hello, I've two text fields "Field1" and "Field2". Filed1 has the following data:

Data1
0,02GB
---------------------
Data2
7,00GB
---------------------
Data3
0,35GB
---------------------
Data4
2,00GB
---------------------
Data5
10,00GB
---------------------
Data6
2,77GB

I want to find out those data which has more than 5,00GB value. So I've wrote a button script like this:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   put field "Field1" into tField
   repeat for each line tLine in line 2 to -1 of tField
      if tLine > "5,00GB" then
         put tLine & cr & "---------------------" & cr after field "Field2"
      end if
   end repeat
end mouseUp

Unfortunately, it's not giving the expected result. I want the following result in field Field2:

Code: Select all

Data2
7,00GB
---------------------
Data5
10,00GB
---------------------

I need someone's help. Thanks in advance...

Hi,
This script does the job.
Please, write back if you need

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   --  put field "Field1" into tField
   put field "Field1" into tData
   put empty into field "Field2"
   put empty into tData2
   --   repeat for each line tLine in line 2 to -1 of tField
   repeat for each line tLine in tData
      if "----------" is in tLine  then next repeat
      if "Data" is in tLine then
         put tLine into tRefLine
         next repeat
      end if
      --    if tLine > "5,00GB" then
      replace "," with "." in tLine -- decimal use "." not ","
      put the value of char 1 to -3 of tLine into tSize
      if isnumber(tSize) then
         if tSize > 5.00 then
            replace "." with "," in tLine
            put tRefLine & cr & tLine & cr & "---------------------" & cr after tData2
         end if
      end if
   end repeat
   delete char -1 of tData2
    put tData2 into field "Field2"
end mouseUp

Best regards

Hi.

You can always trust what Jean-Marc says.

Here is another way, more brute-force, but smaller. It does rely greatly on the consistent structure of your data. This may become untenable if that varies a great deal. In a button script, with your data in fld 1

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   get fld 1
   replace comma with "." in it
   replace "GB" with "" in it
   repeat with y = 1 to the number of lines of it
      if line y of it is a number and line y of it > 5.0000 then
         put line y - 1 of it & return  & line y of it & "GB" & return after temp
      end if
   end repeat
   put temp into fld 2
end mouseUp
