Not getting what I'd expect. Please check my code.

I'm basically try to determine if the system is OSX or Windows. Not getting what I'd expect with the following.
Pointers anyone?

Code: Select all

    if fld "fldSystemVersion" contains "10" then put "OSX" into fld "fldOSTitle" else
    put "Windows" into fld "fldOSTitle"

What about something like this:

Code: Select all

    if the platform is "macOS" then put "OSX" into fld "fldOSTitle" else
    put "WIndows" into fld "fldOSTitle"

Doesn't work either, but I appreciate the assistance. Anyone else?

What does
put systemversion()
in the message box return?

This code seems to be working:

Code: Select all

if fld "fldsystemversion" contains "10" then 
      put "osx" into fld "fldOStitle"
   else
      put "windows" into fld "fldOStitle"
   end if

at least on the windows side. I have tried with things like 10.10.0, and 10.1.5, etc int the fld "systemversion" and it seems to be working. I am testing on a windows system though.....

Hi Shawn,

yep "systemversion'()" is it

But please allow a short question:
In your examples HOW and WHERE did your field "fldsystemversion" get filledt?

I have the following to fill the fld "fldSystemVersion"

Code: Select all

put the systemVersion into fld "fldSystemVersion"

Thanks!

And what exactly is the difference from using "the systemversion" directly?
