Help, I'm having problems with "/" forward slash

KevzScripts · March 8, 2012, 11:03am

Hi,

I have a script which decodes abbreviations. It works except when the code includes a “/” forward slash…

To test this I just copy a code from the property rosterCode list to the clipboard and then run the script. It all lines up and works except for the 3 instances of codes with a “/” in them.

The error is

Can’t get item 342 of {“1I”, “2I”, “1R”, “AC”, “AD”, “ABA”, “ABB”, “ABT”, “AI”, “AK”, “AL”, “AM”, “AP”, “APT”, “ARB”, “ASC”, “AT”, “AX”, “B1”, “B2”, “BK”, “BR”, “BU”, “C1”, “C2”, “C3”, “C4”, “C5”, “C6”, “C8”, “C9”, “CA”, “CC”, “CCD”, “CD”, “CG”, “CI”, “CT”, “CU”, “CH”, “CJ”, “CK”, “CL”, “CM”, “CN”, “COP”, “CPF”, “CPS”, “CQ”, “CQM”, “CQP”, “CRD”, “CRM”, “CTM”, “CTR”, “CV”, “CW”, “D8”, “DB”, “DL”, “DOM”, “EE”, “EF”, “EL”, “ELT”, “EN”, “EO”, “EQ”, “ER”, “ET”, “EU”, “EXB”, “EXM”, “EXQ”, “EZ”, “F1”, “F2”, “F3”, “F4”, “F5”, “F6”, “F7”, “F8”, “F9”, “FA”, “FB”, “FC”, “FDC”, “FF”, “FI”, “FIN”, “FLI”, “FLF”, “FLN”, “FOT”, “FAE”, “FLC”, “FRL”, “FTI”, “FTC”, “FTF”, “FHT”, “F/FL”, “FMS”, “FMT”, “FQ”, “FS”, “FSM”, “FT”, “FTM”, “FU”, “FV”, “FX”, “G”, “GF”, “GS”, “GS0”, “GS3”, “GS7”, “GS8”, “GSB”, “GSC”, “GSE”, “GSM”, “GT”, “GTF”, “GTM”, “H”, “HFM”, “HS”, “HV”, “I1”, “I2”, “I3”, “I4”, “I5”, “I6”, “I7”, “I8”, “IB”, “IC”, “IE”, “IF”, “IN”, “IND”, “INT”, “IK”, “IOP”, “IR”, “IS”, “IPT”, “IQ”, “ITV”, “JA”, “JC”, “JL”, “JPC”, “JQ”, “K8”, “KA”, “KC”, “L”, “L1”, “L2”, “L3”, “L4”, “L8”, “LAW”, “LC”, “LD”, “LG”, “LH”, “LJ”, “LK”, “LM”, “LO”, “LOS”, “LP”, “LQ”, “LR”, “LS”, “LSL”, “LT”, “LU”, “LV”, “LW”, “LX”, “LZ”, “MB”, “MC”, “M1”, “MJ”, “M2”, “MK”, “M3”, “M4”, “M5”, “M6”, “MCQ”, “MD”, “MED”, “ML”, “MIN”, “MTC”, “MTF”, “MTG”, “MS”, “MSD”, “MW”, “MX”, “N1”, “N2”, “NB”, “O”, “O7”, “O8”, “OA”, “OAM”, “OB”, “OC”, “OD”, “ODA”, “ODB”, “ODF”, “ODL”, “ODM”, “ODP”, “ODT”, “ODZ”, “OF”, “OG”, “OI”, “OL”, “OM”, “ON”, “OP”, “OPD”, “OQ”, “OR”, “OS”, “OT”, “OU”, “P1”, “P2”, “P3”, “P4”, “P5”, “P6”, “PB”, “PC”, “PCA”, “PER”, “PK”, “PL”, “PR”, “PRD”, “PS”, “PT”, “PX”, “Q2”, “Q8”, “QL”, “QM”, “QP”, “QQ”, “QZ”, “R2”, “R3”, “RD”, “RE”, “REQ”, “RF”, “RG”, “RH”, “RL”, “RN”, “RP”, “RQ”, “RX”, “RR”, “RT”, “RY”, “RZ”, “S5”, “SA”, “SAF”, “SC”, “SD”, “SDI”, “SDK”, “SE”, “SI”, “SIF”, “SJ”, “SK”, “SL”, “SLC”, “SLS”, “SM”, “SN”, “SP”, “SQ”, “SR”, “STI”, “SU”, “T1”, “T2”, “T3”, “T4”, “T5”, “TA”, “TC”, “TCW”, “TD”, “TEM”, “TF”, “TG”, “TM”, “TOA”, “TQ”, “TR”, “T/TL”, “TU”, “TW”, “TZ”, “U”, “U8”, “UC”, “ULV”, “UR”, “US”, “USV”, “VCQ”, “VP”, “VT”, “WDD”, “X5”, “X/XL”, “XR”, “XT”, “ZL”}.

Any ideas?

Thanks alastor933,

You’ve helped me again…

Any hints on how to solve this? Should I use “text item 1” instead?

cheers
