I'm having a bit of a senior moment here folks. I've looked through lots of LC and RunRev documentation and I can't find a clear and simple definition of a string. Sometimes they have quotes around them and sometimes they don't. So what's the difference between a string and a literal?
OK, now that you've had a good laugh,; hear me out. Using "selectedObject" I've extracted the long ID and the object name from the selected object. The name comes through as object type and "Object Name". So programatically the code will know what kind of object I've selected and what it has been named when the time comes to use it. I strip word 1 (the object type) out of the returned selection info and place it into a variable. This is to be used to determine which object I want to work on. Then I strip what is left (the object name) out and place it into a variable. But when I try to access the object name variable the IDE says it can't find it. I've tried the object name variable with quotes around it and I've tried it without quotes. Still no luck. Any hints, ideas or solutions? _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
