Adding quotes to Cue Numbers

[Adam Burgess]

Hey all. Scripting newbie!

I think I'm aware of the differences between cue "104" and cue 104.

I think the question is how to add quotes to the cue numbers generated from this…?

    repeat with i from 1 to 16
        set j to (i * 100) + 4
        set armed of cue j to 1
    end repeat

Following works as expected, but as the project grows, hardcoding stuff feels wrong and getting very bloated…

set armed of cue "104" to 1

set armed to cue "204" to 1

…

set armed of cue "1604" to 1

Cheers, Adam

J as text

[Paul]

cue 1 is the first cue you add to your workspace

cue "1" is the cue numbered 1

they may be the same thing, but cue 10 and cue "10" are almost certainly not the same thing.

so in a script,  someCueNum needs to be a string and if a number can be converted by using "as string"

this should do what you want

tell application id "com.figure53.QLab.5" to tell front workspace
repeat with cueNum from 104 to 1604 by 100
try
set armed of cue (cueNum as string) to false
end try
end repeat
end tell

but you can also do this with wildcard OSC in a Network cue, if you cue numbering scheme matches

/cue/*04/armed false

[backup your workspace first and test this carefully as you may get inadvertent matches!]

Thanks, guys.

I kept getting errors trying to make j as text in a few different places in the script. Restarted and all is well.

Good to know about the OSC wildcard method.
