Enigma: how to quote zero

[yoy]

Here's a handler I put into the card script that does your script to a
variable first, then the variable into a button script...

on doit

-- global newButtonname

put "if the number of chars of item 1 of retro = 1 then" into line 1 of
tempVar

put "put" && quote & 0 & quote && "before retro" into line 2 of tempVar

put "end if" into line 3 of tempVar

put "put" && quote & 0 & quote && "into char 5 of retro" into line 4 of
tempVar

put "put short name of me into ikon" into line 5 of tempVar

put "put ikon after field retro" into line 6 of tempVar


set the script of button "One" to tempVar --use newButtonname instead of
"One" for other buttons

end doit



Create a button named One then in the message box type doit and return then
check the button's script.

Not an expert solution because I'm not an expert.

Clear or cloudy?
