create field on specific positoin

[Ian McKnight]

Hi Matthias

You could try the the following

Create your three fields, size them and apply any formatting you need.
Name each field X_1; X_2; X_3 as 'X' will contain your line number
Correctly position the fields relative to each other, as they would
appear on your card, and group them.
Now hide the group.

Now all you need do is

-- tXord is the X coordinate of your first line's group
-- tYord is the Y cordinate

put the number of lines in myTextFile into tNumberOfLines
put 20 into theDistanceBetweenLines -- this value is determined by the
height of your field and the distance you want between them

Repeat with theNextLine = 1 to tNumberOfLines

clone group "myhiddengroup"
set the name of  the last group to "Line"&theNextLine -- rename your
group eg Line 7 or Line 3?
set the loc of the last group to tXord, tYord +
thedistancebetweenLines -- put it into position you will need to
-- ungroup -- insert this command if you want the fields separated

repeat with theNextField = 1 to 3
set the name of field "X_"&theNextField to theNextLine"&"_&"1" --
renames X_1 to theLineNumber_1
end repeat
end repeat

This is rough untested code. I assumed that your lines will form
columns on screen.

Hope this helps.
