HC to R question

[wouter]

Hi,
If the amount of cards is considerable then you can gain some time by 
changeing the script to:

on mouseUp
   put empty into field "IndexField"
   -- DON'T visit each card
mark cards where fld "Card Name" <> empty
   repeat with x = 1 to the number of marked cds
       put (field "Card Name")  of marked cd i & ";" && the ID of  
marked cd i \
           & return after index1
   end repeat	
   unmark all cds
   go to card 2 -- go to card 2 "Index Card"  -- If you were on cd 2 
originally you can omit this line
   sort index1   -- sort data within variable (option : sort lines of 
index1 by item 1 of each )
   put index1 into field "IndexField" -- put data into Index Field
   put number of chars in field "IndexField" into field "Characters"
   put number of lines in field "indexfield" into field "Line Count"
  unlock screen
end mouseUp

Have a nice day,
WA
