It occurs to me that the error report may not be as misleading as much as the interpreter is merely confused: then conditional expression is failing because it doesn't know what to do with the comparison expression. > Haven't found any documentation on "cell". > As I understand it you refer to cells in the table this way: > Put word 2 of line 3 of cd fld "theTableName" into x, > > Item reference doesn't work if you don't set the item delimiter, maybe?, > haven't tried that. Yes - the example I posted was: set the itemdel to tab if item 1 or line 1 of fld 1065 is not empty then ItemDel and lineDel let you slice and dice tabular data gracefully and flexibly. Using tabs is especially nice in Rev because of the table appearance given when the vGrid is set to true. > Before using a table it seems necessary to fill the cells with spaces or > something else, otherwise the reference to a particular cell that is > preceded with an empty cell won't be found in the right spot. A non-existent "cell" will return empty, just as it would if it existed but contained no data. For putting items, Rev will pad data to accomodate expressions. For example, if you run this: set the itemdel to tab put "AA" into item 3 of line 3 of fld 1 ...and your field is empty at the outset, it will now contain three lines with the third item in the last one being "AA". -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation Developer of WebMerge: Publish any database on any Web site ___________________________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com Tel: 323-225-3717 AIM: FourthWorldInc _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
