Augmenting a Number

[bp30102]

I am new to programming within QM2. What I am looking to do is to copy a number from a field, add one to the number and paste it back into the same field.

To perform various operations with text and numbers, store the text in a variable. You can use the Text dialog (the first button in the floating toolbar) to create code to copy and paste using a variable.

If it is an arithmetic operation, the variable type must be int, or double, or long. Use function val() to convert string variable to number.

Code:

;select all text
key Ca
;variables
str s
int i
;store selected text into variable s
s.getsel
;convert to integer
i=val(s)
;add 1
i=i+1
;assign to a str variable (a conversion function like val() here is not needed)
s=i
;paste
s.setsel
