What's wrong with this code?

[shawnblc]

Last night I had this code working, but today it isn't. Perhaps I changed something, but I'm not getting errors, but I'm not getting any results either.

Is there something wrong with this code? If so, any pointers?

Code: Select all

put line 1 of the hostNameToAddress of the hostName into the fld "fldIPAL"

The problem isn't the obvious except for the misplaced something opposite to the indefinite article. I the think.

Klaus will know the the answer.

Hi Shawn,

do not use THE when addressing Livecode objects!
THE is reserved for addressing custom properties, so leave out the THE and it will work,
as long as you really have a field named "fldIPAL".
...
put line 1 of the hostNameToAddress of the hostName into fld "fldIPAL"
...
Tested and works

But maybe you want to use the "usual" FUNCTION syntax, which is better readable in my opinion:
...
put line 1 of hostNameToAddress(the hostName) into fld "fldIPAL"
...

Best
