Hi Scott,
I meant to say "inexplicable to me."
Your solution works great.
However, I cannot figure out the next part:
I want to put the value of thisKey into a variable when it matches.
So I tried a few iterations of:

put value(thisVar[thisKey]) & space after newVar

but could not get anything to work - with the parenthesis in different places.

Do you know the syntax for adding the bracketed thisKey ??

Thanks,
Larry

Hi Larry:

Your situation is very explicable.  In your script you're treating
"thisVar" as an array, instead of accessing the array that you put into
thisVar.  You're trying to use one variable to refer to another.

If I understand the result you want, one way would be to use the value
function, to retrieve the data of the array stored in thisVar:

put "wgList0" & N into thisVar

put the keys of value(thisVar) into theseKeys


Hope this works for you.

Hello,

I'm using 6.6.3 on Windows XP.

This line of code works just fine:
put the keys of wgList03 into theseKeys

but the following lines of code do NOT work: (where N is 3)  -- and yes,
it IS a ZERO after wgList

put "wgList0" & N into thisVar

put the keys of thisVar into theseKeys

To me, this is just inexplicable and very frustrating.  Any help will be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Larry
