noob question: foreach usage

How do I print the values of x1 and x2 in the foreach loop? ;---- start code send2: func [ arglist ][ print arglist ; prints the values foreach arg arglist [print arg ] ; prints 'x1' 'x2', not values ] view layout [ field1: field "3" field2: field "4" button "send" [ x1: field1/text x2: field2/text send2 [x1 x2] ] ] ;-----end code

Hi Doug, 'x1' and 'x2' *are* values - values of type word!. What you want are the associated values of the words, so you need to reduce the words. (Maybe you also want the words themselves ? but usually we don't.) You can reduce before passing to the function, or afterwards, inside the function, eg: send2: func [arglist][ ?? arglist probe reduce arglist foreach arg reduce arglist [?? arg] foreach arglist reduce arglist [probe arglist] ] x1: "hello" x2: "world" send2 [x1 x2] However, maybe what you want is just: send2: func [arglist][ foreach val arglist [?? val] ] x1: "hello" x2: "world" send2 reduce [x1 x2] Anton.
