Re: Split to Array on Repeat Skips Every Other Line??
Yes! Brian, that works... and yes, Alex, you are also right, splitting x is indeed breaking the guideline described in the docs. thanks skts On May 15, 2005, at 8:36 PM, Brian Yennie wrote: Just out of curiosity, what happens with the following: global gSomeData # which has six lines of data repeat for each line x in gSomeData put x into y split y with "|" and tab put y["Project"] & tab & (y["hours"] +round(y["hour-fraction"],2)) & tab & y["Fund_Category"] & cr after tLog end repeat Wondering if Rev was having some trouble with the "repeat for each" variable being used as an array... - Brian ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

You can change the content of the container, but doing so will probably produce unexpected results. since "split" does change x (into an array, and to a different value), you're breaking the rule, and can't expect this to work. Hi Alex, thing is that this *used* to work in an earlier version of Rev. I can't remember which version broke it, but one day my scripts were working, and the next (after an update) they didn't... Took me a while to figure out what was going wrong (and I bugzilla'd it). It would be really helpful if the documentation explicitly mentioned that split on a foreach variable will have this effect. -- Phil Jimmieson [EMAIL PROTECTED] (UK) 0151 794 3689 (Mobile) 07976 983164 Computer Science Dept., Liverpool University, Chadwick Building, Peach Street Liverpool L69 7ZF http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~phil/ I used to sit on a special medical board... ...but now I use this ointment. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Passing x as a parameter to the function passes a *copy* of the data, and hence avoids breaking the rule. I'm not sure what Rev intended by the phrase "cause a script error" - it certainly doesn't cause the script to stop with the error box, in any example I could think of - but it does produce "unexpected" results in some cases. on mouseUp repeat for each line x in gLogData put returnLogEntry(x) & cr after tLog end repeat put tLog into fld "logViewer" end mouseup function returnLogEntry x split x with "|" and tab return (x["Project"] & tab & (x["hours"] +round(x["hour-fraction"],2)) & tab & x["Fund_Category"]) end returnLogEntry Now I get all six lines as expected: Online-Donations5.41Public Services Publishers-Desk-Interface1.25Public Services Digital-Dharma-List6.5Public Services Web-Editor-Upgrade2.17Public Services Publishers-Desk-Interface6.75Funded Projects Online-Donations1.08Public Services skts -- Alex Tweedly http://www.tweedly.net -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
