What would the correct syntax be to achieve the following...

I have a section of formatted text in a field on card 2 that I want
exported to another field on card 1.  The line I want to execute is
something like the following:

set the htmlText of field "originalText" of cd 1 to
value(linesToShow)

...where linesToShow = (line 2 to 10 of field 1 of cd 2)

put the HTMLtext of line 2 to 10 of fld 1 of cd 2 into tData set the HTMLtext of fld "originalText" of cd 1 to tData

Can this same thing be accomplished without naming the
chunk explicitly, as in... the HTMLText of value(linesToShow)...?
(That didn't seem to work, which is why I asked the list.)

If I understand you correctly, you could do it like this:

 put "line 2 to 10 of field 1 of cd 2" into linesToShow
 set the HTMLtext of fld "originalText" of cd 1 to \
     the HTMLtext of linesToShow


Scott,

Yes, you understood perfectly. That line does exactly what I wanted. Thank you.

Mark
