Testing for specific number in a psuedobool composite

ownedbycats · 02-24-2021, 05:19 AM

I currently have this template for a psuedobool* #currentlyreading:

Code:

program: 
	test(check_yes_no('#read', 0, 1, 0),  test(field('#lastread'), 'Yes', ''), '')

How would I also add #percentread:>0 to the test criteria? I tried using a test(cmp) but couldn't get the syntax right (probably messed up the puncuation).

* composites that return a value for "Show Checkmark" option

I am not sure what you want to do, but this might be enough of a pattern for you to work it out.

Code:

program:
	if and(
		check_yes_no('#read', '', 1, ''),
		field('#lastread'),
		field('#percentread') ># 0
		)
	then
		'Yes'
	fi

I had to modify it a bit. The pound sign broke it, and I actually wanted >1 to get it to work the way I wanted.

Code:

program:
	if and(
		check_yes_no('#read', '', 1, ''),
		field('#lastread'),
		field('#percentread') >1
		)
	then
		'Yes'
	fi

Oddly enough, this resulted in another small glitch that I reported on the bug tracker.

Assuming that #percentread is a numeric column then you need the #. If you don't have it then it uses a lexical compare where '3' is larger than '20'.

If #percentread is formatted then you need to use raw_field() to get the underlying number without any extra characters.

#percentread is interger formatted as {0}%.

raw_field('#percentread') will give you the underlying number without formatting.

When using raw_field, undefined numeric fields are assumed to have a value of zero. If this isn't acceptable then use

Code:

and(field('#percentread'), raw_field('#percentread') ># 1)

This checks if the field has a value (the first field()) and if defined then checks the value.

Since I am testing that the number is higher than 0, having an undefined of 0 works ok.
