Oh boy… I was so close…how simple…use “cr” instead of comma and its done… I love living in Hawaii because I can post a problem, go to bed and find a solution the next day. I was already working with this solution:
set the itemDel to tab repeat for each line tRecord in tManyRecords put item 1 of tRecord into tParent put item 2 of tRecord into tChild put tChild & cr after aStore[tParent] end repeat # now I want the lines in each element of aStore to be sorted. Repeat for each key y in aStore Put aStore[y] into tChildList Delete char -1 of tChildList Sort lines of tChildList Put tChildList into aStore[y] End repeat So this is working BR On 4/21/16, 11:42 PM, "use-livecode on behalf of Kay C Lan" <on behalf of [email protected]> wrote >On Fri, Apr 22, 2016 at 3:59 PM, Alex Tweedly <[email protected]> wrote: > >> >> NB - you do get the trailing comma, so you need to handle that properly in >> any subsequent processing >> > >That's extremely important, trailing delimiters are such a gotcha I try to >always avoid creating them in the first place.
