Subject:

hey can u help me??

hey,
for school i have to make a script called "Love Calculator"
i'm using the VBScript in microsoft word

it should be as following:
the user can enter two names;
let's say Paul and Lisa
then it will calculate all the same letters cumulative;
P(1) A(2) U(1) L(2) I(1) S(1)
then it counts the first and the last cum # of the letters so;
1+1=2 (P+S) 2+1=3 (A+I) and 1+2=3 (U+L)
then again;
2+3=5 and 3, total gives 53% (it goes on until it reaches a number from 1-100)
the interface should now say
"Paul and Lisa match each other 53%"

the problem is, i have no idea how to start or what to use at all! :(
and i have to have it done this saturday
can you give me some hints..make the start or a part (or make the full thing

but i know you guys don't do that)
or has there ever been a script that kind of works like this one on this site?

thanks in advance! i really need help :(

give me till tomorrow? i should be done by then..

I've just recently learnt vbscript.. so my tactic may not be the best, but i'm sure I can solve a simple problem like this
hopefvully once I'm done, some one with more experience can take a look and make imporovements if necessary.

id use a scripting dictionary to store the letters that have already been used, that would be easiest

how many people did this pinocchioh person pm to get them to write this script for them?

I seriously doubt their teacher has covered using dictionaries yet...

He needs to do most of this himself or he will just be worse off later on...
I have no problem helping him but he needs to understand this if it is part of a class. Why would you take the class if you didn't want to learn it?

First thing you have to do is get the variable strings into the script. (inputbox)
Then you have to break the string up letter by letter. (Mid in a For Next)
Push each letter into an array as a unique element in the array.
Then loop through each element in each of the arrays and compare it to the other elements, if it matches count it (start variable = 1 and then on match variable = variable + 1)
After you have compared each element in both arrays you should have a total value to finish the math against.

This is barebones, but it gives you an idea. I got the first half coded in about 10 minutes. The match count is somewhat trickier. I doubt I will post my script but please post yours and we will help you along.

that's ok... It's a good practice for me too...

what they say is true that you have to do it yourself in order to learn...
but from my experince, people learn better if you help them out in their first few scripts.. then they get a jist of it and not only do they learn, but they will also enjoy it, instead of having to go through all those fustration and wasting time.

Bull, if you are going to give it to him aleast post it publicly to help others that are willing to read and learn. He is getting it written for him, why does he get to establish how it gets posted?

Cybex

***EDIT***

I don't have anything against helping him it just seems shady the way he PM everyone asking for someone to write it for him and then he doesn't want it posted in the open forum so his instructor can't see where he got the code or something. I work with a few people who have degrees and certs that dont know their a** from a hole in the ground so I disagree with giving people the answers versus helping them understand the problem.

I think your Love Calculator might be getting a little TOO over-eager.

Just wanted to make a little comment on this current post.

This forum was setup to help out other scripters (give them a helping hand and share the knowledge for anyone that visits this site).

I don't believe this forum was setup for individuals to locate specific individuals to do their work for them.
Helping out a fellow scripter is fine, but the information should be passed along for everyone else.
