creating arrays

[blissland]

I'm not a newbie to writing code but I'm a newbie on FMP scripts. I want to create a script that loops a given number of times entering the ID value of the current record into the daughterID field of all the new records. And I want it to put a value into a "phrases" field in each record. Lets say the value of the phrases are "phrase 1; phrase 2; phrase 3; phrase 4". How do put phrase 1 into the first record and phrase 2 into the second, etc? Do I make an array of values in a variable like i have typed above? how do I tell it to choose the (loopcount) item in the array?

I wouldn't do it with arrays/repeating variables at all...

Since you have some programming skills ... shouldn't you be struggling too much with this template!
