You can loop through each character in the text string: ```auto Set app variable character list to [make list from text] Label1's Text with delimiter "" (empty string). For i=1 to length of [app variable character list] by 1 If list item #i = "A" set list item #i to 1 If list item #i = "B" set list item #i to 2 If list item #i = "C" set list item #i to 3 If list item #i = "D" set list item #i to 4 Set Label2's Text to [make text from list] app variable character list with delimiter "" ``` If you have trouble getting that to work, post a screenshot of the blocks you’ve tried. ---
