In my stack i have bellow objects..
1 group with some fields and 2 variables.
Variable 1 have the field names and variable 2 have the values i want like (name1,name2,etc)
I want to get the field name from the var 1 and pass the value from var 2 into text of field.
is that possible and how to?
my code until now

Code: Select all

repeat with x=1 to the number of flds of group "grp-A"
          add 1 to counter
          put the short name of  fld x & cr after fNames
     end repeat

     set the itemdel to comma
     put 0 into myCounter
     repeat for each line f in fNames
          repeat for each line t in tvalues

          end repeat
     end repeat

You have a lot of unnecessary lines to do this job

Code: Select all

repeat with x=1 to the number of flds of group "grp-A"
   put line x of tValues into field x of group "grp-A"
 end repeat

But if you want to refer to a field by resolving a variable name, you can put the name in parentheses:

put "data" into field (tFieldVar)

You might get away without the parentheses but don't leave them out. It makes things so much better for the engine.
