How To Create a Field for Symbol (Symbol Field) in a given Form !!!

Sonu Chopra

Hello everyone ,

I have one query regarding the creation of field for symbol in a form  . I am not able to find the corresponding hiCreateField Command for the symbol Field (float , int , string , list , bBox I was able to but not for symbol)

Can Someone Please guide me how to create a field for symbol in a given form ?  or Could you please tell me the corresponding skill command for symbol field?

Regards

    Hi Sonu,

    I don't think there is one - you need to use hiCreateStringField() and then use the stringToSymbol(..) function to turn the string value into a symbol

    Hello Max ,

    Thanks for the reply but I am currently doing the same as you suggested but the issue is coming when there is special symbol used in the string field so its creating issues in the conversion of string to symbol command.

    For Example :- If user is enter "IP-Validation" in the Field the  "-" is interpreted different in string to symbol command.

    Regards

    Hi Sonu,

    What you see is just the print representation of a symbol containing a hyphen, try this

    (symbolToString (stringToSymbol "IP-Validation"))


    ...and you will see that you end up with "IP-Validation"

    But like Andrew said - what do you need this for?
