Repeat variable name changing

[Jim Hamlyn]

Thanks for the replies so far ­ wow!

Ok it looks like I need to be a little more specific.

I¹m making a meeting scheduler. The idea is to have a field into which I can
paste return separated list of names. I have a field with a start time and a
field with a meeting length ³Add². At the moment I¹m doing it the long way
round:

on mouseUp
  put fld "StartTime" into tTime1
  convert tTime1 to dateItems
  add fld "Add" to item 5 of tTime1
  put tTime1 into tTime2
  add fld "Add" to item 5 of tTime2
  put tTime2 into tTime3
  add fld "Add" to item 5 of tTime3
  convert tTime1 to time
  put tTime & ":" & Tab before line 1 of fld "myField"
etc

You could always create a new variable and then put the
contents of the old variable into the new one then delete
the old one.

But if you explained what you are trying to accomplish
someone on the list might provide a way you haven't
thought of yet.
