Thanks again.

Peace and Blessings,

I solved part of my problem by eleminating the need for iterations. I can just use the log2 operator to do the needed calculation:

on mouseUp
put field "Entry1" into f
put log2(f) into c
if c is an integer then
put c into field "result"
else
put first char of c into e <---doesn't work if the ...

OK Bernd

Here we go! I am trying to build a Octave calculator where a user can enter a frequency value, such as the frequency of middle C on a piano (261.6 hz) Hertz being the measure of cycles per second in other words 1cycle in one second equals 1hz.
Once the user clicks the calculate Button the ...

Thanks Bernd
for correcting my terrible spelling nevertheless the code does not work so I am trying a new angle:

put 0 into n
on mouseup
put field "userNum" into f
if f>=1*2^n then
put "The" && n && Octave into field result
else
<---- This is where I am stuck------->
end mouseup


what I want ...

I shoould have just tried that in the first place, but I am finding that this code is sometimes intuitive and sometimes not.

I am currently dealing with another issue. what I am trying to do is create a octave calculator where the user inputs a frquency number that number is analyzed ...

Hey folks

I was wondering if anyone knows how to allow user input to change the content of a lable. for example I want the user to enter a number in a field then click on a button(calulations will be made upon upmouse) and a lable will display the answer. Is this even possible? Please Help.

Mario

Thanks Doc

the file you sent me helped me to solve my issue. the problem was that I put quotations around my button name. Rev don't like dat.
thanks again everyone.

Peace and Blessings
Mario

Thanks for trying Doc

But still no joy here, if you want to send that file to me directly here is my email equiarch@gmail.com or email me and I can send you what I am working on. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

Peace,
Mario

Equiarch,

You could, for instance, put the following script into the field script:

on enterInField
send "mouseUp" to btn x
end enterInField

on returnInField
enterInField
end returnInField

Make sure to replace btn x with a correct reference to your button.

Best regards,


Mark

Thank you ...

Mario,
sorry, I did not pay attention to that. If you want to clear a field you could do that "on opencard".
You would put:
on opencard
put empty into field "freqField"
end opencard into the script of the card the field is on.
Than everytime you open this card = go to this card the field will be ...

Hi.

Do you mean "mouseEnter" as well as "mouseUp"?
I mean when the user types something in a field and presses the Enter Key as well as when they click the button, here is some code to clairify:
on mouseUp
set the itemdelimiter to tab
put field "freqField" *(81/80) & "hz" into item 3 line 2 of ...

hello

I am new to rev and new to programming and was wondering if there is a book or something on how to script in revTalk. You know, like revTalk for retards or something equally insulting. Just one resouce where I can learn all the basics and some trade secrets.

But for right now what I need ...

Thanks BN for your response

But I already tried that and got this error referring to the line staring with on start : card "card id 1002": compilation error at line 1 (Handler: bad handler name (may be reserved word)) near "start", char 1.
I also tried this code in the script for the field its self ...

Thanks a million Jan!
I was wondering if anyone might know of a list of all the handlers, functions, and commands etc. because this code doesn't seem to work no matter where I put it. Again please help!!!
