Oh... I think I get it this time. Would that really work? When I have
finished sobbing I may have to come and give you a big slobbery kiss.
That is quite clever, in the way that a marmoset is probably not.
In addition to me being quite thick, I think I missed the point because
you weren't setting the value of catname in the loop
Would this then give the output desired assuming the recordset is sorted
on catname:
var currentcat = ''
loop until end of recordset
if currentcat != recordset.catname then
// do whatever you need to do for each category
write recordset.catname + "<br>"
currentcat = recordset.catname
end if
// do whatever you need to do for each thing
write "- " + recordset.thing
recordset.nextRow
end loop
It has to write two lines out for an iteration where the catname changes
but only one the rest of the time
whaddyafink?
