For helpful snippets, besides the Cookbook, another thing that I guess has always been there is the How To--and a lot of these will be great for newcomers, and some of these are real gems for people already familiar with Rev too.

Today I saw the one for (Development Guide:Text and Data Processing:How To:) "How to shuffle the items or lines in a container." Have you seen it?

sort items of myVar numeric by random(the number of items in myVar)

Brilliant! That is really amazing. A real work of art!


It's not exactly for new learners I guess, but that just shows the variety. How about this example of the many which are great for newbies:

"How to put text into a field"

You use the put command to put text into a field. For example, to put the text "Hello World" into a field named "My Field", use a statement like the following (in a handler or in the message box):

put "Hello World" into field "My Field"

To put text at the beginning of a field without disturbing the field's contents, use a statement like the following:

put "text" before field "Field"

To put the text at the end of the field, use a statement like the following:

put "text" after field "Field"

Good stuff! So the How To is good just like the Cookbook.
