The 'repeat for' is generally a lot faster then the 'repeat with',
but in a case like this with only a few iterations, it wouldn't make
a noticable difference. But with long lists, it can really make a
huge difference.
Best,
Mark
ps. in cases like these I generally don't bother putting the list of
names in a variable, I do this:
repeat for each item i in
"name2,examier2,vsmiFld,vsmiFld2,ci1,vsmiFld3,vsmiFld5,vsmiFld4"
put empty into fld i
end repeat
So there's yet another variation...

This is weird because field tName is a variable.
Here is the script:
put
"name2,examier2,vsmiFld,vsmiFld2,ci1,vsmiFld3,vsmiFld5,vsmiFld4" into
tNames
REPEAT for each item tName in tNames -- Clears all fields
put empty into field tName
END REPEAT
I don't have to use this script but I hate to empty the fields the
long way:
put empty into field "name2" of card "index"
put empty into field "examiner2" of card "index"
put empty into field "vmiFld" of card "Index"
etc.
Can anyone tell me why repeat script does not work?
I still consider myself a newbie. Up until now I have used this
list to ask
questions when I get stumped. This question was educational for me
too. Up
until now I would have scripted the above like this
put "name2,examiner2,vsmiFld2,ci1,vsmiFld3,vsmiFld5,vsmiFld4" into
tNames
repeat with R1 = 1 to num(items) of tNames
put "" into fld item R1 of tNames
end repeat
Is there any advantage in the other method or is it just another
way of doing
the same thing? Revolution is great in that there’s usually several
ways of
doing something and most of the time that’s the point, Still I’d
like to be
the most efficient.
Thanks again to all the people that contribute so much time to make
this so
very helpful. I’d be lost without all of you.
