Zugg Software :: View topic - short trigger not sure whats backwards on it

Posted: Sat Aug 21, 2004 6:20 pm

#forall @doing {#loo 5 {#var @manathem=%ADDITEM( (%item( @doing, %i)), @manathem)}}

ok simple trigger goes thru a sting list one element at a time for each item in list it places into a new list 5 times when i run it it just doesnt seem to work prolly got one of the elements backwards

@doing is orginal string list
@manathem is the enlarged duplicated list
any help would be good

The problem is that both the #FORALL and #LOOP commands use %i. By nesting them like this, %i maintains the value of the #FORALL loop, so the %item function isn't working right (the second value is the current element of @doing instead of the number value from #LOOP).

Also, you have 2 syntax errors with your #VAR command: don't use the @ symbol when assigning a value, and don't use the = when assigning via #VAR. IOW, the syntax is either "#VAR variablename {variable value" or "variablename = {variable value".

I believe this will accomplish what you want:
