basic table field

Post by herbwords »

Hi to All,

I'm still using cards. I can't seem to grasp data grids and sqlite. I may get sqlite soon.

If you collected data from 5 fields on a card and have 20 cards what would the script look like to display the information in a basic table field.

Thanks,

Patrick

Hi.

I use cards too.

Table field contents are tab and return delimited. I do not know what kind of data you have in your card fields, but in a button somewhere, if you:

Code: Select all

on mouseup
   repeat with y = 1 to 3
      put random(99) & tab & random(99) & tab & random(99) into line y of temp
   end repeat
   put temp into fld "yourTableField"
end mouseup
click the button and you get all kinds of useful integers in the table field. Can you take it from here?
