Thanks Eric. I appreciate your comments, though perhaps I should
have actually stated what problem I was solving.
I put everything on separate statements because I actually have more
complex requirements in my real application and I wanted it simple to
understand, modify and debug --and speed is not important for this
section.
I have a group with a lot of user input fields and buttons. Some
fields and buttons that I know by name I want to exclude from my
lists, i.e., field "label field" are just labels that I do not want
to include. Other fields and buttons that I do not know by name or
quantity need to be separated into different lists so that they can
be processed differently. What I am actually doing is just saving
and restoring the content or hilite of each input control to/from
custom properties in that control that are selected by a combo
button. The user can add more items and decide the name of the item
in the combo button menu and they stay in sorted order. This is kind
of like having a background group on several cards, but I want it all
on only one card. I also have groups of these groups that I change
the configuration many times. Every time the user changes the input,
I also save the value in the custom property for the current menu
selection. I works very nice.

Hi Dennis,
Just a comment about your script:
You use 3 non exclusive conditional structures and then the engine
will have to test all of them.
You might prefer something like:
if word 1 of it is "button" then put it & cr after btnList
else if word 1 of it is "field" then put it & cr after fldList
"if it contains "label field" then next repeat" is unnecessary and
redundant :-)
Just my two cents.
Best regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet.

Eric,
This is exactly what I want to do, but it did not work.

Hi Bob,
Buttons, fields, images, graphics, scrollbars, players and groups
are controls:
put the number of controls
repeat for each control tControl in this card
I want to get the name (or number) of each control in a group.
get the number of controls in grp x --works
repeat for each control c in anything --does not work for me
I guess I can always do it the other way:
repeat with c=1 to the number of controls in grp grpName
get the name of control c of grp grpName
if it contains "label field" then next repeat
if word 1 of it is "button" then put it&cr after btnList
if word 1 of it is "field" then put it&cr after fldList
end repeat
