How delete entries from screen copy?

[Airton Luciano]

Hi.

I am trying to delete entries from a dictionary copied from screen to a local variable. After eliminating the entries with a non numeric value at first position I need to create a file with remaining data .

Attached are the code and log.

What am I doing ?

Why don't you just iterate and save to file if the iterator value excludes a digit?

You're right but the problem is that some records are often missing (probably not written due to too fast iteration vs. physical write operation). So, when possible, it's much better to write to file once from a unique string...

You are using Magic Text for Arrays instead of Dictionaries (check Help option of the Iteration action)

2 errors : you wrote [iterator_index], which isn't valid ([iterator_array_index] for array and [iterator_dictionary_key] for dictionary (your case)) ; right now you are deleting the key "iterator_index" and not "[iterator_index]". In your case you need to write this in Define manually : [[iterator_dictionary_key]]

It's exactly what I just said!

To really help users, we'd better give them "tools" to find solutions by themselves unless they really can't find at all. If so, we can give them the exact solution.
