Hi,
I made a loop which has many lines that contain text. I need the content of each line and that line must have alphabets (a),(b)... corresponding to each line. when line count exceeds 26 then alphabet count should be aa, ab,.... Is it possible
Thanks
Shalu S

Here is "something".
Nothing more than a bit of logic!

I don't know how exact you have to be... but
Code: Select all
set the liststyle of line 1 to -1 of fld "[your field]" to "lower latin"
is a built-in function that's very close to what you're after
On that note,
I looked at the liststyle lower latin behaviour in LC7... and it goes through
a
b
c
...
x
y
az
aa
ab
I'm thinking the jump to "az" following "y" is a bug. Obviously this should be "z." Can anyone confirm the same behaviour?

Hi.
This behavior occurs forever: for example, after "yyyy" is "azzzz".
Bug or feature?

Hence my stack posted above.

Is that for easily marking list depth then?
