Granted, this may be too esoteric for me to understand, but I can’t seem to
make this do what I want to do
Let’s say that I have 3 globals: gGlobal1 = 10.1, gGlobal2 = 20.2 and gGlobal3
= 30.3
I have an expression like gGlobal1*gGlobal2/gGlobal3
I want to transform this to the expression 10.1*20.2/30.3.
Seems simple enough and I can do it in my usual inelegant way, but there must
be a simpler way to do this???
Sorry for my confusion.
Monte's reply seems to do the job, but if you're concerned about the
numeric format, try
on mouseUp
put 10.1 into gGlobal1
put 20.2 into gGlobal2
put 30.3 into gGlobal3
put format("%2.1f*%2.1f/cos(%2.1f)", gGlobal1, gGlobal2, gGlobal3)
end mouseUp
or just chang that last line to
put format("%s*%s/cos(%s)", gGlobal1, gGlobal2, gGlobal3)
if you *really* don't care about the format
