You could build a little LibStackJaredJava.rev and include a STACK script two handlers
function tabString cnt set the itemDel to tab put tab into item cnt-1 of str return str end tabString on openstack start using stack (the short name of me) end openstack --save stack in the Revolution Plugins folder --go to the Rev menu Development:Plugins:Plugin Settings --use the drop down menu to select your stack --then choose "Revolution starts up" --choose "invisible" --close the dialog box --quit Rev --relaunch Rev... --type " put the stacksinuse" into the msg box and there you are... now you have your own lib routine ready whenever you start Rev. (Note: This library routine may NOT be compiled when saving as a stand alone app. I am not sure how this part works. I think you have to include the lib stack as a sub stack.) and now use put tabString(4) & "Hello" Jim Ault Las Vegas On 6/17/06 10:03 PM, "Jared Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > As I was trying to make a string, I instinctively wrote something like: > > put tab * 2 & "Hello" into field "Field" > > This returned an error.
