Does the exression builder support a "while" statement?

kevinshih

Would like to do something like the following:

while(dataSet.nasNext()){
if(dataSetRow==1) {
"Yes"
}
}

Thanks!

Hi kevinshih,

Can you explain exactly you're tying to achieve?

I was pulling data from a meta-table to retrieve a bunch of name/value pairs to display various properties of an object. Then I wanted to cycle through the name/value pairs to display the appropriate property in the proper table cell.

What I ended up doing is telling the data set to grab all of the name/value pairs. Then in each display table cell, I added a new table and bound it to the data set, but with a filter set on a particular name/value pair. Then I just added the value field to the new table to display the data.

Not sure if this was the best way, but it kept me from writing a lot of script and has the added benefit of only touching the database once.
