Here is an interesting handler so that a user can enter a time in a
field in a "shorthand" and get a full, properly formatted date out of
it.
Here are some examples:
enter this = get this
1 = 1:00 PM
12 = 12:00 PM
123 = 1:23 PM
1234 = 12:34 PM
add an "a" at the end for am, like:
1a = 1:00 AM
We have been using this for a few days and everyone really likes it,
it seems intuitive and faster than any other method of entering a time.
field script:
ON enterInField
convertTime
END enterInField
ON returnInField
convertTime
END returnInField
ON closeField
convertTime
END closeField
put this somewhere in the message path:
ON convertTime
put the text of the target into t
IF (char -1 to -2 of t = "am") OR (char -1 of t = "a") THEN
put "AM" into ampm
ELSE
put "PM" into ampm
END IF
REPEAT for each char c in t
IF c is a number THEN put c after t2
END REPEAT
SWITCH
CASE the number of chars of t2 < 3
put ":00" after t2
break
CASE the number of chars of t2 = 3
put char 1 of t2 & ":" & char 2 to 3 of t2 into t2
break
CASE the number of chars of t2 = 4
put char 1 to 2 of t2 & ":" & char 3 to 4 of t2 into t2
break
END SWITCH
put space & ampm after t2
put t2 into the target
END convertTime
