I am doing a quick study of the Datagrid object and getting a
confusing result.
For me, there is a time-deadline this week, so I need to figure this
out quickly.
Defining a datagrid group, five columns, then running the following
stack script
-- Rev 3.5.0 build 860
-- relaunch and open only the test stack
on testLoadDgrd --postTimeDgrd
get the cpGTasklist of this stack
--using tab delimited lines
get line 1 to 11 of IT
set the clipboarddata to line 2 to -1 of IT
put true into keyy
set the dgText[keyy] of group "postTimeDgrd" to IT
end testLoadDgrd
-------------------------
The result is that only column one is loaded with data, yet all of the
tab characters are loaded.
If I use the inspector:Contents and paste in the same data, all
columns are filled.
Why the difference?
All column labels are the correct case
Even using
replace ":" with comma in IT
--makes no difference
-------------------------------
The 11 lines of the incoming data table
Post Race Track City State
09:34 1 FLX Farmington NY
09:54 1 RDX North OH
09:54 1 RDX Cincinnati OH
09:59 1 WOX Rexdale ON
10:01 2 FLX Farmington NY
10:09 1 CRC Miami FL
10:15 2 RDX North OH
10:28 3 FLX Farmington NY
10:31 2 WOX Rexdale ON
10:36 3 RDX North OH

Thanks for any help,
It is a little disconcerting to get stopped on page 5 of the tutorial.
