When I first started with LC, one of the first things I tried was to
see if something like the first construction above processed "like
it should". I think I tested "the foundField". I was astonished that
it did not. Is there is something deeply ingrained in the way this
type (all types?) of parsers work that it can not do this?
I'm not sure how any parser could tell if you meant the variable to be a
container or the value that's in it. "Get the clickline" is just a
shortcut for "put the clickline into it". So you have:
put the clickline into it
put random(99) into it
which is functionally the same as:
put "abc" into it
put "def" into it
What we really need is a mind-reading processor. I could have used that
today.
