John:
I've had gremlins like this in the past where certain functions run
before the "interior" expression.
Or put another way: what is inside parentheses is not always evaluated
as expected when running inside a function request. I have never been
able to determine a recipe, but my solution is always the same: build
the variable first *then* run it into your function:
This could be creating wrong results (I lost your email with the button
script
put urlEncode ("Button" && tBotton) into tCurrentLocation
Try this instead (two lines instead of 1)
put ("Button" && tBotton) into tCurrentLocation
put urlEncode(tCurrentLocation) into tUploadLatestPosition
Why not must post a number? You don't really need "Button 12" all you
need is "12"
Swasti Astu, Be Well!

Here’s the server script:
<?lc
put $_POST["username"] into tUsername
put $_POST["ButtonSpot"] into tButtonSpot
put url("file:users.txt") into tUsersFile
repeat for each line tLine in tUsersFile
if item 1 of tLine is tUserName then
put tButtonSpot into item 4 of tLine
--when it gets to spot 10 it is no allowing the 1s spot only the 10s spot, so button "Button
10" shows up as "Button 1," button 11, as Button 1 and so on...
put tLine into tLine
--put return& tLine after tUsersFile
--sort tUsersFile
--put tLine
put tUsersFile
end if
end repeat
--else
--put tUsersFile
--end if
--end repeat
--put tUsersFile
--open file "users.txt" for write
--write tUsersFile to file "users.txt"
--close file "users.txt"
--put "Moving on!"

Hello!
I have 15 buttons on a card. They are each named Button 1, Button 2, Button 3,
etc. I have another button that I am using as a game piece. It moves around the
digital game board to the loc of each of the other 15 buttons. I am attempting
to save the players information into a single line, in a text file, on the
server. I’m using LC Server to manage the text file. Each line on the the text
field holds the username, password, emailaddress, and player’s game piece
button location. So a line in the text file would appear as:
jpatten,password,jpat...@bmail.com,Button 2
My player piece moves across the digital game board from button loc to button
loc, across 15 spots (button locs.) The LS Server writes the current players
location by putting the name of the button it is over. So if the player is
currently at Button 2, rolls a 3, their player moves to the loc of Button 5 and
server writes Button 5 into the last item of the text entry for that player. So
that players entry into text file becomes:
jpatten,password,jpat...@bmail.com,Button 5.
The problem is when I get to buttons (game board spots) 10-15. I can tell by
examining the code that it is exchanging, say Button 9 for Button 12 in a move
of 3, but when it puts Button 12 in for item 4 it only writes “Button 1,”
leaving out the 2 in twelve. If I go around the board, to single digits, the
code works again.
It is only when I replace the last item with a two digit number that it fails.
It’s as if it won’t allow the replacement of the single digit last item, Button
9, with a two digit item, Button 12. It lops off the 2.
Does anybody have an idea of what could be going wrong? I will put my server
code in a reply to this email, otherwise I will be put into “long message
limbo” if I paste it to the bottom of this message.
Thank you!
