LiveCode Forums.

I have a number of fields on a card labelled "f1", "f2", "f3", etc

I would like to ask is it possible to access then like an array?

For example:

repeat with i=1 to whatever
put i into field "f" & i
end repeat

Thanks!

Yes absolutly, your code seams to be functional. Is it not ?
To add a layer of abstraction to commands you write in trascript the merge() and format() command are intresting. You can find a few exemples here:

When I click Apply, there is an error complaining about the & sign.

Hi proza,

use brackets and it will work

repeat with i=1 to whatever
put i into field ("f" & i)
end repeat

Rev will evaluate the string first to "f1", "f2" etc.

P.S.
But an array is a complete different animal

Thanks Klaus.
