Re: How do I delete cloned images with the same name all at once?

[Tore Nilsen via use-livecode]

Correction of previous script:

on deleteImage
put the number of images of this card into tImages
repeat with x = sImages down to 1
if last char of the short name of image x is an integer then — you will then 
keep the image you use as basis for the clones
delete image x
end if
end repeat
end deleteImage

Re: How do I delete cloned images with the same name all at once?

[Tore Nilsen via use-livecode]

You do need to count down to 1, otherwise the counter x will become greater 
than the number of images you have on the card, halfway through the repeat 
loop. There is also no need to get the ID (neither the long or short ID) as you 
can simply refer to the image by its number (the counter x). The best solution 
is the suggestion from Mark Wieder, to place the cloned images in a group and 
just delte the whole group in one go. Then there is no need for looping or 
checking names or IDs.

If for any reason you cannot place the images in a group, you should take the 
advice from Bob Sneidar and rename each clone as you create them. The easiest 
way is to add a number to the name, storing the latest number in a variabel if 
the clones are not made within a repeat lopp with a counter. This script will 
then work:


local sImageNum

on cloneImage
clone image “ticket”
add 1 to sImageNum
set name of last image to “ticket” & sImageNum
end cloneImage


on deleteImage
put the number of images of this card into tImages
repeat with x = sImages down to 1
if last char of the short name of image x is an integer then — you will then 
keep the image you use as basis for the clones
delete image x
end if
end repeat
repeat with x 


Best regards
Tore Nilsen

Re: How do I delete cloned images with the same name all at once?

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

Rather use the long id. Just the id means your statement resolves to "delete 
456" or some such thing. 

The other thing you can do is rename the clones as soon as you create them so 
you can reference them later.

Re: How do I delete cloned images with the same name all at once?

[Lagi Pittas via use-livecode]

Hi William

First off - the send is outside the repeat but I assume that's an error in
transcribing to the email.

but this works

on mouseUp
   local gone, x
   repeat with x= 1 to the number of images of this card
  if the short name of image x is "ticket" then
 put the id of image x into gone
delete image ID gone
  end if
   end repeat
end mouseUp

the  name gives "image ticket" so it will never succeed.

Re: How do I delete cloned images with the same name all at once?

[Tore Nilsen via use-livecode]

The property “name” refers to more than “ticket”, it also includes the 
description of the control, in your case the name will be “image ticket”.
You also will need to count down from the number of images in order to delete 
all of them, otherwise you will run into a situation where x is higher than the 
number of images still on your card
Use short name instead of name, this will script  will work:

on mouseUp
put the number of images of this card into tImages
repeat with x = tImages down to 1
  if the short name of image x = “ticket” then  
 delete image x 
  end if
end repeat
end mouseUp

How do I delete cloned images with the same name all at once?

[William de Smet via use-livecode]

Hi there,

I have several cloned images and all have the same name: ticket.
Of course there ID is different.
On close card I want to delete them.
How do I delete them all at once?
Wat is wrong with this code?

on mouseup
repeat with x= 1 to the number of images of this card
if the name of image x is "ticket" then put the ID of image x into GONE
end repeat
send ("delete GONE") to me in 0 ticks
end mouseup




greetings,

William
