Counting problem

I know I am going to feel like a dope, but why does the first script always properly give ten counts in the array variable "counter", but the second can give anywhere from five to sixteen, and maybe others? on mouseUp put "a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j" into temp repeat 10 get any item of tem

Does NOT work for me, tried 5.5.1 to 6.0.1 (community) and it just does random freakishness. On osx ML. On Fri, May 24, 2013 at 4:16 PM, Peter Haworth wrote: > On Fri, May 24, 2013 at 2:56 PM, wrote: > > > I know I am going to feel like a dope, but why does the first script > > always proper

Re: Counting problem

Just tested by changing the line to.. add 1 to tcounter[( item random( the number of items in temp) of temp)] same result, very weird. On Fri, May 24, 2013 at 4:19 PM, Peter Haworth wrote: > On Fri, May 24, 2013 at 2:56 PM, wrote: > > > get any item of temp > > > I almost hate to me

Re: Counting problem

I see the same problem on both 5.5.3 and 6.0.1 - but testing in the message box. Oddly, I happened to notice that if I change the script to be put "a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j" into temp repeat 10 add 1 to counter[any item of temp] put counter["b"] into tJunk -- i.e. I add a si

Re: Counting problem

I thought about this when I thought the problem was just picking a random answer. I made a simple sorting function and I didn't use 'any' because I needed the value and the position. Dar On May 24, 2013, at 4:19 PM, Peter Haworth wrote: > On Fri, May 24, 2013 at 2:56 PM, wrote: > >> get a

Re: Counting problem

Perhaps even stranger: if you start for example with put "a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j" into temp put 0 into tcount delete variable tcount repeat 10 add 1 to tcount[any item of temp] end repeat the loop works fine, even if the variable tcount was not defined as an array and was deleted before the loo

perhaps the limits should be upped just a little bit to accommodate the bulky html baggage. 32k would be perfect. On Sat, May 25, 2013 at 12:46 PM, Colin Holgate wrote: > I use Mail, and it has a Make Plain Text option. I needed to use that when > posting a script a few days ago, to get it unde

Re: message too big (was Re: Counting problem)

I recognize there needs to be a limit but I think 16k is a little antiquated these days, 32k would be better. Pete lcSQL Software On Sat, May 25, 2013 at 12:51 PM, stephen barncard < stephenrevoluti...@barncard.com> wrote: > perhaps the limits should be upped just a littl
