Hi Everyone
I have been working hard on my first non-trivial program.
I have 15 fields that contain numbers that I would like to convert to
certain text via an evaluate statement.
I guess I can copy the evaluate statement 15 times and then edit the
control variable to one of each of these fields but I can if I can avoid
a lot of copy and paste code, that would likely be best.
I was hoping to use a statement that looks roughly like this in bash
for field1 field2 field3 ; do something $i ; done
If I could put an evaluate statement inside it, I should be able to
avoid a big copy paste operation.
Does anyone know if this is possible or if there is a workaround?
Thanks for reading-Patrick
