copy data from one field to another in same record

hi

I've got a large amouth of fields I want to copy data from to another field in the same record...using script copy and paste is fine for a small amount of fields but when a large number is involved, I find it long and tedious to define...is there another command I do not know about that would do the trick faster?

thanks in advance

Hi 'Luc',

Quick and easy answer... use the 'replace' command

Long answer... you can accomplish this numerous ways...

- use the copy & paste in a looping script

- export the data to temp data file and import back into the new field

- use the 'setfield' to paste the data to the new field

- use the 'replace' command to replace the contents of the new field with the contents of the data field

Hope I haven't gotten too complicated... let me know if you need further clarification. Good Luck!
