Noob question - put into field without erasing text?

[TubooBokBok]

Hello. I am new to Live code and have a question.

I have two buttons, when button 1 is clicked it will display 1 on a label, and likewise when button 2 is clicked it will display 2 on the label.

I want it so when you press button 1 then button 2 it will display 12 on the label, however at the moment the 2 will erase to 1 so only 2 will be displayed.

I am using the code

Code: Select all

put "1" into field Answer

How would I change this so the buttons just add the new text instead of overriding the previous text?

I hope this makes scene, and thanks in advance for any help.

Hi TubooBokBok,

1. welcome to the forum!

2. You can put text BEFORE, INTO and AFTER a field (or text in a field)!
So you need to:
...
put 2 AFTER fld "answer"
## Always use QUOTES around object names!
