Saving data from three text fields into a single file
Posted: Mon Jan 30, 2012 12:53 am
I have a small program that has three text fields and each field has unique data in it. I wanted to save the data from each field into a single file so I wrote the code, posted below, to accomplish this task. However, I assume there must be another way(s) of doing the same thing, but I have been unable to think of alternate solutions. If there are other ways of accomplishing the same thing I’d be interested in seeing the code. I also believe there is a limit as to the amount of data that can be put into each item in the variable “onetwothree”, but I’m not sure what it is or whether this belief is correct.
Code: Select all
on mouseUp --save text from three flds into single file
put fld "t1" into item 1 of onetwothree
put fld "t2" into item 2 of onetwothree
put fld "t3" into item 3 of onetwothree
put onetwothree into url "file: test3fields.TXT"
end mouseUp
on mouseUp --retrieve data and put into separate text flds
get url "file: test3fields.TXT"
put item 1 of it into fld "t1"
put item 2 of it into fld "t2"
put item 3 of it into fld "t3"
end mouseUp
