Hello:
I'm new to applescript. I am sequencing and assigning 9 digit labels in quark
4.11 (using os8.6 / v1.3.7)
I need to start out with a 9 digit number, say 700100100, increment it by 1
and end up with a printable string. But, this number is automatically
reformatted by applescript to 7.001001E+8
for example this won't work (for me):
set x to 700100100
repeat with i from x to x + 100
set x to i as string
end repeat
Is there any way of ignoring scientific notation, or any other workaround?
Thanks for any help!
