put...after

Syntax

    put expression after chunkExpression

Description

Command; evaluates a Lingo expression, converts the value to a string, and inserts the resulting string after a specified chunk in a container, without replacing the container's contents. (If `chunkExpression` specifies a nonexistent target chunk, the string value is inserted as appropriate into the container.)

Chunk expressions refer to any character, word, item, or line in any container. Containers include field cast members; text cast members; variables that hold strings; and specified characters, words, items, lines, and ranges within containers.

Example

This statement adds the string "fox dog cat" after the contents of the field cast member Animal List:

    put "fox dog cat" after member "Animal List"

The same can be accomplished using this statement:

    put "fox dog cat" after member("Animal List").line[1]
