Hi there

Yet another question concerning text - I usually make games so I have had no
need to use text before to any great extent!

Anyway I have a property list as follows:

  set
gList_Of_Contact_Data=[["Name":"Paul","Email":"[EMAIL PROTECTED]","Cou
ntry":"England"],�

["Name":"Tiffany","Email":"[EMAIL PROTECTED]","Country":"England"]]

Which could have thousands of individual records.

I have a button that when pressed will display a list of all the names in
alphabetical order. Now the only way I can think of doing this is as
follows:


   set temp_name_text=""

   repeat with temp=1 to count(gList_Of_Contact_Data)

    set temp_name_text=temp_name_text &
getaProp(gList_Of_Contact_Data[temp],"Name") & Return

  end repeat

  set the text of member "myField" = temp_name_text

Can anyone suggest a better way as I am sure there must be one]

Thanks

Paul
