afallison 0 Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 i have a list of around 100k items that im trying to load 500 at a time. i tried to loop $next list item 500 times but it erases the previous list item every time. so as soon as the loop is done, there is only 1 item in the box instead of 500 like i need. im really trying to prevent adding $next list item and $new line 500 times. any ideas?

steved 5 Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 What are you loading the items into? A text box, a website html element, a new list in memory? Looping the way you are looks correct so you just need to add rather than overwrite your target text and how you do that will depend on what the tarhet is Quote Link to post Share on other sites
afallison 0 Posted July 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 it's for a contact list. example url is here. basically i want to load 300-500 contacts from a list into that field. here is a screen shot of what i have now: http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/3866/shot.jpg i didn't think it would be that difficult to do this...

alcr 135 Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Try choosing it by attribute and then send keys chosen $next list item Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steved 5 Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 It looks like that would only end up with one entry. If Alex's suggestion does not work, try looping 500 times and adding to a new list. Then just set the text area to the list - it should load all 500 for you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
medway 0 Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 I had the same issue. Loading a list into the text area didnt work, threw up an error. I ended up using the send keys method, only other thing needed was to add a send keys with $new_line within the loop to add spaces otherwise everything runs together.

alcr 135 Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 You can also read the whole txt into a list using read file, and then change chosen attribute, next list item. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
