look scrambled (see attached image) I couldn't find settings for this... Any idea?

Thanks very much!
