For loop question

Hi Folks,

This is the simplified code of what I am trying to do. I would think I would get a return of “not blank” : “blank” : “blank” : “not blank”. All I am getting is “blank”.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Patti

signatures:=“Fred Flintstone” : “Daffie Duck” : “Porky Pig” : “Elmer Fudd”;

commentnames:=“Fred Flintstone”:“Elmer Fudd”;

@For(n:=1; n<=@Elements(signatures); n:=n+1;

Elementinlist:= @Member(signatures[n]; commentnames);

Commentlinks:= @If(Elementinlist =0; “blank”; “not blank”)

);

Commentlinks

I agree with Ben that you probably intended to create a list. Try using this formula for Commentlinks, which will add a new value to the list with each iteration of the For loop.

Commentlinks:= @Trim(Commentlinks:@If(Elementinlist =0; “blank”; “not blank”))

Thanks to all of you for responding. I wasn’t thinking. I was overwriting my variable. It works with your recommendations.

Thanks,

Hi, you’re obtaining the last value of your loop, try to put the values somewhere elese while looping.

put this code in a button to see the result of your code…

signatures:=“Fred Flintstone” : “Daffie Duck” : “Porky Pig” : “Elmer Fudd”;

commentnames:=“Fred Flintstone”:“Elmer Fudd”;

@For(n:=1; n<=@Elements(signatures); n:=n+1;

Elementinlist:= @Member(signatures[n]; commentnames);

Commentlinks:= @If(Elementinlist =0; “blank”; “not blank”);

@Prompt([OK];“”;Commentlinks)

);

Don’t you want “CommentLinks” to be a list though? With each iteration of the loop, I think your code just over-writes CommentLinks, it doesn’t add to it. I could be wrong though, it’s late :wink:
