Do you mean you want COLUMNS in your field?

Hi richmond62,
kinda like that but the twist here after the last number display which is "70". it will create another column and display other numbers.
Thanks richmond62.

Hi Lemodizon,
why not set a tabstop and add new columns with a TAB to the same field?
Code: Select all
...
repeat with i = 1 to the num of lines of fld 1
put TAB & your_value_here after line i of fld 1
end repeat
...
Et voila, columns!
Know what I mean?

Sans voila!
Because:

The result is
ROWS, and
NOT COLUMNS.

row = line!
So your example shows 13 rows with 4 columns.

My recent attempt, based on your suggestion, does NOT result in what Lemuel wants.
This is what he wants:

Mockup made in LibreOffice.

I know and only wanted to show how to create another "column"
in an existing field containing text already.

Aha.
I wonder exactly how one can do what Lemuel wants?

Lemodizon,
do your numbers come from ONE field and you want them to display in columns in another field
or do you have several fields that you want to display in different columns in the same field?

The easiest way would be to group three fields and scroll the group. Get the number of lines in the data and div by 3. Put lines 1 to x into fld 1, the next set of x lines into fld 2 and the final set into fld 3.
If only one field is required then put the first set into the field, then repeat for the next set putting a tab before the value after each line in the field. Do the same for the third set.

Hi Klaus,
Yes it come from ONE field only. in my picture after i entered the number 70 it will create a column or tab near the number 150 but using only one filed.

YOU entered? I thought this should be done completely via script?
So you have fixed values (70, 30, 60) after which the "column break" should happen?
Or any other "rule" for this?
And maybe you can post the content of that source field here, so we could experiment a bit?

Hi Klaus,
Good day.
Sorry this is the sample stack picture that i'm practicing. it has a enter button.
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
if fld "numberFld" is empty then
beep
Answer error "Please enter a Number. Thanks!"
else
put fld "numberFld" into tMyNumber
put tMyNumber & cr after fld "ForReleasingFld"
put empty into fld "numberFld"
end if
end mouseUp

We need more info, so I repeat:
