Hi,
thanks to everybody who posted routines so far. I do not yet know how
they all work in detail, some of them are doing stuff I have never seen.
I guess it is time for taking another learning lesson.
So far there are only two problems:
1) The one that MrTea mentioned: Sometimes I get an error telling me
that X cannot be made into an integer.
b) Sometimes the numbers are not getting smaller and smaller by the time
but bigger and bigger. I do not know how to get rid of this problem.
Please, don't get me wrong: I am very happy that all of you are trying
to help me and I appreciate your efforts a lot. After all, it is
saturday ;-) But I did not much calculating with AppleScript in the
past, so I do not know how to solve my problems.
With very kind regards,
Martin

Hi,
I have a problem thinking of a routine which does the following:
Let's say I have a random number like 11050. Now I want to add each
pair
of consecutive digits to give the next line (so 11050 becomes 2155). I
want to repeat this step until I have a two-digit number.
I tried over and over again but did not find a solution for this
problem.
Anybody out there who could help me?
With very kind regards,
Martin

Try the following
set mynum to 11050 as string
set newnum to ""
repeat with x from 1 to (count mynum) - 1
set newnum to newnum & (((item x) of mynum) + ((item (x + 1)) of
mynum)
as string)
end repeat
repeat until (newnum as integer < 100)
set mynum to newnum
set newnum to ""
repeat with x from 1 to (count mynum) - 1
set newnum to newnum & (((item x) of mynum) + ((item (x + 1)) of
mynum) as string)
end repeat
end repeat
