Prompt order without blanks

[Scantron]

I was wondering if anyone knows how to use check boxes to populate a prompt value in the order they were selected. For example, if you have check boxes numbers 1 to 10, and the provider only wants check box 1, 3, 7, and 9. I want those values to populate in the prompts without leaving blanks. There is a nursing instruction order with 10 free text prompts. Currently I am only able to populate by concatenation, but then the prompt values for 2,4,5,6,8,10 will result in blank lines when you look at the order details.

Looking like this:

cb_1 = some value prompt_seq 1

cb_2 = null prompt_seq 2

cb_3 = some value prompt_seq 3

cb_4 = null prompt_seq 4

cb_5 = null prompt_seq 5

cb_6 = null prompt_seq 6

cb_7 = some value prompt_seq 7

cb_8 = null prompt_seq 8

cb_9 = some value prompt_seq 9

cb_10 =null prompt_seq 10

 I would like the selected values to fill like this:

cb_1 = some value prompt_seq 1

cb_3 = some value prompt_seq 2

cb_7 = some value prompt_seq 3

cb_9 = some value prompt_seq 4

Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance,

Michael aka Scantron

Could you put your concatenation code inside an IF statement?  That is, something like

EDIT,IF,,cb_1,NE,"",THEN
EDIT,SET,,mystring,CAT,"some value prompt_seq 1"

EDIT,IF,,cb_2,NE,"",THEN
EDIT,SET,,mystring,CAT,"some value prompt_seq 2"

EDIT,IF,,cb_3,NE,"",THEN
EDIT,SET,,mystring,CAT,"some value prompt_seq 3"

That way, you'd only get the ones you cared about.

Hey Michael,

Make ten hidden txt boxes for the ten prompts, that's straight forward.

Write a loop on submit to add the values from the checkboxes to an array, then a second loop to write them the hidden prompts. If the array has four values, it'll output in 1-4.

That work?

Russ,

I will try the array, hadn't thought of that.

Thanks!
