[ask] easy way to change value of the list

[gfpoow 0]

i have a list (%list1) like below:

aaa

bbb

ccc

ddd

eee

fff

ggg

hhh

iii

jjj

 

i want to change value of all even rows to zzz

how to do that?

[LoWrIdErTJ - BotGuru 904]

divide the list position by 2, and if contains a . then do nothing else change it.

 

a even number will always be divisible by 2 evenly. where as a odd number will not.

[gfpoow 0]

using divider? i still confuse

 

okay, more simple question

from list above

how to change value in list position: 5 to 'zzz' ?

 

thanks a lot

You first asked how to change the position on all even numbered positions.

 

Now your asking how to change the value of a specific position

simply call the position number and change it.

 

 

What is the purpose, rhyme or reason for what your wanting to do and an exact formula and example could be put together.

 

and please use a real live example. Fake manipulated examples most times lead to misconception and wrong results.

Here is the code example

clear list(%random text)
add list to list(%random text, $list from text("aaa
bbb
ccc
ddd
eee
fff
ggg
hhh
iii
jjj", $new line), "Delete", "Global")
set(#row, 0, "Global")
loop($list total(%random text)) {
   if($comparison($list item(%random text, #row), "=", "fff")) {
       then {
           load html(#row)
       }
       else {
       }
   }
   increment(#row)
}

I think your confused what you want to do, and therefore wasting time on getting you the exact answer your looking for.

 

You first wanted to change an item

 

then you asked how to get the list position.

I gave you an example how to get that list position.

 

Now stead of load html to bring back the list position.

 

in that loop you can add each item to a new list, and if item = what your looking for then add something else

 

Example:

clear list(%random text)
clear list(%new list)
add list to list(%random text, $list from text("aaa
bbb
ccc
ddd
eee
fff
ggg
hhh
iii
jjj", $new line), "Delete", "Global")
set(#row, 0, "Global")
loop($list total(%random text)) {
   if($comparison($list item(%random text, #row), "=", "fff")) {
       then {
           add item to list(%new list, "text here to replace with", "Delete", "Global")
       }
       else {
           add item to list(%new list, $list item(%random text, #row), "Delete", "Global")
       }
   }
   increment(#row)
}

Finally, Thanks a lot LoWrIdErTJ

that's all i wanted

it seems you are the most active user in this forum

 

simply call the position number and change it.

 

in post #5 i mean how to change value

not to call the position

sorry for the misunderstanding

 

thanks again
