Replacing values in a textlist field

Hi all,

hope someone can help me …

I try to replace the content of a textlist with part of old values and new values. I have the following script:

…

Set item1 = doc.GetFirstItem(“textlistfield”)

Call doc.RemoveItem(“textlistfield”)

Set item2 = New NotesItem (doc,“textlistfield”,“”)

…

The problem is that the values of item1 are removed when I remove the field “textlistfield”. But I need to store the values in a temporary variable.

thanks for any help

I’m not sure what your problem is but you can store this values in an array. The easiest way is to use a variant. Thus :

…

dim temp as variant

Set item1 = doc.GetFirstItem(“textlistfield”)

temp=item1.values 'temp is now an array of strings

Call doc.RemoveItem(“textlistfield”)

Set item2 = New NotesItem (doc,“textlistfield”,“”)

…

or shorter :

…

dim temp as variant

temp=doc.textlistfield ’ temp is now an array of strings, conataining all values in textlistfield

… manipulate your array here …

doc.textlistfield = temp
