Use fields and data from other cards and substacks

[no1g8tor]

I may have just missed it in the docs, but how do you get data from another card and other substacks.

Example: I have a mainstack that need to retrieve data from some fields on a sub stact that contains settings for the whole program.

My if then statement would look something like this....


if field 1 is "1" and field 2 is "A" then ... Get the data from substack "data" card "race 1" field "race info"

Thanks

Get the data from substack "data" card "race 1" field "race info"

You got it almost right, no1g8tor:

get fld "race info" of cd "race 1" of stack "data"

or

put fld "race info" of cd "race 1" of stack "data" into myVar

Best,
