Concatenate a string in to the this getField() property.
Hi guys. Wondering if it's possible to concatenate a string in to the this getField() property.
I'll elaborate.
I have a script writing pro forma with two main text fields SCRIPT-1 and SCRIPT-2. (The same page is saved as a template.)
With a button I can spawn a new page with new text fields then the fields names become P1.ScriptPage.SCRIPT-1 and P1.scriptfile.SCRIPT-2.
Each page increments the 'P' value by one for the UID.
What I want to do is run a simple for loop to run through all the iterations of SCRIPT-1 and 2 on each page and bring them in to a single variable for outputting in a single textbox 'all2oneText'. This all2oneText is on a third spawned page of a different template.
This is the code I am using. Can someone help me to correct it?
getField("all2oneText").value = this.getField("SCRIPT-1").valueAsString + "\n";
getField("all2oneText").value += this.getField("SCRIPT-2").valueAsString + "\n";
//gets SCRIPT-1 and SCRIPT-2 in to all2oneText
if(numPages > 2){
getField("all2oneText").value += "More than 2 pages \n";
//checks that page quantity is big enough to contain some iterations of script-1 / script-2 items.
//Also I am outputting "More than 2 pages" to show myself that the code is actually firing.
//my simple for Loop . This is where the code doesn't work. I must have it completely wrong.
for(i = 1; i < numPages-1; i++) {
container = {};
//blank variable called container.
getField("all2oneText").value += this.getField(container["P" + i + ".ScriptPage.SCRIPT-1"]).valueAsString + "\n" + this.getField(container["P" + i + ".ScriptPage.SCRIPT-2"]).valueAsString + "\n";
//combining P with i to create the P number + "ScriptPage.SCRIPT-1" should equate to P1.ScriptPage.SCRIPT-1 output to the field.
}
}
I have completely gotten that wrong at the end I'm certain because I have no idea how to concatenate a string as a variable.
I wonder if its because the " " quotation marks are not part of the concatenation
