Re: Putting the result into a field
The function returns a string literal containing the chars of the digit and % symbol to be stored in the field. LiveCode is not a strongly typed language and so it will do its best to make sense of what values you give to any operator. In this case, however, it won't be able to calculate a numeric v...

Re: Putting the result into a field
See my answer and sample stack that I already provided here: http://forums.runrev.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=76885#p76885 as also mentioned there, if btn "Purchase type" = "Private" then will not help you because the button will never EQUAL "Private" but its label or menu history or custom property ...

Re: Fields of Joy... but Start of Line? (='.'=)
Ciao Mariasole, Using a slightly different approach, but again a very useful demonstration of the versatile chunking and text handling capabilities of LiveCode: repeat for each line tLine in field "fString" set the caseSensitive to true set the wholeMatches to true answer tLine if tLine is not among...

Re: Nested "if" statements
One thing you really do need to do is be careful with the difference between a function and a handler. Handlers invoke scripts when a message generated by an event in the application matches the defined handler in an appropriate place in the message path. When you click a button, for instance (among...

Re: Nested "if" statements
With a drop down (ie combo box or option menu) button you can find out the currently selected item in the menu by testing the menuHistory property, which returns the line number of the last selected item in the menu. In the script of the calculate button you could: -- say the menu choices are "Priva...

Re: Nested "if" statements
You can't put a button into a variable and have it do anything meaningful in this situation. You would have to determine what value you wanted according to the button state, or some other condition you determine. I imagine you are more likely to want to have a button to press which performs the calc...

Re: Nested "if" statements
Hi Klausimausi, I don't think that was the same question (see my offering about "is among" for that solution on the other thread"). This one about Excel may be helped by understanding the nested if/then structures in the spreadsheet formula =IF(G4="Private", IF(G6>2000000.01,7%,IF(G6>1000000.01,5%,I...

Re: IF and... multiple OR | (=*.*=) A newbie nightmare
This should do the trick, if you don't want anything more sophisticated
Code: Select all
put "(?:[,!$])" into tMatches
repeat for each word tWord in field "fList"
if the last char of tWord is among the chars of tMatches then
answer last char of tWord
end if
end repeat

Re: Error message when linking the ANdroid SDK
The latest version of the SDK seems to have changed some file locations and removed others. Try copying the apkbuilder (apkbuilder.bat?) file into the "Tools" folder from a previous version. Also try copying aapt (aapt.exe?) and dx (dx.bat?) from a numbered folder under "build-tools" to the "platfor...

I have a collection of email correspondence and info from that time, but I really couldn't say if any of it would be relevant today. I can forward what it is that I've got, might be a starting point for you at least.
