for loop syntax with two tables?

[hackertom]

it is possible to write something like this and work?

var fields = ["Dropdown14.0","Dropdown14.1","Dropdown14.2"];

var fields1 = ["Text1","Text2","Text3"];

for (var i in fields && i1 in fields1)

{

    var f = this.getField(fields);

    var f1 = this.getField(fields1[i1]);

    if (f.valueAsString!=1==false && f1.valueAsString!=2==false) total++;

}

i now the syntax "for in" check only one table at the time... it is possible to check 2? because now this not work...

What want you count?

[try67 · Accepted solution]

You can do it like this:

for (var i=0; i<fields.length; i++)  {

    var f = this.getField(fields);

    var f1 = this.getField(fields1);

    if ( ... ) total++;

}

Of course, the length of the two arrays has to be the same for it to work.

PS. Your if-condition is incorrect I so removed it from the code.

What exactly are you trying to check?

[hackertom]

my thought is when only

"Dropdown14.0" is 1 and "Text1" is 2 then total++

"Dropdown14.1" is 1 and "Text2" is 2 then total++

"Dropdown14.2" is 1 and "Text3" is 2 then total++

but when e.g.:

"Dropdown14.0" is 1 and "Text2" is 2 then NO COUNT

or "Dropdown14.1" is 1 and "Text1" is 2 then NO COUNT

or "Dropdown14.2" is 1 and "Text3" is 2 then NO COUNT

or "Dropdown14.1" is 1 and "Text3" is 2 then NO COUNT

or "Dropdown14.0" is 1 and "Text2" is 2 then NO COUNT

.

The first two conditions are contradictory.

[hackertom]

What do you mean? Its not possible to create this?

[try67]

It's logically contradictory:

"Dropdown14.0" is 1 and "Text1" is 2 then total++

"Dropdown14.0" is 1 and "Text2" is 2 then NO COUNT

[hackertom]

yes you has right, my mistake remove this "Dropdown14.0" is 1 and "Text2" is 2 then NO COUNT

I wrote some possible examples..

this examples is count++ only if one is deferent then NO COUNT :

"Dropdown14.0" is 1 and "Text1" is 2 then total++

"Dropdown14.1" is 1 and "Text2" is 2 then total++

"Dropdown14.2" is 1 and "Text3" is 2 then total++

and I have another question, if i replace 2 with regular expression how to write on code? this is correct?

var fields = ["Dropdown14.0","Dropdown14.1","Dropdown14.2"];

var fields1 = ["Text1","Text2","Text3"];

var myRegExpadt = /^.*?(\B[A-Z.]{1,2}[0-9]{6}\b).*NAME:\ [A-Z]+.*$/;

for (var i=0; i<fields.length; i++)  {

    var f = this.getField(fields);

    var f1 = this.getField(fields1);

    if (f.valueAsString!="1"==false && myRegExpadt.test(f1.valueAsString)==false) total++;

}

[try67]

I don't understand why you're trying to use a RegExp for... It's better to walk before starting to run.

Your condition can be:

if (f.valueAsString=="1" && f1.valueAsString=="2") total++;

[hackertom]

i try this code and work, but has a problem : first Text field  must have 2 and then  dropdown list number 1 to count total++

if i choose first dropdown list number 1 and them write on text field 2 then no count...

My RegEx help me to check a code :  \B[A-Z.]{1,2}[0-9]{6}\b  and a name :.*NAME:\ [A-Z]+.*$

if this is true and dropdown list is 1 then only count, i replace RegEx with 2 for more easy example...

this is correct?

if (f.valueAsString=="1" && myRegExpadt.test(f1.valueAsString)==true) total++;

You can't really explain a rule by examples. Please explain the actual rule you want. If you can't, keep working on it. This is a common problem many programmers hit: trying to program (which is exact) for something not fully understood or planned. Just can't be done.

[hackertom]

it is possible to read table positions with for loop? e.g. position 1 on table fields is "Dropdown14.0" how can i read only this?

[Test Screen Name]

If you only want one element, just don't use a loop.

[hackertom]

i want to check all 6 cells

"Dropdown14.0" --> "Text1"

"Dropdown14.1" --> "Text2"

"Dropdown14.1" --> "Text3"

now I thought if loop check cell position 1 for fields=1 & fields1=2 then totall++

var f = this.getField(fields.rows[0].cells.length);

var f1 = this.getField(fields1.rows[0].cells.length);

and if I work I'm going to the other below.... this is error;

[try67]

The code I provided will do that. You can't just invent syntax and hope it to work.

[hackertom]

correct answer try67 now i understand your code...
