(or variables or any objects) using a reserved word is a bad idea.

Just one gotcha with the repeat for each construct. Do NOT under any
circumstances change the contents of the source variable inside the repeat
loop. For instance:
repeat for each line tLine in myListOfLines
Do NOT change the contents of myListOfLines inside your repeat loop. It was

By some odd coincidence those are the names of the first 4 buttons in my new

David and Mark,
Yet, repeat for each rules. Whether using arrays is faster than using
regular variables depends on whether your repeat loop is written
smartly.

Hello Bob, Sarah, Mark, Alex, Scott, Kay,
Very good lesson !!!
Yes ! Better than documentation !
It is a good example for witch I appreciate How to use Revolution
I imagine that many silent readers appreciate like me and I thank you on their
behalf...
PS : pity not have English lessons like that

Quite; but that looks a bit like circular logic.

Well, it's not regular variables that are the issue here. An array is
*MUCH* faster than a do statement. Do statements are very slow, and
I only use them sparingly and when there's no alternative. But when
you gotta, you gotta.

Good grief! Will someone be so kind as to show me the proper way to

Let's say I have the following
1 group named AllFields containing:
10 text fields, named Field1...Field10
10 temporary variables named tVar1...tVar10
All I want to do, using a loop, is to put the user
You need a do statement. Otherwise you would need Macro Substitution which
Runrev does not support.
put put fld quote Field i quote of group quote AllFields
quote into tvar i into theCommand
do theCommand -- careful of line wraps
Easier to read is:
put put fld fieldi of group
Setting variables whose names are construct dynamically requires using do.
So this should work:
put Field i into tFieldName
put put fld tFieldName of grp AllFields into tVar i into tCommand
do tCommand
Probably an easier solution is to use an array:
put fld Field i of grp AllFields into
Hi David,
Whenever you discuss something that involved an error, you really
should post the error message together with your question. It helps.
Really, it does.
Now to your answer. I am not exactly sure what to answer, because I
don't know the error message, but I can make a guess.
It
As an aside, what Macro Substitution would be able to do is dereference
variables at runtime. Assuming an amperstand was the dereference character:
put field into theObject
put tVar into theVar
put 1 into i
put field theObject.i of group AllFields into theVar.i
This was how dBase and other dev
You do indeed need a 'do' statement - but the first half of the
statement (dealing with the field) doesn't need it, only the second half.
So I would find it more readable to do
put (fld field i) into temp
do put temp into quote tVar quote i
OK, it's marginally inefficient, but who
Hi David:
One way to dynamically create a variable on the fly is using the do
command.
repeat with i = 1 to 10
get fld (Field i) of grp Allfields -- put the value into it
do put it into tVar i
end repeat
Two additional things to consider:
1) When referring to an object name
Hi Mark.
That won't work because the fields themselves are named Field1 Field2. He is
not referencing the fields by their numbers but rather by their names. A bit
confusing but I got it.

HI BOB,
It doesn't matter, because David writes he got only 10 fields in that
group. Besides, it is really a bad idea to call a field field 1.
