Why do LC (and HC for that matter) fail to process multi-line variables when using
"do"?
on mouseUp
--get "AA" & return & "BB"
get "AA"
repeat with y = 1 to 2
do "put" && it && "into temp" & y
end repeat
answer temp2
end mouseUp
If the variable "it" contains one line, the "do" construction
works fine, making numbered temp variables as needed. But if I try the routine with a
multi-line "it", the handler
will not compile.
Creating an unknown number of variables is a natural fit for arrays:
on mouseUp
get "AA" & return & "BB"
repeat with y = 1 to 2
put it into temp[y]
end repeat
answer temp[2]
end mouseUp
