But I found this in a script from an associate: setprop portal_RowNames [headerName] rowNames
and it compiles… the first param is a variable inside square braces. Not sure it this is some LC magic or just this programmer's "style" --------- Bob S: That can only be an element of an array. Without the preceding array name, it will not compile. -------- BR: [var] # value inside square braces… that I see in some scripts… what is that about? A custom thing? or is this also some jewel expression like @ that you will never learn about unless you fall onto it? _______________________________________________ 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
