Some of you may be aware that here at Eggplant we have had a series of bi-weekly discussions around interesting topics about SenseTalk. Sometimes we discuss lesser known functionality such as iterating over records pulled from an Excel datasheet:
repeat with each item myCurrentRecordof (the records ofmyConnectionString) by reference
Sometimes it is key functionality such as working with chunks with which people are less familiar:
put “The great grey green gooey goblin” into monster
put “ugly” into words 2 to 5 of monster
put monster → “The ugly goblin”
or
set text to "[a]hello[b]bonjour[c]hola[d]"
set marker to <"[", character, "]">
put occurrences 2 to 3 of markerintext --> ([b],[c])
put "$$$" into occurrences 2 to 3 of marker in text
put text --> [a]hello$$$hola[d]
What lesser known features of the following might interest our users:
- API calls?
- SQL Queries?
- Migrating to Eggplant Studio?
- Using Virtual Assistant and other AI Tools?
Also, a quick pitch for the Lunch and Learns that are coming up. You may be surprised to see elegant solutions to problems that you have “brute forced” in the past.
Please reply with your suggestions.
