field to field

Post by appmann »

Hi.

Im trying to paste text from field on mainstack to a field on substack.
I cant figure what the right order is to fx put text from field on card on stack from field on car on stack.

is it the destination location first or is it the "from" destination first?

And the order of pointing to object on stack on card.

Can someone help?

I think its very simple and logic.

Yes :D
...
put (SOURCE DESCRIPTOR) into (TARGET DESCRIPTOR)
...
put fld "xyz" of cd 1 of stack "mmm" into fld "abc" of cd 2 of stack "kkk"
...

If fld "xyz" is on the current card (= where the script is being executed) you can omit the descriptor:
...
put fld "xyz" into fld "abc" of cd 2 of stack "kkk"
...

Hi appman,

nothing wrong with the line, IF the name of the source field is really "profieldName" and not "profilesName"
AND the source field is on the current card when the scipt executes.
