Jared,
I hear where you're coming from with the whole JavaScript background. Both
languages have flexible string handling, and very similar constructs!
One thing I love about Revolution, though, is chunk expressions and how
flexible they are. One way you could express what you want, for example, is
to say:
set the itemdelimiter to tab
put "Hello" into item (x + 1) of fld "Field"
...which obviates the need for a repeat loop altogether. Makes up for
JavaScript's ability to do "math" on strings :)
