 Roll Eyes Have sub items' folders filled in,  based on a TABLE of the item's parents!
 
 
for this example,
 
 
you have several store locations,
at each location you have staff.
 
You want to print out a shift schedule,  but you don't want to have to type in each persons name over and over, etc.
 
You could use a Pulldown list  ==> if you have less than 256 options.
 
but sometimes it's just easier and much faster,  to enter first & last initial, etc.
 
 
or many other instances where being able to LOOKUP A TABLE  is extremely helpful!
 
(results could also be used in calculations, etc. etc.)
 
 
here,  you could have a different list of names (different table) for each location..  
 
also,
 
you can have multiple tables....
 
 
key rule is:
 
 
Quote:
++:!+NFP:imatch([^Table], "(?:^|\n)\Q" + [Index] + "==>\E(.*)(?:\r|\s*$)"):

here is an alternative structure,
 
using a very simple rule:
 
 
Quote:
++:!:eval("[^Shift" + [Shift#] + "]"):

 
 
which also demonstrates the power of the "Eval()" expression... to build rules 'on the fly'....
 
 
 
here you have an actual table (ecco style) to fill in -- each folder # gets a distict value, and you reference each item by that folder # (could also be name/digits, etc.)
