Hi David,
... What about: ... if myCustomKeys = empty then put "myNewCustomProp" after myCustomKeys else put return & "myNewCustomProp" after myCustomKeys end if ...
Yes, I can see this, but you then need to know the "details" of how the "lines" are organized and since I cannot find any menton of this is in the Transcript dictionary, it just causes confusion and wastes time especially for a newbie who is not sure if it's their code that is causing the problems. That is what one big thing I find missing in RR, it doens't really say anywhere what is *supposed* to happen, so if a problem arrises you are not sure if it's your code or some "feature" of RR!
I'm afraid you are thinking far to complicated, especialy in this case....
No, I was thinging "simple", RR complicated IHMO, for instance, how is:
if myNewCustomProp is empty then put return & "myNewCustomProp" after myCustomKeys
simpler than:
put "myNewCustomProp" after myCustomKeys
Most things in RR are "natural", i mean they are just like they are, no misteries :-)
Therefore i suggested to think of a list as a field (maybe with "listbehaviour" set to true)...
But anyway, surely it would be MUCH better to have each item finish with a return,
that way you would never have to worry about the "empty" test.
Are you sure? ;-)
Yes!
Even in that case you could end up with an empty item, if you don't check for "emptyness"!!!
How so? If you always did:
put "myNewCustomProp" & return after myCustomKeys
this would work regardless of the current contents of myCustomKeys!
Of course you'd get an empty line if you just did:
put return after myCustomKeys
but in that case you'd be explicity asking for an empty line and the same would be true of appending the return to the start of the new property anyway!
And how could you differ LINES in that case?
Sorry, but that would not work.
Don't understand what you mean "differ LINES". Why wouldn't the above work? Seems to me like it would work better than what is there already.
Just wish they would give a definition of the parameters in commands etc.I wish there was peace on earth ;-)
Well haveing definitions of parameters in the dictionary would be one step towards that,
at least in my corner of the world!!!
C'mon David!
Where do you live? Absurdistan? :-D
I live in a land where terms that are mentioned in dictionaries aught be have those terms in the dictionary!
All the Best Dave _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
