Hi there,
If I have the small scripts:
2 * 2 OR 2 + 2 etc...
The only way for AppleScript not to recognize them as a string of text
is for me not to have them in quotes (" "). So what happens when I have
a dynamic string of text which needs to be equated? For example if i
display a dialog with a text field like so:
set theEquation to display dialog "Please type an equation here:"
default answer "Type Here..."
Then the result is a QUOTED equation. So my question is, after all
that, how do I make it so that AppleScript recognizes the equation for
what it is supposed to be, an unquoted equation, and calculate it?
Best Wishes
Robert Stretch
