Checking existence of a variable

Know I can check "if there is no..."
for image, graphic, field etc. etc. but
can I check for a global or local variable?

Hi BJB,

Please check out the documantion on the variablenames function. You probamly want something like:

Code: Select all

if not "variable" is among the items of line x of the variableNames then
  do "put something into" && variable
end if

Best,

Mark

Oops,

trying to learn how to use RR properly, I also checked the docs for "variablenames" myself - then I checked the other ...names as well - and ran across a bug in the docs:

according to the docs, "the localnames" shall to contain 3 lines - but only two of them are mentioned and explained.

What does the first line contain?

[edit]I just filed a bug report

Hi Andreas,

I have no idea what should be on the first line of the localnames. I'm sure it is something obvious, but I can't discover it. Sorry...

Hello Mark,

thanks for your effort anyway - I already filed a bug report (and this one should be easy to fix - in contrast to the others which are often "not reproducable"

)
