strange adding

[Michiel Spape]

Hi Tobias,
Are you sure that this is the exact code you used? For one, if I try to replicate it, with 1 list, and one inline:
dim newmarker as integer
newmarker = c.getattrib("Marker")
newmarker = newmarker + 10
c.setattrib "MarkerSearch", newmarker
debug.print c.GetAttrib ("MarkerSearch")

my debug output says 20, which is okay. Secondly, newmarker = newmarker + 10 should say, (if it would be a string operation) 3310 rather than 1033. Still, failing to replicate what you say in there, I can't help much, I'm afraid... For better code, how about this:

dim newmarker as integer
newmarker = c.getattrib("Marker")
newmarker = newmarker + 10
c.setattrib "MarkerSearch", newmarker

becomes

c.SetAttrib "MarkerSearch", cInt(c.GetAttrib("Marker")) + 10

Cheers,
Mich

Hej there,

I have a rather VB-related problem for a current E-Prime file.
In a script I want to change an EEG marker according to a certain
condition:

	if condition = 2 then
		dim newmarker as integer
		newmarker = c.getattrib("Marker")
		newmarker = newmarker + 10
		c.setattrib "MarkerSearch", newmarker
	end if


What E-Prime does is as follows: if the marker is 33 it will be 1033
afterwards. So it "adds" a ten in front of the number. Samewise, if I
added + 2, it will put a 2 in front of the number. This is strange as
"newmarker" is an integer.

Even when I use "CInt(c.getattrib("Marker"))" which should turn any
string into an integer, this doesn't change anything.

Anyway out of here?
THX,
Tobias
