Sorry, not supposed to pluralize 'character': Put Character 1 to 14 of (tVar & " ") into tVar

It automatically removes all the characters in tVar past character 14. Perhaps that is preferable? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lynch, Jonathan Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2005 11:30 AM To: How to use Revolution Subject: RE: len of field There is a danger to this method: repeat until the number of chars of tVar = 14 put space after tVar end repeat if tVar happens to be 15 or greater, it will repeat forever. Perhaps use tVar >= 14 ? Not that speed is an issue with this example, but with using method it requires checking the number of characters in tVar for every pass. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eric Chatonet Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2005 11:26 AM To: How to use Revolution Subject: Re: len of field Hi Paul, repeat until the number of chars of tVar = 14 put space after tVar end repeat or by building a function you can use elsewhere with any number of chars: put Extent(tVar,14) into fld "MyField" function Extent pString,pNumOfChars repeat until the number of chars of pString = pNumOfChars put space after pString end repeat return pString end Extent The last method is better: always think you want be able to reuse the code you write :-) Le 25 août 05 à 17:11, Paul Salyers a écrit : > I need to find out how to add spaces to a field length if the > number of characters are less than 14 to equal 14 charters. > > I'm using this: > > if the number of char of tVar < 14 then (I need to add spaces to > equal 14 char) Best Regards from Paris, Eric Chatonet. ---------------------------------------------------------------- So Smart Software For institutions, companies and associations Built-to-order applications: management, multimedia, internet, etc. Windows, Mac OS and Linux...
