What’s the syntax for ical POSITION event?
I’ve search in dictionary, but “position” (the little gray text down the name of the event) I not found.
In calendar the syntax is “Description”, but in event “Description” in notes…
Thank’s!

Ciao,

the property is location, not position

#3

Sounds illogical. What is this like a trick question?

#4

Thank’s and sorry!
Dear StefanK…
but NSUnknownKeyScriptError
because is not a number?


tell application "iCal"
	set punteggio to 2
	tell event 1 of calendar "Cognome Nome"
		set location to location + punteggio
		set description to "Il tuo punteggio attuale, aggiornato al " & (current date) & " e' di " & location + punteggio & " punti."
		
	end tell
end tell

:P!

+ is an arithmetic operator to add numbers
& is the operator to concatenate strings

set location to location & (punteggio as string)
#6

yes… but I want the SUM of punteggio + location …!

#7

ho capito, then you must do it the other way round

set location to ((location as number) + punteggio) as string
#8

OK! :smiley:

set prevpunt to location
set totale to (prevpunt as string) + (punteggio as string)
set location to (totale as string)

it’s right?

#9

No,

set prevpunt to location -- result is a string set totale to (prevpunt as number) + punteggio -- coerce prevpunt to a number and add punteggio set location to (totale as Unicode text) -- coerce back to text (in this case it's Unicode text)

Hi Maestro,

What is the position of an event in your mind?

gl,

#11

and the correct syntax for…

tell event “nome evento” of calendar “nome calendario”

…:smiley:

#12

This is the correct syntax

tell application "iCal"
	tell event "nome evento" of calendar "nome calendario"
		-- fa qualcosa
	end tell
end tell
