Title: Any way I can simplify and repeat without copying 10 times.
Post by: Panaue on March 07, 2025, 01:01:59 PM

I have a command to set up to 10 bookmarks, for recall in other commands, and was wondering if it could be done in a way that I don't have to repeat for all 10 bookmarks.

Command is:  Save to bookmark[1..10]

Set text [~Input] to '{CMDSEGMENT:1}'
Set text [~clip] to '{CLIP}'
Begin Text Compare : [{CMDSEGMENT:1}] Equals '1'
    Begin Text Compare : [Bookmark1] Has Not Been Set
        Set text [Bookmark1] to '{CLIP}' (Upper Case) (save value to profile)
        Say, '{TXT:Bookmark1} has been saved to Bookmark 1.'
    Else If Text Compare : [Bookmark1] Has Been Set
        Say, 'Bookmark has already been saved to {TXT:Bookmark1}, would you like to overwrite this? Yes or No!'
        Wait for spoken response: 'Yes;No'
        Begin Text Compare : [{TXT:~textResult}] Equals 'Yes'
            Set text [~temp] to [{TXT:Bookmark1}]
            Say, 'Bookmark {TXT:Bookmark1} has been overwritten with [{CLIP}]'
            Pause 0.1 seconds
            Set text [Bookmark1] to '{CLIP}' (save value to profile)
        Else
            Say, 'Bookmark {TXT:Bookmark1} as not been overwritten!'
        End Condition
    End Condition
End Condition


Thanks in advance!!

You can use tokens combined with text in order to form dynamic variable names which you can use in your comparisons like this:

Code: [Select]

Set text [~thisBookmark] to [Bookmark{CMDSEGMENT:1}]
Begin Text Compare : [~thisBookmark] Has Not Been Set
    Write [Red] 'TESTING: This bookmark has not been set (yet)' to log
    Set text [Bookmark{CMDSEGMENT:1}] to '{CLIP}' (Upper Case) (save value to profile)
    Say, '{TXT:Bookmark{CMDSEGMENT:1}} has been saved to Bookmark {CMDSEGMENT:1}.'
Else If Text Compare : [~thisBookmark] Has Been Set
    Write [Green] 'TESTING: This bookmark has already been set' to log
End Condition

That should help you make this into a single ambiguous condition without having to write out conditions for each bookmark number (thus eliminating the need to repeat same-same actions over and over).

Best wishes and good luck!!

Just as a follow up to save you time, note that I placed the value of the (dynamic) variable into a text variable, and used that in the condition, as opposed to assembling the dynamic variable name directly within the condition.

This works:

Code: [Select]

Set text [~thisBookmark] to [Bookmark{CMDSEGMENT:1}]
Begin Text Compare : [~thisBookmark] Has Not Been Set
...however, this would not work:

Code: [Select]

Begin Text Compare : [Bookmark{CMDSEGMENT:1}] Has Not Been Set

Thank you!! This worked wonderfully.  I just started working with the dynamic variables and it this option did not occur to me even though I have used a similar concept in other commands.
