Property Lists: How to insert a variable as a property?

Hi.
I am trying to insert a variable in place of a newly defined
property to be added to a poroperty list.
This would normally add a new a new property to a poroperty
list :
Database [#needtogetvariablehere] = typedPassword
-- 'Database' is the property list, 'needtogetvariablehere'
is the new poperty and 'typedPassword' is the new property's value
- thisall works fine.
I'd like to generate new property names dynamically using an
editable text box. How do I replace the new property name '
nedtogetvariablehere' with a variable?
I'm sure I've got to put some rounded brackets in somewhere
but everything I try spits out a syntax error.
eg:
myVariable = "blablabla"
Database [#(myVariable)] = typedPassword
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I don't know of a way, despite the responses so far, to
convert a variable
name to a symbol then to use it as a property. You must hard
code it as you
have seen in the responses.

How to insert String variables in Execute Immediate Statement

Hi,
I have query
dept varchar2(10);
dept :='electronics'
l_dyn_sql_input600_cbs := 'select EmployeeName,AGE,' || dept ||' from Employee'
EXECUTE immediate l_dyn_sql_input600_cbs;
when i run the query it says "electonics" Invalid identifier.
Can anyone help to rectify the query

What are you actually trying to do here:
- Select employee name, age and the string literal 'electronics' from the employee table?
- Select employee name, age and the dept field from the employee table?
- Select employee name, age and dept from the employee table where dept = 'electronics'?
- Something else...?
Doesn't seem to make much sense as it is right now...
cheers,
Anthony

The query is

Hi,
Right click the mouse->create->table
If you want 5 columns, you need to declare 5 cells in one line type of the table

then in the header/main area of the table, click create Table Line, Rowtype is L1, automatically 5 cells will come,In each cell create a text element, display the variable to be printed there.

Use Xcode to copy/paste more belts. Rename belts as needed.
This is only the plist structure for drilling down and does not include details for each category beyond the items shown.
You can't be doing any of this if you have zero experience - you'll have questions for every tiny step and unless someone builds your app for you, you'll go ahead very, very slowly.
It is up to anyone with zero experience to spend time going thru the most basic hello world tutorials, as an example, and learn enough to be able to gain some traction on their own...this is not trivial stuff that you can just install a few tools and make what you want the next day, sorry.
See this post for beginner resources:

How to Insert Data in Database using BCS with out External List

Hi,
How to Insert,Update and Delete User Interface data using business connectivity service with out External List.Please suggest me solution.

Once you've configured the external content type, you can interact with it using the BDC Object Models available to you. You can use server side or client side and interact with the database without an external list.
Check these links:

How to insert list or library documents to custom db

Hi All,
I have small requirement how to insert the list or library documents to Custom Database using server object model.
Thank,
Raj

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to insert some list items to a custom database using Server Object Model.
I suggest you can read some list field value you want using SPList and
SPListItem Object, then you can use SqlConnection and
SqlCommand object insert value to your custom database.
Here are some detailed code demos for your reference:

How to insert, as an input variable within formula, the total time window on scope?

How to insert, as an input variable within formula, the total time window on scope (i.e. 20ms/div x 10 div = 200ms)?
BELOW IS AN EXAMPLE OF ISSUE:
FORMULA FOR ACTION INTEGRAL:
STATISTICS:
Input variable: DPO4034(CH1);
Check Box: number of samples.
FORMULA
Input variable 0: DPO4034(CH1); alias: x0
Input variable 1: "Total Time Window on Scope???"; alias: x1
Input variable 2: Number of Samples (CH1); alias: x2
Under Operation Setup: Formula
Y= (x0^2)*(x1/x2)
Output: Processed Data 1 (CH1)
THEN USING STATISTICS:
Input signal: Processed Data 1 (CH1)
Check Box: SUM
Output: CH1 Action Integral [A^2s]
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi again Catherine,
I have now added another TekScope (TDS3032B) along with the DPO4034 and run the same work-around on the TDS3032B using CH1 as the "real" signal channel and CH2 as the "burst width" channel. However, the value returned for CH2 is nominally 99E+36 (min 99E+36, max 99E+36) with very few retrievals of correct burst width (~200ms). Seems the SignalExpress program is unable to consistently retrieve from TDS3032B the actual burst width (scope's time scale/window) and defaults to 99E+36 value. Any ideas on what is occurring and how to make it work? Attached are some screen captures to help guide discussion.
Regards,
Michael

How to insert data to the specified row column of the multi column list box

Hi All
How do i insert data into the specified column of the multi cplumn list box?
I have a table that containsall station nos and name.Then another table contains the data the various stations having at for 24 hrs.That is 12 am to 11 pm.
And i want to display each stations details as follows using a multi column list box/table
My stationinfo table
stnno   stnname......................
s1           stn1
s2            stn2
s3             stn3
The other table
stnno      sysdatetime       data
s1             12am                   1
s2              12am                   4
s1               1 am                 2
So the station s1,s2.... will have data for 24 hrs.
And i want to display it as follows using a multicolumn listbox
stnname        12am   1 am ......................................11pm
s1                   ...................
s2                 ........................
What i have in my mind is to get all station nos
and in a for loop get the station's data from 12 am to 11 pm
or
select every statios data for each hor.But in this case i have to query the database 24 times.So i dont think its a good way.
Or any other better query available?
Can anybody suggest me a good idea?
One more thing...how to insert data into the specified field row or column of a multi column list box?
Thanks in advance

How can I create a property list inside a property list?

How can I create a property list inside a property list?
I have a string(that I pulled from a text member). the string
is actually a propert list.
the property list has another property list inside it..
how can I use this list ? how can I conert the text to a list
that director will understand?
thanks.

Not sure if this is what you're wanting, but to make a list
from a text
member you could do something like ...
myList= []
-- Fill myList with values --
repeat with i = 1 to member("YourTextMember").line.count
add myList, (member("YourTextMember").line.i)
end repeat
Haven't checked it, but it should work.

How do I build a dynamic property list?

It has been a long time and all my old Authorware stuff is in the shed somewhere. I want to dynamically build a property list statement in Authorware 7
I figured it was something like property_list[1]["#"^variable_text]
but this doesn't seem to be working so I just wanted to check I was using the correct syntax?

Found some old code.
I think you need to do
property_text = "#"^variable_text
then you can do the following
property_list[1][property_text]
That seemed to work.

How do you create a searchable property list?

I am trying to create a searchable database of historic military figures. It will be a permanent list of people that will not change. I need to be able to search the list by first and/or last name and create a selectable list. Once a search list is created you can click on a name to display all the data on that person. Also there should be an option to browse the entire list. The original 1000 name list is provided in an excel document. I am having a brain freeze on this. Any examples would be helpful. Thank you!

The simplest option might be to use a genuine database instead of a property list. For example, there's a free xtra from Valentin Schmidt for this (SQLite xtra)
Otherwise, you might create a list of property lists, with named properties being keys to search on, something like:
lData = []
lPerson = ["firstname": "Stonewall", "lastname": "Jackson", "data": "Some data you wish to record against this person's name"]
lData.append(lPerson)
lPerson = ["firstname": "Robert", "lastname": "Lee", "data": "Some data you wish to record against this person's name"]
lData.append(lPerson)
-- etc…
