put CountText("APPROVED NO") into howmany

function CountText data
find whole data
if the result = "not found" then return 0
put the foundChunk into firstPos
put 1 into counter
repeat
find whole data
put the foundChunk into secPos
if firstPos = secPos then exit repeat
add 1 to counter
end ...

Maybe you guys are right and I'm wrong. But I don't see what the problem is because it should only be a memory problem not a math problem. When you add two numbers together all your doing is just adding units and then carrying over if needed.

Thanks Jean-Marc, wow it looks like the LiveCode programmers need to go back to the drawing board and also learn math at the same time Their engine is running on 3 cylinders

Could someone please check this for me - It could be the LiveCode version I'm using 🤔

put (10000000000000000 + 1) = 10000000000000000 ? -- incorrect
put (10000000000000000 + 2) = 10000000000000002 -- correct

No wonder the numberFormat function doesn't work properly 🙄 There's heaps more

put ...

I'm only using LiveCode version 652

Cripes.

🤣🤣🤣 Spot on richmond62👌Yes until I want to release something I'll pay for a licensed version. Another thing is I'm using a LiveCode PPC version running on a PowerPC G4 laptop with only 512 MB of ram. I think that was the last version for the PPC. It ...

I can live with this its slightly better than the previous function :)
-- v0 = 00000000000000000000000000000000
-- v1 = 01011011111000001100110100011001
-- v2 = 00110101100001110010011100101011
-- output = 10010001011001111111010001000100
function ADDBINARY v0,v1,v2
repeat with c = 32 down to 1 ...

v1 and v2 are 32 bit numbers

If that means they are base 2 numbers then you can baseConvert then to decimal, add them, and then baseConvert the product
back to binary.

Thanks, I will give this another shot I think I had a problem with this, it wasn't converting to the correct ...

Thanks guys for your all your help I'm only using LiveCode version 652 so I don't have those inbuilt functions. It's okay I have it working so it is what it is

Thanks for the info the only thing is I don't have those functions listed in the dictionary

Hi Richard Happy New Year, Yes SHA-256 is not included in the LiveCode engine that's why I created my own functions to accomplish that. This is the last function I need to minimise to speed up the processing of the blocks. Maybe the inbuilt functions in LiveCode can't do what I need

Hi Everyone, All the best in the new year and in the future :)
I'm trying to reduce all the functions I have written for SHA-256.
The add binary function I have written needs to be shortened as it gets called most of the time. Can anyone reduce this code using LiveCodes inbuilt functions? The ...

All the best in the new year, just a suggestion could you introduce icons 32x32 pixels so it's more visual. An example could be infected = sad face vs not infected = happy face vs in-between , ,:l

Okay thanks, I see what's happening now thats very interesting. Thank you for showing me an example I was going to get around it by converting the 3 characters to ascii numbers but your example is heaps better. Cheers

Im checking if character 1 to 3 of text string = 000 it returns true for the following sets of 3 characters 0E0 0E1 0E2 0E3 0E4 0E5 0E6 0E7 0E8 0E9
Example: put "0E0" = "000' returns true - this should return false
