Bonjour Andre,

Bonjour,

I need to test if a given list field in a stack contains some values or if it is empty. Well, by "empty" I mean that the field contains not any word or number. But it happens that it may include carriage returns and/or tabs.
In such cases :
field "thisField" is empty
return false.

If there were only carriage returns, I could test if each line of the field is empty;
indeed :
line x of fld "thisField" is empty
returns true if the only character in the line is cr
but returns false if there is at least one tab in the line.

I just tried :
if last char of fld "thisField" is empty  ;-))

that seems working well ! but a bit strange and might be not reliable ?

Is there a better trick ?

I would go like this:
...
put fld "Your field here" into Field_content
replace CR with "" in Field_content
replace TAB with "" in Field_content
## replace anything else that might be necessary

if Field_content = empty then
## do your stuff...
end if
...

Hope that helps.

Thanks for any idea

Best regards from Grenoble
André

Best

Klaus
