Re: Why doesn't this work?

Oh never mind. I was mistaken that it worked in the first “if statement”. I needed to make vNum a global variable and now it works. Bill > On May 19, 2017, at 12:00 PM, Bill Vlahos via use-livecode > wrote: > > JB, > > It is the vNum variable itself that is

Re: Why doesn't this work?

JB, It is the vNum variable itself that is empty in the if statement. If I put vNum the result is blank. Thanks, Bill > On May 19, 2017, at 11:40 AM, JB via use-livecode > wrote: > > It could be one of the fields has a space > at the end and the other does

It could be one of the fields has a space at the end and the other does not. JB > On May 19, 2017, at 11:20 AM, Bill Vlahos via use-livecode > wrote: > > I’m concatenating one field & a passed phone number & another field. > > The variable vNum works in the

I’m using LiveCode 7.0.4 on Mac OS 10.10.3. I want to figure out the time zone for an area code. I found a web service for this. I want to be able to pass the area code to the http query as a variable. It works if I hard code it but not if I concatenate it. If I put the following code in a

Re: Why doesn't this work?

Bill, It doesn't work because LiveCode first parses url [the url] and then concatenates the subsequent strings. Try using parentheses: put 805 into vAC put URL (http://www.webservicex.net/uszip.asmx/GetInfoByAreaCode?USAreaCode=; vAC) HTTP/1.1 -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille

Unfortunately neither of these suggestions work. LiveCode doesn’t like the parenthesis. I also tried using quote syntax and that didn’t work either. Bill On May 31, 2015, at 9:34 AM, Mark Schonewille m.schonewi...@economy-x-talk.com wrote: Bill, It doesn't work because LiveCode first

Thanks everyone for your ideas. They got me looking again at the combobox list of cardnames. This button was generated populated through a script. At the end of each line is a crlf which on the Mac leaves an unprintable char at the end of the line. So the spaces and tildes were not the problem
