It my case it was "ignorance about arrays" that may my head hurt. It would nice if the dictionary's "associations" include every keyword related. For example, search on array" One find zero reference to extents But I found them the user guide 1) Chapter on Arrays 2) Section on Processing Text and Data -- using arrays we can find out about: combine intersects add delete variable divide keys element matrix multiply split sum tranpose union to keep it simple those could "Related" under Associative Array.

Re: Creating Array - Auto Numeric
Well Alex won with "extents" in fact while he wrote that, I was in the User look at extents.' Jacque does that some thing.. put the number of lines in keys USE CASE Jacque and created a puzzle together, it take quotes of various lengths, creates image tiles of the words. Each tile has a customprop "uHomeLoc" that has the location where it wants to be placed. It uHome is set to false. The user drags the tile. Close to home it snaps into place and its "uHome" is set true. It cannot move anter that. That problem is a sentence having say "and" three times. Each "and" can only "go home" in one location. This is frustrating to users. Say we need to tell this tile "and" that "any one of these location will serve as home" I may end up switch to jacque model, which is to make "tile" be little fields, one of each word. But I use can the code for "images as tile" for to another game, which is putting picture together.

Re: Creating Array - Auto Numeric
We are not talking about different things, but the same thing from different angles. I misinterpreted what you wanted to do from your example. What you do manually is creating an associative array with a numeric array as the values for each key in the associative array, which should work well. I should learn to read before I write, just as I should learn to listen for the questions before I give the answers. My students have told me as much, more than once! :-) Best Regards Tore > 19. sep. 2018 kl. 00:01 skrev Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami via use-livecode > : > > Tore, must be talking about different things. > > fld "tQuote" = > > Cut the apple.
