As written before repeat for each does only work for chunk expressions. 
It also only makes sense if you got *really* many fields (100+)
If you urgently want to use repeat for each you can store the ID of all 
fields to be cleared in a custom property, each ID on a line in the 
cProp and do it this way:


repeat for each line theFieldToBeCleared in the cAllFields of this cd
  put empty into fld theFieldToBeCleared
end repeat


Cheers,

Malte

Hi Bill,


I want to clear fields like this:

repeat for each field tField in card "DocApplication" of stack  
"CustomForms"

  put empty into tField
end repeat

but I keep getting the error "bad terminator" -- what am I doing  
wrong?


sorry, but "repeat for each..." will only work with chunk expressions.

You will hve to use good ol':

repeat with i = 1 to the num of flds of cd "DocApplication" of stack  
"CustomForms"

 put emtpy into fld i of cd "DocApplication" of stack "CustomForms"
end repeat

Hope that helps...

You do not want the literal "x", so use the following

if the name of fld x is ("field" & x)
--without the quotes and preferentially the parens

See above :-D


You need brackets :-)
on mouseUp
  repeat with x = 1 to the number of flds
if the name of fld x = ("field" & "x") then
 put empty into fld x
end if
  end repeat
end mouseUp

No luck there



This will work, since the string will be evaluated first and without
the brackets the engine will only look for a field -> "field", but  
with the
brackets it will evaluate the string first to -> "field1" etc... in  
the loop.


Brackets are necessary most of the time when it comes to strings! :-)

sorry, but "*", if used as a wildcard, only works with "filter" and

But you could use:

if the short name of fld x CONTAINS "field" then
put empty into fld x
