Hi,
I would do something like:

to test
if currentpass = run word "log (last currentuser) + 1 [thendothis]
end

For example:
if currentuser equall log3, the procedure test  will do the following:

if currentpass = run log (last log3) + 1
or
if currentpass = run word "log 3 + 1
or
if currentpass = run word "log 4
or
if currentpass = run log4
or
if currentpass = whatever reports log4

Sort of. What I mean is that I dont want to do a new line for each one,

if currentuser = log1 [thendothis]

when I do that, I have to make a new line for log1, when log1 is created, and log2, and log3, and log4, and so on. If someone creates a user, with the username as log1, and the password as log2, I would do this.

if currentuser = log1 [if currentpass = log2 [thendothis]]
if currentuser = log3 [if currentpass = log4 [thendothis]]
if currentuser = log5 [if currentpass = log6 [thendothis]]

and so on.

Hi,

Not sure I understand, but if you mean:
How can I report the contents of a text box based on a variable instead of the actual name, in order to avoid having ONE full IF statement for each user?
Then the answer (or part of the answer) would be:

if currentuser = run word "log :n [thendothis]

word "log :n
will report something like
log1
running that will report the contents of the text box named
log1

Is that it?

question [Set username]
run se (word "setlog :n) (word "" answer)
setnusern nusern + 1
make "n nusern
newtext word "log :n
se -200 (200 -(:n * 25))
[100 25]
question [Set password]
run se (word "setlog :n) (word "" answer)
end

this program works for creating two boxes, one with username, one with password. I was stuck when trying to get it so that they could login. I could make a question for user and pass, and have a text box, currentpass , set to the answer of the password question, and currentuser for the user question. If I did this,

if currentuser = log1 [announce [logged on]]
stop

but this would not work in less I manually added if currentuser = log1, if currentuser = log2, etc.

Is there any way to do this so when someone creates a new user, I need to do nothing for it to work?

thanks

Hi!

Ho! I see the problem. Your text box is called LOG1 (or LOG2...). So, the dynamic primitives (based on the text box name) are:
SETLOG1
and
LOG1

So when you say
SETLOG
this corresponds to nothing.

You need to run something like SETLOG1

There are two solutions:
run se (word "settext 1) (word "" "bar)
That works, but it's awful Replace RUN by SHOW to visualize what's going on.

Or, simpler:
tto word "setlog :n
ct pr answer

There you go! Yo seem to know what you're doing! Congrats!

Here is the code, given there is a button which does newuser 1 and a textbox called nusern

When I tried it, I had difficulty in getting it to set the content of the text box. With the code below, when I tried it, it said "I DONT KNOW HOW TO SETLOG"

to newuser :n
make "n nusern
newtext word "log :n
se -200 (200 -(:n * 25))
[100 25]
question [Set username]
setlog :n answer
setnusern nusern + 1
end

Hum!
Sorry, not enough info to help you.
Can you write, in plain English (pseudo code), what your button has to do?

Hi!
Sure!
Check onreadline in the Help, in the section about Text boxes, or in
the
vocabulary.
Basically, you run (only once) an instruction such as:
onreadline "text1 "run
and the text box named text1 will "run" each line when you type
something in
it and press Enter.
99% of people will do exactly that, but you may use any instruction: onreadline "text1 "fd (be sure you type only numbers in that text box)
onreadline "text1 "go (that, being a procedure name)

I had heard that you could make a text box the command center, so
typing
things in the text box will make it run programs just like the command
center. How do I do this?
