concating the names of custom property

Post by samjith » Fri Jul 15, 2016 12:16 pm

Hi,

1. i have a custom property with name x_interval_val in card i
2. item 1 of chunk_text contains x

is there any way to produce the result by?

put the (item 1 of chunk_text & "_interval_val") of card i into var
instead of doing
put the x__interval_val of card i into var



Thanks

Klaus

Hi samjith,

you need to use a variable for the CP name like this:
...
put item 1 of chunk_text & "_interval_val" into tVar1
put the tVar1 of card i into var
...
If a variable contains a valid custom property name, then this will work!


Best

Klaus

Hi Klaus,

is there any other method for doing this?

i have 100s of custom property in a card.

Hi Samjith,

one way to get all your custom properties:

Code: Select all

   put the customproperties of me into myArray
   repeat for each line K in the keys of myArray
      put K & ": " & myArray[ K] &cr after T
   end repeat
   put T
then, do as Klaus said...

HTH,

Thierry
