Thanks Klaus (and Jan!),
Yes, adding the complete descriptor for i did allow my 'next repeat' to run. However, I'm still having problems getting rid of the extra lines in my global variable.
I have also been trying your suggestion of using 'repeat for each'.
I get an error when I try to 'apply' this script--
--------------------------------------------------------------- set the itemdel to tab repeat for each line i in fld "daTable" if i = empty then delete line i of fld "daTable" else put item 1 of field "daTable" & return after theList end if end repeat
--------------------------------------------------------------
The error I get is "Chunk: error in chunk expression" and it highlights the line "put item 1 of field "daTable" & return after theList" -- this is a line of the script that worked before...

Hi Rich,
I'm trying to get rid of blank lines in a global variable by using the "next repeat" control structure to stop them from being put into the variable in the first place. I keep getting errors-- but only when I include the "next repeat" line. Here is the script:
on upDateTopicsRequest global theList, order, theListPlus, currentListNam
put empty into theList ask "Would you like to save your current list?" if it is empty then beep else put it into field "listName" put it into currentListNam
set the itemDelimiter to tab repeat with i = 1 to the number of lines in field "daTable" ## if line i is empty then next repeat## Does this work? if line i of field "daTable" = empty then next repeat ## Need the complete descriptor for i...
put item 1 of line i of field "daTable" & return after theList
end repeat
put the number of lines of theList into order
put field "daTable" into theListPlus --extract the descriptors in productEval stack
end if
end upDateTopicsRequest
"daTable" is a table field. If I exclude the "next repeat" line I do not get an error, but I get a lot of blank lines in the global variable "theList". This, in turn, causes other problems down the line. The error I get when I hit the "Apply" button is "if missing 'then'.
Is there a better way of excluding the blank lines in the field "daTable" from my global variable?
If you have MANY lines you could save some time using "repeat for each..."
... set the itemdel to TAB repeat for each line i in fld "daTable" if i <> empty then put item 1 of i & CR after theList end if end repeat ...
Insanely fast :-D
Hope that helps...
Thanks,
Rich Lague
