Peter, in the "repeat for each" structure, the loop variable -
"theLine" - is just that, a variable, so when you try to format it,
nothing happens to the line in the field of which it's a copy (and
you get an error, because you can't format text in a variable this
way, and in any case, you shouldn't try to modify the loop variable
in a 'repeat for').
Eric's approach will work,:
set the itemDelimiter to " "
repeat for each line theLine in field "test" of stack "Calendar"
add 1 to tLineNumber
if item 1 of theLine is "Sunday" then
set the textStyle of line tLineNumber of fld "test" of stack
"Calendar" to "bold"
end if
end repeat
you could also use htmlText:
set the itemDelimiter to " "
repeat for each line theLine in field "test" of stack "Calendar"
add 1 to tLineNumber
if item 1 of theLine is "Sunday" then
put "<p><b>" & theLine & "</b></p>" & cr after tHtmlText
else
put "<p>" & theLine & "</p>" after tHtmlText
end if
end repeat
set the htmlText of fld "test" of stack "Calendar" to tHtmlText
Best,

Must be doing something obvious wrong. As usual! I want to go
through a
field and format lines depending on what they start with.
So to begin with I try the following, which works just fine, to
make sure the
lines are being found and picked up:
set the itemDelimiter to " "
repeat for each line theLine in field "test" of stack "Calendar"
if item 1 of theLine is "Sunday" then
put theLine
end if
end repeat
Now I change this so as to do the formatting as follows:
set the itemDelimiter to " "
repeat for each line theLine in field "test" of stack "Calendar"
if item 1 of theLine is "Sunday" then
set the textStyle of theLine to "bold"
end if
end repeat
and get the error
Message execution error:
Error description: Chunk: error in object expression
So how to do this? That is, make every line that starts with
Sunday bold?
And why is it not working?
Peter
