Welcome John!
You will need this, I would endorse Tom's arrayEncode.
If you have not: Learn to array code RIGHT NOW, before going further with
Livecode. I resisted array for years, and it bought me a boat load of silly
coding of text files. And 100 of lines of unnecessary code.... then I are
learned about arrays. I broke my head of the desk.. saying "oh wow is me!.... I
have could have saved thousand of hours and lines of codes if use arrays from
the beginning!" (ha)
(rough draft code)
Local sTempParamArray # may good to save a local,
Command saveTempParams
Put fld "fuelNeed" into pTempParamArray["fuelNeeded'}
Put fld "timeToArrival" into pTempParamArray["timeToArrival""
# etc.
Put pTempParamArray into sTempParamArray
storeTempParams pTempParamArray
End saveTempParams
command storeTempParams pTempParamArray
put specialFolderPath("documents") & "/tempSavedParams" into
tSavedPath
put sTempParamArray into url ("binfile:" & tSavedPath)
end storeTempParams
# you will have some trigger get them back, I don't know what that would be:
Function getTempSavedParams
Put specialFolderPath("documents") & "/tempSavedParams" into
tSavedPath
put url ("binfile:" & tSavedPath) into pTempParamArray
put pTempParamArray into sTempParamArray
return pTempParamArray
end getTempSavedParams
command reLoadSettings
put getTempSavesParams() into pLastParams
put pLastParams["fuelNeeded"] into # whatever
put pLastParams["timeToArrival"] into # whatever
# etc.
End reLoadSettings
# code is a little verbose but easy to debug later.
# other wizards can improve on my baby xTalk
