How do I iterate through the list of table names in a database?
I'd like to create a generic database display, and I want to get the table names (using revDatabaseTableNames), and generate a list to iterate through.
Thanks!

revDatabaseTableNames returns a list of tables, one per line, so after executing that command you should be ready for something like

repeat for each line linTableName in tTableNames
do something with linTableName
end repeat

EDIT: for typo.

Typo, I expect.

repeat for each linTableName in tTableNames

is likely, repeat for each line TableName in tTableNames

Yep. Oops.

Thanks guys, it did the trick and it's working!
