Retriving data from LIVECODE dictionary

Post by penopia » Mon Jan 20, 2014 4:59 am

I'd like to make "liveCODE Korean dictionary" stack, which has very simple structure with 2 field (keyword and explanation). I know the liveCode Dictionary is also a stack file, so I can retrive a data from it.

The following script worked :
put fld "Entrey" of stack "revDictionary" into fld 1 of this stack

But I can not find where the whole contents are located. How can I get this data?
I hope to make template stack for later translation using following scripts, if data is stored as array variable (for example "Dictionary").

repeat with each key myKey in Dicionary
create card myKey
put myKey into fld 1
put Dictionary[myKey] info fld 2
end repeat

Any advice will be great help.
