why cant i do this

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

i would like to do my repeat like so:

repeat with h from firstRow to loopValue

where firstRow and loopValue are variables that have been defined earlier using a prompt.

Whith this loop my prog wont work, without the firstRow and replacing that with1 then it works.

But i would like it to work as stated.
Any ideas or solutions??

#2

h → temporal variable name assigned in every loop. value = integer.
firstRow → must be an integer; the first value for “h”
loopValue → integer; when “h” is higher than this value, it will break the repeat loop

Eg:

set testH to {}
repeat with h from 1 to 5
     set end of testH to h
end repeat
testH --> {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

So, make sure that both “firstRow” and “loopValue” are numbers, and “loopValue” is higher than “firstRow” (in its basics)

#3

yeah oops.

That does make sense, never really occured to me that loopValue should be more, but then ths actually VERY obvious.

Cheers!!
