[SOLVED] Select keyword (command, not keyword)

Post by anmldr » Thu Apr 23, 2020 3:26 am

In the LC 9.5.1 User Guide in the section "Referring to objects by name" is this code:

Code: Select all

set the name of field "Old Name" to "New Name"
// this I do not understand
select after text of field "New Name"
Is the use of the keyword "select" a typo here? In the dictionary, it says that "Use the select keyword to select an area of an image." Or, can you clarify what the writer was trying to do with the keyword in this instance?

Thank you,
Linda

Try looking at select (command) in dictionary, instead of select (keyword)
In the dictionary, it goes into what select after means...
