Re: number = layer?
Thank you. When I looked up 'number" for a property of an object in the Dictionary the only entry I found for number was "the number of and all its variants - i.e counts. I must have just missed number as a property of a single object. On 6/5/2021 2:18 PM, Pi Digital via use-livecode wrote: Hi Paul.

Hi Paul. Your field numbers will not be the same as layer numbers if anything else is in a layer between or before them. The better indicator would be If word 7 of X = the number of fld “Address” then That will do what you are thinking I believe.

number = layer?
Here is a basic question I am not sure of (after decades of LC coding) and can't pin down in teh Dictionary If you execute "put the selectedChunk into X" then (assume a valid selection) X contains an expression of the form "char to of field " If I want to check that the selection is in one of a number of fields on my stack, say called "Address", is the following conditional correct? if word 7 of X = the layer of fld "Address" then -- the selection is in the address field In other words, is the returned by selectedChunk the same as the layer property of objects OR is it an index to the number of fields on that card (two different things if you have objects other than fields on the card) Any one know for sure? ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
