Getting a list of marked cards

[ncmac]

What does this return a list of the marked cards separated by many, many returns in the field and how can I get the list of marked cards as a list without the empty lines between each?

on mouseUp
repeat with n = 1 to the number of cards in this stack
if the mark of card n is true then put the short name of card n into item 1 of line n of card field "DataField"
end repeat
end mouseUp

Thanks!

Hi ncmac,

separated by many, many returns in the field

Yes, one empty line = one no-mark card

This function return the list of the mark cards without empty line

Code: Select all

function TheMarkedCards
   put empty into rTheMarkedCards
   repeat with n = 1 to the number of cards in this stack
      if the mark of card n is true then put the short name of card n & return after rTheMarkedCards
   end repeat
   delete char -1 of rTheMarkedCards
   return rTheMarkedCards
end TheMarkedCards

You can use also :

Code: Select all

filter MyVariable without empty

Best regards

The following should work also since you can directly access using the "marked" keyword.

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   repeat with n = 1 to the number of  marked cards in this stack
        put the short name of marked card n into item 1 line n of field "DataField"
   end repeat
end mouseUp
