Before I start a new scripting project, I thought I'd check and see if
anyone has done anything similar in the past...the situation is:
I am looking for a set of scripts to control and verify data entry into a
large field. I have a stack that contains a set of three 26-row fields,
all of which must be populated with information. I am looking for a
script to handle/prevent/manage the following:
- All entries must be numeric integers
- No commas (or other non-numeric figures) may be entered
- The spacing of the fields cannot be changed (ie if row 7 is blank,
it must remain blank -- no additional returns can be entered)
- The total number of rows in each field cannot change (26 total)
- There must be some recovery procedure if a user enters a large number
that 'wraps' on the line, thus destroying the spacing
I know all of the methods for controlling these events; I'd just like to
avoid re-scripting it if someone has an existing solution ("leveraging off
of third parties" -- a popular topic at Apple right now!) ...
If you have anything that you think might be useful, I would appreciate
hearing from you!
thanks,
rob
