Calculations in TextPipe Pro?

Ian · Post by **Ian** » Sat Nov 13, 2004 2:35 pm

Wondering if there are any sample scripts or 'easy' ways to do calculations?
Now I use Excel (Mac OS), but it would be nice if everything could be done in TextPipe Pro.

E.g. Want to add a number (130) to a tab delimited column of variable numbers.
-------------------------
524 +130 = 654
1500 + 130 = 1630
80 + 130 = 210
5 + 130 = 135
-------------------------

Any suggestions much appreciated.

Easy!

First use a tab field restriction. Inside it, use a Script filter to write a one line of code to perform your calculation.

Done.
4,000+ calculations etc. a day in a matter of seconds. Great!

Thanks,
