Speech and commas

[Thomas McGrath III]

Ok, after reworking it a dozen times I cam up with a weird but understandable solution. I had to surround the variable with quote to force revSpeak to see it as a quoted line of text. Since the tNum variable only has one word in it revSpeak seems to handle it just fine but because the tTTS has commas in it somehow revSpeak is confused by the variable and must see it as something other than a piece of text. Now it works:

on mouseUp
    put "THE TOP ROW. ESCAPE and Function keys F1, F2, F3, F4, F5." into tTTS
    put "6" into tNum
    send "TASpeak" && "Expanding" && quote & tTTS & quote && tNum && "Tasks!" to me in 1 millisecond

end mouseUp

on TASpeak pTextToSpeak
    --revStopSpeech
    wait until revIsSpeaking() is false --with messages
    revSpeak pTextToSpeak
end TASpeak
