    Usage Of Seek Next In Selection List

    Anyone have an example of how the Character Function action 'Seek next in selection list' works and/or how it can be useful?

    I'm wondering if this is action will help me loop over a comma separated list of values entered by my users on a screen?

    Thx

    Hi Blake,

    The "Seek next in selection list" action will get the next value of the selection list after the specified value.  For instance, if you had a selection list of the alphabet, you could use this action to grab the next value after 'C'.  Which would obviously be 'D'.  You can find a bit more about it here.

    What is the end goal here?

    Thanks.

    I was wondering if I could use this function to effectively loop through a comma separated list of data entered by my users in a screen.

    I wound up not needed to do exactly that. Instead, I'm using the comma separated values as a Selection List of IDs in order to Loop a table within in my action.
