...but me, so here's the problem: what do I do if single statement won't fit in a single row? What character do I use to continue in another row?

**coolncalm** · 03-10-2003, 05:12 AM

are u talking about text boxes or the script panel???

**kncisko** · 03-11-2003, 04:55 AM

yeah, sorry... in the script panel.

**coolncalm** · 03-11-2003, 05:14 AM

u cant wrap the text in the syntax panel. dont ask me why!! u just cant!!!

I know I can't. But there must be some way, I have an array that is too long to fit in a single line. Since you can't wrap the text, maybe there is a symbol (like "+" or "/" or "whatever") so you can continue in a new line (i know Lingo has one, but I have forgotten which one)

When I have big arrays, i usually write them like this:

Code:

_array = [
	"item1",
	"item2",
	"item3",
	"item4",
	"item5",
	"item6",
	"item7",
	"item8"
];
/* //OR:
_array = ["item1", "item2", "item3", "item4"];
_array.push("item5","item6","item7","item8"); */

Last week I did a PMS conversion to RGB...
over 1000 items in an array, and I broke it into multiple arrays, and then created a master array of arrays to glue them together.
Talk about over doing it. What a nightmare!
I should have known there was an easier way!!!

I guess I would have never thought of that, gSolo... pretty clever!

THX everyone
