[jawsscripts] Re: Is there a better way to do this

Hi,

Really you're aiming for some sort  of concatenation here - putting the
strings together.
Not that you should be using say string but...
sayString("There are "+digit1+digit2+" minutes "+digit3+digit4+" point
"+digit5+" seconds left in the track on the left deck.")

The idea is to have a single string going to the  synthesizer rather than a
bunch of small, separate strings.  As I said, you shouldn't be using
sayString and it'd probably be better for you to right a function to return
the whole time as a single variable, then output that.  If you're
distributing the scripts, you'd probably want to use a message file and use
placeholders for the time and deck, so one message could output for left and
right decks or whatever other setup you have.

Cheers,
Sean.

Subject: [jawsscripts] Is there a better way to do this

OK guys,
I made a big discovery in my program scratchlive tonight.  I found out that
the remaining time is displayed in graphics that could be labeled. with the
digits from 0 through 9.  I tried to create a frame around these 5 graphics
for each deck, but the frames wouldn't read.  I then created the following
script, but I want to know if there is a better way of doing this.  Jaws
reads the info slowly.  Also, the other thing that I don't like is that the
remaining time is red in single digits. I would like it to be red in pares.
Here is the code:
Script TimeRemainingLeftDeck ()

Var

String Digit1,

String Digit2,

String Digit3,

String Digit4,

String Digit5

MoveToFrame ("TimeRemainingLeftDeck")

Let Digit1 = GetWord ()

NextWord ()

Let Digit2 = GetWord ()

NextWord ()

Let Digit3 = GetWord ()

NextWord ()

Let Digit4 = GetWord ()

NextWord ()

Let Digit5 = GetWord ()

SayString ("There are")

SayString (digit1)

SayString (digit2)

SayString ("minutes")

SayString (digit3)

SayString (digit4)

SayString ("Point")

SayString (Digit5)

SayString ("Seconds left in the track on the left deck")

EndScript


I am using Jaws 10.
