Hello Tom,
You stated:
... I have one application that presents a telephone number (10 digits) that
is read by Jaws and then needs to be input into another application ... .
A straight cut and paste won't work since the telephone number in the
database program is 2 seperate fields, area code and phone number.
You didn't state whether or not the 10-digits in application1 are already
selected, ready for copying into the clipboard and you didn't indicate
whether or not the PC cursor was located on the first digit or the last
digit or neither.
Here is my suggestion:
Assuming that you are currently looking at application1 and the 10-digit
number in application1 is NOT already highlighted and further assuming that
the PC cursor is on the leftmost digit:
Step 1. Activate my Script1 (see below) which you have placed in the *.jss
file for application1 and has been compiled successfully by you. This
script1 will place the first 3 digits of the 10-digits into the clipboard
and will place the remaining 7 digits into a JFW global variable.
Step 2. Now, go to your application2 and place the PC cursor where the area
code should be pasted.
Step 3. Paste the area code from the clipboard into that field.
Step 4. Now, still in your application2, place the PC cursor where the
remainder of the telephone number should be pasted.
Step 5. Activate my Script2 (see below) which you have placed in the *.jss
file for application2 and has been compiled successfully by you. This
script2 will copy the remaining 7 digits of the original 10-digits from the
JFW global variable into the clipboard.
Step 6. Paste the 7-digit number from the clipboard into that field.
Step 7. This one is up to you!
Code for the two scripts is given below.
The script named "GetPXNum ()" must be included in the *.jss file for your
application1 and must be successfully compiled before it will function
The script named "GetLastSeven ()" must be included in the *.jss file for
your application2 and must be successfully compiled before it will function
The Global variable named "SevenDigits" MUST be declared appropriately near
the top of both of the *.jss files of interest here.
When you create these scripts within the JFW Script Manager, you may assign
them to whatever hot key combinations suits your fancy.
;--------------------- begin code to be used with *.jss file for
application1 ------------

String SevenDigits

Int DigitCount,
String ThreeDigits
Let ThreeDigits = "A"
Let SevenDigits = "A"
Let DigitCount = 0
While DigitCount < 3
Let ThreeDigits = ThreeDigits + GetCharacter ()
NextCharacter ()
Let DigitCount = 1 + DigitCount
EndWhile
CopyToClipboard ( StringRight ( ThreeDigits, 3 ))
Let DigitCount = 0
While DigitCount < 7
Let SevenDigits = SevenDigits + GetCharacter ()
NextCharacter ()
Let DigitCount = 1 + DigitCount
EndWhile
SayString ( "AreaCodeIsInClipBoard" )
EndScript ; GetPXNum ()
;--------------------- end code to be used with *.jss file for

String SevenDigits
Script GetLastSeven ()
; activate with CTRL+SHIFT+2

CopyToClipboard ( StringRight ( SevenDigits, 7 ))
SayString ( "RemainderOfPhone#IsInClipBoard" )
EndScript ; GetLastSeven ()
;--------------------- end code to be used with *.jss file for
application2 ------------
I have tested this code using JFW 6.2 running on Windows2000Pro.

Subject: [jawsscripts] Scripting Approach
Hi All,
New to scripting and need some advice on how to approach a problem.
I have a situation where I have one application that presents a telephone
number (10 digits) that is read by Jaws and then needs to be input into
another application to do a database lookup to read back the customer
information. A straight cut and paste won't work since the telephone number
in the database program is 2 seperate fields, area code and phone number.
Doing two cuts and pastes is too cumbersome. Any ideas?
Thanks!
