[snop21]

guys,


I already solved my problem on displaying the data from my query and display it to the dialog box one at a time.. )

-----> Credit to Klaus and FabricioRocha

But now my problem is how to put a quote on each result before and after the string.. it looks like this.. ---> Date ------> "Date"

Thank you guys

Simon,

Thank you.. )

I have followup question How can I put the result into a variable. I can't explain it. I will just put sample here

I have records for sample

ken1
ken2
ken3
ken4
ken5

i will make a loop for this to display is into dialogbox one at a time -------> which i got it already.

My question is how can I put this into a variable? looks like this

-------------> holder = "ken1" "ken2" "ken3" "ken4" "ken5" <--------------------

Thanks Simon

Hi snop21,
I'm not sure if you have answered this or are you asking another question?

is this what you are calling a dialogbox? If it is we call it an Answer box or Answer dialog, please use these terms as it makes it easier to understand the questions.

Hi snop21,

really not sure what your problem is:
Adding QUOTE to every line of your variable?
Turning a CR delimited list into a SPACE delimited list?

Explain what you want to do to yourself and you will surely
be able to translate it to "Livecode"!


Best

P.S.
Looking at your last postings, I think you need some hints concerning repeat loops!

1. repeat with...

Code: Select all

...
repeat with i = 1 to the num of lines of fld XYZ
  ## do something with line i of fld XYZ

  ## LC does the counting for you when using "repeat with ..."
  ## So this is completely unneccessary:
  ## add 1 to i
end repeat
...

2. repeat for each line/item etc... tLine in tList
Here LC will NOT count the lines, that's why this is so fast, so If you need to "track" the linenumber
you need to add a counter and raise it in every loop
This loop is READ ONLY, means you CANNOT modify tLine in the loop!

Code: Select all

...
set itemdel to TAB

## Optional:
put 1 into tCounter
repeat for each line tLine in tList

   ## BAD, will give HIGHLY UNEXSPECTED RESULTS:
   ## put 22 into item 1 of tLine
   
  ## Do this -> use a variable with the content of tLine and modify that instead:
  put tLine into tLine2
  put 22 into item 1 of tLine2

  put tLine2 & CR after tNewList

  ## Optional
  add 1 to tCounter
end repeat
...
