repeat for each line tLine in tDocDocg
put item 3 of tLine & return after field "fldDoc"
## Collect all ITEMs and store it in a custom property of fld "fldDoc"
put item 1 of tLine & numtochar(2) after tAllItems1
put item 2 of tLine & numtochar(2) after tAllItems2
put item 4 of tLine & numtochar(2) after tAllItems4
put item 5 of tLine & numtochar(2) after tAllItems5
put item 6 of tLine & numtochar(2) after tAllItems6
etc...

not directly! In case like these ARRAYS are the way to go!
ARRAYS can also be stored completely into a custom property, which is a fine thing
When you need to concatenate VARIABLE names, you will need to use DO all the stuff,
which is also a performance slowdown, so arrays come in quite handy here!

repeat for each line tLine in tDocDocg
## Avoid accessing FIELDS in repeat loops, that's a big slowdown!
put item 3 of tLine & return after tNewText
# Collect all ITEMs and store it in a custom property of fld "fldDoc"
# Repeat For EACH is fast but read only so we need to manage our own counter
repeat for each item tItem in tLine
## Already processed this one
if tCounterItem = 3 then
next repeat
end if
put tItem & numtochar(2) after tAllItems[tCounterItem]
## END each item...
end repeat
## END each line...
end repeat
## Now access field ONCE :-)
put tNewText after fld "fldDoc"
...
## Now set the custom property, so we can later access it:
set the cAllItems1 of fld "fldDoc" to tAllItems1
set the cAllItems4 of fld "fldDoc" to tAllItems4
To extract your values, do something like this:
...
put the the cAllItems of fld "fldDoc" into tArray
put tArray[1] into tAllItems1
put tArray[2] into tAllItems2
etc...

Sorry, I completely forgot to INCREMENT the custom counter -> tCounterItem

Klaus' advice about using an array is correct. The sublevels of control required to do what you want is doable in LC, but inelegant. Nevertheless, since I grew up without arrays, this is with the "do" construction (that Klaus mentioned as well). I got data from a field that had several lines in it with several items in each line. A couple of changes just to make my life easier.The only value here is to see how the "do" keyword creates evaluated expressions that LC can deal with without throwing up:
on mouseUp
put fld "f3" into tDocDocg
put numtochar(2) into tChar
repeat with y = 1 to the number of lines of tDocDocg
put item 3 of line y of tDocDocg & return after field "f1"
repeat with u = 1 to the number of items of line y of tDocDocg
do "put item" && u && "of line" && y && "of tDocDocg" & "&" && tChar && "after tAllItems" & u -- this is it, folks. There are other ways to construct it
end repeat
end repeat
end mouseUp
Hi Craig,
I will keep your suggestion in case I will not able to solve something still wrong in the development of Klaus' code.
Klaus, I put the set to 1 of var. tCounterItem inside of the Repeat of each line loop. because, if I am right, the counter must start to 1 at the first item of each line.
otherwise, I obtained incorrect data.
Now, I've still something wrong. this line of code:
I already showed you how to extract the desired values from your custom property!?
You need to use ARRAY syntax, which is not "line xyz of zyx":
To extract your stored values, do something like this:
...
put the the cAllItems of fld "fldDoc" into tArray
put tArray[1] into tAllItems1
put tArray[2] into tAllItems2
etc...
...
In your example you should script something like this:
...
put the the cAllItems of fld "fldDoc" into tArray
put tArray[linenumber] into fld "fldDenomin"
...
## What line has been clicked:
put the hilitedline of me into tLineNumber
## Prepare to access custom property:
set linedel to numtochar(2)
## Now display the corresponding ITEMS in rispettivi field:
put the cAllItems of fld "fldDoc" into tArray
put tArray[2] into tAllItems2
put line tLineNumber of the tAllItems2 of me into fld "fldDenomin"
on mouseup
## What line has been clicked:
put the hilitedline of me into tLineNumber
## Prepare to access custom property:
set linedel to numtochar(2)
## Now display the corresponding ITEM 2 in another field:
put line tLineNumber of the cAllItems2 of me into fld "txtRispostaTrovata"
end mouseup
...
put the cAllItems of fld "fldDoc" into tArray
put tArray[2] into tAllItems2
## Now tAllItems2 is a VARIABLE and not a custom property!
## You treat it like a CP:
## put line tLineNumber of the tAllItems2 of me into fld "fldDenomin"
## But it is a variable:
put line linenumber of tAllItems2 into fld "fldDenomin"
...
