What's wrong with this code? I'm getting 'verified' nearly all the time.
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put fld "fldReceipt" into tReceipt
put word 4 of line 1 of URL "http://domain.com/app.php?receipt="&tReceipt&"" into tConfirmation
if tConfirmation = tReceipt then
put "Verified" into fld "fldReceipt" else
put "Not Verified" into fld "fldReceipt"
end if
end mouseUp

Hi shawn,
did you verify that the webpage is loading correctly?
Try this:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put fld "fldReceipt" into tReceipt
put word 4 of line 1 of URL ("http://domain.com/app.php?receipt=" & tReceipt) into tConfirmation
if tConfirmation = tReceipt then
put "Verified" into fld "fldReceipt"
ELSE
put "Not Verified" into fld "fldReceipt"
end if
end mouseUp
You can also ANSWER tReceipt and tConfirmation, will cause the "AHA" effect most of the time
And "debugging" the script might also help
Best
Klaus

When I use the following, both match. Still everything is verified.

Hi.
The code runs fine. What is in fld "tReceipt" at the getgo? I get "tReceipt" from the web page. In other words, what is being compared to what?

I'm not sure if this will help, but I have had trouble in the past with concatenating a string within a URL before. It was probably a problem with the quotation marks, but I fixed it by concatenating the URL string into a variable instead and then using just the variable within the put URL command. This gave me an opportunity to check the url with an answer command before retrieving the data.

When the engine sees this:
Code: Select all
put word 4 of line 1 of URL "http://domain.com/app.php?receipt="&tReceipt&"" into tConfirmation
...it thinks:
1. Get the URL
2. Get line 1 of the value returned from the server
3. Get word 4 of that line
4. Append tReceipt to that
5. Put all that into tConfirmation
To help the engine understand that you want tReceipt appended to the URL rather than the result of the URL, try using parentheses for making the order of evaluation more explicit, as in:
Code: Select all
put word 4 of line 1 of URL ("http://domain.com/app.php?receipt="&tReceipt&"") into tConfirmation
