Chnge Card Names with scripts

Post by no1g8tor » Mon Feb 18, 2008 10:42 pm

I need to change certain card names in stacks. I have a report that creates a card for each page and when done it gets erased. I copy the first card in the stack, but it names it the same as the first.

I need to rename each card after the report is created to reflect the page name of the report.

Thanks

Hi,

after cloning or copying the card a reference to the card is placed in the it variable.

copy cd "myCard"
set the name of it to "newName"

hope that helps,

Malte

than you for the quick reply.

I use the copy cd"" command to make the new card but I was just not sure how to change the name.

I will give it a shot

Mike
