The problem is that the keys of myArray does not return the values stored in myArray;
instead it returns a list of the keys. If myArray is:
myArray["key1"] = "first value"
myArray["key2"] = "second value"
myArray["key3"] = "third value"
Then the keys of myArray will return:
key1
key2
key3
I think you want something more like:
put empty into arrayText
put the keys of myArray into listOfKeys
repeat for each line aKey in listOfKeys
put myArray[aKey] into anElement
replace comma with tab in anElement
put anElement & cr after arrayText
end repeat
delete the last char of arrayText
put arrayText into fld "display"
Note that this assumes that you store the items in the order you want to display them,
and that none of them already have tabs in them.
Finally (I think I need to drink more decaf today) bear in mind that this task is
about to get much easier. New abilities coming in the next version will allow you to
use:
--not available in current version
put empty into arrayText
repeat for each element anElement in myArray
replace comma with tab in anElement
put anElement & cr after arrayText
end repeat
delete the last char of arrayText
put arrayText into fld "display"
to get the values directly.
Or even --this one's the easiest, and certainly the fastest
--not available in current version
put myArray into workArray
combine workArray using cr
replace comma with tab in workArray
put workArray into fld "display"
