Question about array modification [Solved]

Hi to all,
This code returns no error, however, the green button of the code editor turns red when I save it.
Code: Select all
put "3" into laKey
put the myTest of field myTest into myArray -- load the original array from the custom propertie of the field var <myTest> to a local array <myArray >
put the text of me into myArray[laKey][2] -- make the modification
put the keys of myArray into the myTest of field myTest -- it is supposed to record the changes to the original array, but turns red ?!?
-- put myArray into the myTest of field myTest dosen't work either
Any idea why this code doesn't work ?
Kind regards, Jean-Paul.

Hi.
put the keys of myArray into the myTest of field myTest
Does this work? It should not, because you cannot put a value "into the" of a variable, and if you are setting a custom property, well, then you cannot use "put".
As for the red problem, I would call Ghostbusters.

No Craig, this is the line of code which turns with the red cross in the code editor.
Also:
Code: Select all
set the keys of myArray to the myTest of field myTest
turns red aswell...
I made some search in the tutorials and lessons section without succes until here.
Kind regards, Jean-Paul.

Maybe some QUOTES will help?
...
set the keys of myArray to the myTest of field "myTest"
...
However I do not think that you can SET the keys of an array at all!

I can do many things by myself, but LC doesn't agree
I do not need quotes because <myTest> is a var

Well, using a variable and a custom property with the same name in the same handler IS asking for trouble, if you ask me!
This will actually give unexspectected results like this:
...
put "any_name" into myTest
set the myTest of fld myTest to "abc"
...
This will put "abc" into a custom property named "any_name"!!!, because myField is a valid variable
and in that case the engine will take its CONTENT as the cp name!
Surely not what you will like
I usually add a c to my cp names: the cWhatever of ...

Ah, you're right, this is a bad habit that I need to lose (and others !)
I made the modification without success.

I've got it
Code: Select all
set the cTest of field myTest to the keys of myArray
That was the right syntax, the custom propertie first
