i have to make my code display in this format..

The most popular method of sales is XXXXX

The total money raised for charity is £XXXXX

But i am unsure how to do this as the help i was given did not format it in this way.

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   initialise 
   read_in MyText
   display_answer buyerinfo, buyername, buyersurname, numbertickets, MyText
   findingsales tTLA
end mouseUp

on initialise 
   put "" into MyText
   put "" into buyerinfo
   put "" into buyername
   put "" into buyersurname
   put 0 into numbertickets
   put 0 into total
end initialise

on read_in @MyText
   Answer file "Please choose a file to read into your LiveCode stack"
   
   if the result is not "cancel" then
      put it into MyText 
      put url("file:" & MyText) into MyText
      put it into fld "output1"
      end if
   end read_in
   
   on display_answer MyText, @buyerinfo, @buyername, @buyersurname, @numbertickets
      local loop
      repeat with loop = 1 to number of lines of MyText
         put line loop of MyText into buyerinfo
         split buyerinfo by comma
         
         
         put buyerinfo[1] into buyername[loop] 
         put buyerinfo[2] into buyersurname[loop]
         put buyerinfo[3] into numbertickets[loop]
         
         
         put buyername[loop] & tab & buyersurname[loop] & tab & numbertickets[loop]  into line loop of field "fresult"
      end repeat
      local tickets, totalamount, maxtickets
      put 0 into tickets
      put 10 into maxtickets
      put numbetickets[1] into totalamount
      
      repeat with loop = 2 to number of lines of MyText 
         if numbertickets[loop] > totalamount then 
            put numbertickets[loop] into totalamount 
            put loop into tickets
            end if
         end repeat
         
         set numberformat to "0" 
         
         put "The total money raised for charity is:" &&totalamount into line 5 of fld "fresult"
      end display_answer
      
      on findingsales
         
set the caseSensitive to true
repeat until MyText is empty
put char 1 of MyText into HOLDER
if HOLDER = "s" then
add 1 to Stickets
end if
if HOLDER = "W" then
add 1 to Wtickets
end if
delete char 1 of tTLA
end repeat
put ("W = " & Wtickets && "s = " & Stickets) into fld "fResult"

end findingsales

Hi Michael,

not sure, but do you mean something like this:
...
put "The total money raised for charity is:" && "£" & totalamount into line 5 of fld "fresult"
...
?

Best

Hi.

Hard to know what is wrong without knowing what the value of the file you access is. Can a literal piece of data substitute? Can you provide such a sample of text?

Hi Michaellad,
I modified your code in more livecode way, it's shorter and simpler, and I added the £ sign. Here is the new code:

########CODE#######
on mouseUp
read_in MyText
display_answer
findingsales
end mouseUp

on read_inMyText
Answer file "Please choose a file to read into your LiveCode stack"
if the result is not "cancel" then
put it into MyText
put url("file:" & MyText) into MyText
put it into fld "output1"
set the pMyText of me to MyText
end if
end read_in

on display_answer
put the pMyText of me into MyText
put 0 into totalamount
repeat for each line tLine in MyText
put item 1 of tLine into buyername
put item 2 of tLine into buyersurname
put item 3 of tLine into numberTickets
put max(numberTickets,totalamount) into totalAmount
put buyername & tab & buyersurname & tab & numbertickets & return after field "fresult"
end repeat
put 0 into tickets
put 10 into maxtickets
set itemdel to tab #changed itemedel!!!
put (the number of lines of field "fresult" ) - 1 into tickets
put "The total money raised for charity is: £" & round(totalamount) & return after fld "fresult"
end display_answer

on findingsales
put the pMyText of me into MyText
set the caseSensitive to true
repeat until MyText is empty
put char 1 of MyText into HOLDER
if HOLDER = "s" then
add 1 to Stickets
end if
if HOLDER = "W" then
add 1 to Wtickets
end if
end repeat
put ("W = " & Wtickets && "s = " & Stickets) after fld "fResult"
end findingsales
