Hi,

i have this code that revrites multiple textfields into one. i need to change variable i into a1, a2 or a3 depending ond the value of i.

//final text should look like this

//text10: loan1

//text20: loan2

//text30: loan3

CODE:

a1=("text10");
a2=("text20");
a3=("text30");


var text = "";
for (var i=1; i<=3; i++) {
var s = this.getField("loans"+i).valueAsString;
if (s!="") text+=""+ i +  ": " + s + "\r";
}
event.value = text;

Try this:

a1=("text10");
a2=("text20");
a3=("text30");

var text = "";
for (var i=1; i<=3; i++) {
  var s = this.getField("loans"+i).valueAsString;
  if (s!="") {
    var txt;
    if (i == 1) txt = a1;
    else if (i == 2) txt = a2;
    else txt = a3;
    text+=""+ txt +  ": " + s + "\r";
  }
}
event.value = text;

    thanks this one works like a charm.  if variable i will be for example from 1 to 20 the code will build up.. but it should work as well, thanks.

    You should put the names of the fields in an array, and then iterate over it in your for-loop.

    do you mean like this? its not working, but i have never worked with arrays before 😞


    var fields = ["jedna","dva","tři"];

    var text = "";
    for (var i=1; i<=3; i++) {
    var s = this.getField("PUJCKY"+i).valueAsString;
    if (s!="") text+=""+ fields[i].value + ": " + s + "\r";
    }
    event.value = text;

    You need to better explain how this should work. Are there two sets of fields, or just one?
