Increment a numerical string

[acidman]

I see on the rosetta page there is a task for incrementing a numerical string, should I make it as a udf with several extra functions like how much to increment a number with E.g? lets say we want to increment 1 should there be options to increase it with an x amount of numbers? like incr 1 with 2, 3, 4 or maybe 5? So we will start with 1 if incremented with 2 it should be 1, 3, 5, 9, 11 etc.

acidman,

For the majority of people reading this thread what you have written will make little or no sense at all - I imagine many of them have no idea about the "rosetta page" to which you refer. I suggest you add a link to the task so that at least they can see what you are talking about.

Surely if you want to improve your knowledge of programming provide code first and then ask on ways to optimise it.

;increment by 2
$string = "1234"
Do
$string = $string + 2
tooltip($string) ;so you can see it increasing
Sleep(1000) ;so you can see it increasing slowly
Until $string = 0

I will add some code later when I am at home on my pc...

The example in that page corresponding to autoit, is very similar to what i posted, what else do you need?

nevermind

You just need to clarify what it is you hope to achieve.

if its so easy for ppl to write code from the rosetta page, why dont folks do it then?

Are you talking about an A.P. (Arithmetic Progression )

Func _AP_Return( $iStart, $iComDiff, $iLast )
Local $sRet, $sAppend = ", "
For $i = 1 To $iLast Step $iComDiff
$sRet &= $i & $sAppend
Next
Return StringTrimRight( $sRet, StringLen( $sAppend ) )
EndFunc

MsgBox( 0, "Return", _AP_Return( 2, 7, 23 ) )

Sorry man, still don't get what you need, or what you're talking about...
