Revolution brothers and sisters,
On the basis that the most stupid question is the one left unasked,
You bet, and I wish more people would ask the basic stuff. Good going.
I throw
myself on the pyre with this question:
I have eight multiple text fields. Numbers will go into these fields. I
want all the numbers to add up and go into the Ninth field.
Transcript being as flexible as it is, there are about a gazillion ways
to do this. Here are three, from longest to shortest:
1. Use "add" sequentially:
put fld 1 into myTotal -- put in the initial value
add fld 2 to myTotal
add fld 3 to myTotal
... etc
put myTotal into fld 9
2. Use "add" in a repeat loop:
repeat with x = 1 to 8
add fld x to myTotal
end repeat
put myTotal into fld 9
3. Use the built-in "sum" function:
put sum(fld 1,fld 2,fld 3,fld 4,fld 5,fld 6,fld 7,fld 8) into fld 9
You can substitute the field's name for the number in any of these.
I.e.: add fld "effort" to mytotal, etc.
