Hi again -
I just realized I may have answered what you weren't asking. :o/
It's still easy! If you have questions that contain multiple
CR-delimited lines, you can do this:
1) separate complete questions with a character that will never appear
in the questions - like a pipe "|" or tilde "~".
2) put that special character between questions.
3) Refer to it this way in code:
set the lineDelimiter to "~" -- or whatever the char is
put any line of fld "questionList" into fld "question"
Thanks -
Phil

I'm trying to make a testing program that inserts random questions
into a field when the card is open. I was not sure exactly how to go
about doing this. This is what I tried to do. I put a field on each
card with a few names on it, just to see if I had the random thing
down. The I made the field invisible. I tried to scripted the card to:
On opencard
get random(item 1 of field "ranName") put it into field "Question"
end opencard
(I know I said the field has names in it. I just wanted to see if I
could get random text this way before I went nuts adding long
questions.)
Also I'm still not 100% sure how (even if the above did work) to
make the question occupy more than just one line of text. I assume
I'd have to use "item" and maybe a chunk operation? Because I wasn't
sure how Revolution knows when an item begins, and when it ends. I
just want to make a simple testing program that doesn't always give
the same questions. I know the answer is probably very simple, and
right under my nose again.
You're right - it's easy.
If 'random' is confusing, you can do this instead to display long
questions:
put any line of fld "ranName" into fld "question"
In Rev fields, a "line" is a string of text ending with a CR. That
means it can "soft wrap" in a field an still be used as a single line.
