  • Subject: Formatting question
  • From: Chris Waldrip <email@hidden>
  • Date: Fri, 20 Apr 2007 09:49:32 -0400

Two questions:
- I'm trying to take a number entered by the user, and prefix it with specific text depending on the size of that number.


- Eventually, I haven't gotten this far yet, I'd like to take that prefix and number and use that for the machine's sharing name.

Here's the part of the script I've written for obtaining the number and checking which prefix to use. At this point I just wanted to see the results so they're not being applied to a new variable yet. The first problem is that, as run from Script Editor, it doesn't display the actual value entered by the user (for me it's returning the number 3 for some reason, ymmv).

-Chris

display dialog "Enter your DNG Kit number" & return default answer "" buttons {"Next", "Cancel"} default button 1 giving up after 30
set DNGnumber to number of result
if DNGnumber is false then end


display dialog "DNGnumber is " & DNGnumber

if DNGnumber is less than 10 then
	display dialog "DNG00" & DNGnumber
else if DNGnumber is less than 100 then
	display dialog "DNG0" & DNGnumber
else
	display dialog "DNG" & DNGnumber
end if
