Converting field into table & vice versa

[david_ff]

What would be a script for turning a field into a table, or vice versa. This is easily done in the Object Inspector, but I would like to be able to do this in a script.
Thanks,
David

Hi David,

You cane use the replace command like this:

Code: Select all

function FromCommaToTab pText -- pText contains lines with items, itemdel = ","
   replace "," with tab in pText
    return pText
end FromCommaToTab

function FromTabToComma pText
   replace tab with ","  in pText
   return pText
end FromTabToComma

Best regards

Thanks for the reply.
I'm running Revolution 2.1.2, and I don't see that function in the documentation, nor does it work. Other ideas?

Jean-Marc,

There is a replace command (and a replacetext command) in Revolution 2.1.2, but I don't see how I can use it to convert a table to a normal field or vice-versa.
