RE: lingo-l property's in property lists
Thanks a lot, well worth looking into. Been working to hard I think, I'm overlooking obvious things. Well almost Christmas :D - I think this will work: assign pMyProperty a symbol instead of a string property pMyProperty, pMyList on new me pMyProperty = #thisOne --assign pMyProperty a symbol instead of a string pMyList = [#notTheOne: [1,1,1], #thisOne: [2,2,2], #notThisOne: [3,3,3]] end on myHandler me put pMyList.pMyProperty --- this is my problem, it searches for a string called pMyProperty instead of for my property thisOne end ng with programming Lingo.

Re: lingo-l property's in property lists
You can just do: put getAt(pMyList, pMyProperty) -- [2, 2, 2] Be careful mixing strings and symbols - it doesn't work with special characters, including spaces. If they're all symbols, use symbols (it'll be faster anyway). If they're all strings, use strings. Strings can be properties too, as in: pMyList =[not the one:[1,1,1], this one:[2, 2, 2], I love Lingo:[3,3,3]] - Tab At 10:18 AM 12/19/02, Mark van den Elzen wrote: Hello I'm new to this list, my question might had an answer before but I need help rather quickly.

Re: lingo-l property's in property lists
even: put pMyList[pMyProperty] will work with a symbol or a string hth Fraser Try this: put pMyList.getProp(pMyProperty) That works if pMyProperty is a string or a symbol.
