Re: Using groups as custom dialogs: a solution for Mac, PC and iOS

[Ken Ray]

That's because "the params" includes the original function call as well... try:

  if the paramcount = 0 then
    send "initMe" to tObj
  else
    get matchText(the params,".*?\((.*?)\)",tParams)
    send "initMe" && tParams to tObj
  end if

That should work...
