Hi, I don't know where the curly brackets come from but it looks like record 1 and record 2 = {} and item one record one = ,
You could write a script to take record one using curly brackets as delimiter and put it into a variable 1 then change delimiter to comma and deal with all items in variable 1 to put into fields on a card 1 and remove quotes then repeat for each curly bracket as a new card.
This actually seems like it could be useful for building a card database in REV.

Hi Jim,
HyperCard is totally AppleScriptable. If you open the Apple Script Editor and then Open dictionary... you can see the list of commands that HyperCard responds to. Revolution has no such dictionary and does not respond directly to AppleScripts. You can probably do it yourself by writing an AppleEvent handler that responds to a dosc event (do script).
However in the current case, you don't need to use AppleScript. Shorten your AppleScript to this:
tell application "filemaker Pro5" get every record set theResult to result return theResult end tell
In your Rev button, have this script: On mouseUP do field "theScript" as applescript put the result into field "data" end mouseUp

Hi Sarah,
Thank you for your response. It was very helpful. But the result of
tell application "filemaker Pro5" get evrey record end tell
On mouseUp do field "theScript" as applescript put the result into field "data" end mouseUp
results in the following in field "data"
{{"4535", "Gossett", "Joshua", "Boreham", "12975", "", "", ""}, {"109769", "Hochwald ", "Joshua ", "American Hill ", "15822", "sAddress sLast", "", "Voter"}}
(These are just two records in this voter database.)
Now I can get rid of the quotes and the curly brackets (by putting the results into a variable and using the "replace" command), but I don't understand their origin. They are not present in the original; the fields are all just simple text. The quotes are not so surprising as the curly brackets.
Puzzled,
Jim _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
