How to clear the cache

[Alex Tweedly]

Shawn,
you have a couple of issues here ...

1. (minor)
if this is the entire script, then   tCount is a local (i.e. handler 
local) variable, so it is re-created each time the handler is called, so 
you finish up with the same value each time. I think you ant to make it 
a script-local variable (i.e. declare it outside any handler) and then 
it retains its value from one call to the next. (I'm also paranoid, so I 
added a check for it not being a number). And since it's a script-local, 
I renamed it to sCount :-)

2. in line 3, you have an extra keyword "URL" You have

    *put* URL ("www.google.com?count=" & tCount) into pURL

and you need to simply have

    *put* ("www.google.com?count=" & tCount) into pURL

We are just trying to build up the string of the URL - what you had was 
trying to fetch it.

3. (trivial) I renamed pURL to tURL just to follow convention - it's a 
local variable, not a parameter :-)


I changed those - and a couple of other things for my testing, and got 
the following script which seems to work OK; fails with "invalid host 
address" when wifi is switched off.



local sCount
on mouseUp
    if sCount is not a number then
       put 1 into sCount
    else
       add 1 to sCount
    end if
    put   ("http://www.google.com/?count=" & sCount) into tURL
    put the millisecs && tURL &CR& the Result &CR&CR after field "F" -- 
just for testing
    get URL tURL
    if the result is empty then
       put the millisecs &&"success" &CR after field "F"
    else
       put the millisecs && the result &CR after field "F"
    end if
end mouseUp

-- Alex.
