Automagic Forum

Wow - thanks that was very helpful. I'd suspected that I could use map but not in the way that you suggested with the _x,_y. As you suspected this is exactly how it is set up so I'll change the code today and learn something more than I anticipated :D Success! Strangely since I built my NavToggle wi...

When typos corrected in first code block, second line of second codeblock works.

Sorry running out of time - how about this:

searchvar ="flavio";

message = "flavio don't try this and stay safe lol";

searchvar_length = length(searchvar);
searchvar_start = indexOf(message, searchvar);

result = subString(message, searchvar_start+searchvar_length-1)

Edit : thought I had a solution but didn't.

The best I can do is find the first part, then find and replace that with "". However there must be a more elegant way.

I've only been using Automagic for a couple of weeks so don't know for certain. With everything I try, I test using the method I outlined and then I find out. If it works in testing it should then work in practice! So you can have a trigger with just the global variable, followed by a condition box....

I'm sure much better answers will be forthcoming but can you use: List split(String s, String pattern) Splits the string s into a list of strings by using the regular expression pattern as the delimiter. (see Regular expressions) I'm guessing that you can save the message into say 'm' then create a ...

You can set the object to null if it exists in the Global variables dialog - just leave it blank.
Then with the condition, select edit, in the top right there are three dots. Select execute and the result will be shown on screen.

I'm not yet experienced with the language but I think you can use lists or map to simplify and reduce to a couple of lines states = newList("in service", "out of service","emergencies only","phone off"); //assumes service_state is always bounded by [ 0, 3 ] or a test needed here global_phone_service...

Currently I have for 'up', 'down', 'left', 'right' recorded gestures. These work in Action boxes which are fed by individual conditions. E.g: Condition: global_navclick =='left' //global_navclick comes from a widget Action: Control UI Script: touchGesture(0,40, newList(100, 1400, 900, 1400)); All ok...
