Then put buildIndex into your openCard handler, and in the stack with the cards, insert a 'send "buildIndex" to stack "indexStack"' in the appropriate places to get the updates done. regards, gc Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/metacard@lists.runrev.com/ Info: http://www.xworlds.com/metacard/mailinglist.htm Please send bug reports to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, not this list.

Re: Go to card by its name?
In a message dated 10/9/01 5:04:08 AM Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: on mouseUp put word 2 of the selectedline into lacarte go card lacarte of stack "Calepin MC" end mouseUp the selectedLine function returns information of the order "line 2 of field 3." Thus when yoru example above did not call the card by it's name but rather by its number in the stack. For the example just given, your third statemnet above said 'go card 2 of stack "Calepin MC"'. What you should have had instead was: on mouseUp put line (word 2 of the selectedLine) of me into lacarte go card lacarte of stack "Calepin MC" end mouseUp on mouseUp put quote & the selectedtext & quote into lacarte go card lacarte of stack "Calepin MC" end mouseup This example should read: on mouseUp put the selectedText into lacarte go card lacarte of stack "Calepin MC" end mouseUp Hope this helps.

RE: Go to card by its name?
I usually do also a card check on mouseup put the selectedtext of fld "index" into x if there is a card x then go to card x else answer "No such card" end mouseup variations... go to card x if the result is not empty then answer it & return & "card:" && X > -Original Message- > From: Dave Cragg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 09 October 2001 12:37 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Go to card by its name? > > > At 11:01 am +0200 9/10/01, Domi wrote: > ><< go to card "name" >> doesn't seem to function! > >MC 2.4b4 > > > >I made sort of of "Calepin" (note pad) with MC notes. > >It is very simple, with a "title" field and a "text" field. > >I added an "Index" substack, in which I copy the titles, one by line. > >That works. > > > >Now I want to go back to the choosen card: > >if I want to go to a card by its name, it doesn't work. > >But that works if I go to a card by its number! > >The card is given a name "on opencard", according to the title field. > > > >for instance, this works: > > > >on mouseUp > > put word 2 of the selectedline into lacarte > > go card lacarte of stack "Calepin MC" > >end mouseUp > > > >but not; > > > >on mouseUp > > put quote & the selectedtext & quote into lacarte > > go card lacarte of stack "Calepin MC" > >end mouseup > > > >I added the "quotes", but that didnt' helped > > I don't think you want to add the quotes.

Bonjour Domi, >>... >> for instance, this works: >> >> on mouseUp >> put word 2 of the selectedline into lacarte >> go card lacarte of stack "Calepin MC" >> end mouseUp >> >> but not; >> >> on mouseUp >> put quote & the selectedtext & quote into lacarte >> go card lacarte of stack "Calepin MC" >> end mouseup Try this: If the selectedtext is in a list-field, you should add more info for MetaCard to make it work. ... put the selectedtext of field "le_list-field" into lacarte ## some error-checking is always helpful... if there is a card lacarte then go cd lacarte else beep ## to have some acoustic feedback :-) answer "Merde alors!!! Cette carte n'existe pas du tout !!!" ## optional ;-) end if ... No quotes necessary, definitively !!! Now if it beeps, there is NO card with that name, definitively !!! If the selectedtext is NOT in a list-field, check the answer of Dave. In that case the selection may somehow be gone, so "the selectedtext" will be empty !!! >... > I don't think you want to add the quotes.

Go to card by its name?
<< go to card "name" >> doesn't seem to function! MC 2.4b4 I made sort of of "Calepin" (note pad) with MC notes. It is very simple, with a "title" field and a "text" field. I added an "Index" substack, in which I copy the titles, one by line. That works. Now I want to go back to the choosen card: if I want to go to a card by its name, it doesn't work. But that works if I go to a card by its number! The card is given a name "on opencard", according to the title field. for instance, this works: on mouseUp put word 2 of the selectedline into lacarte go card lacarte of stack "Calepin MC" end mouseUp but not; on mouseUp put quote & the selectedtext & quote into lacarte go card lacarte of stack "Calepin MC" end mouseup I added the "quotes", but that didnt' helped QUID? -- Regards, Dominique Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/metacard@lists.runrev.com/ Info: http://www.xworlds.com/metacard/mailinglist.htm Please send bug reports to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, not this list.
