- | The //%Calculate%1+2%// token returns the result of performing a calculation. | + | ===== Calculate Token ===== |
- | This allows you to include any [function](:Functions) in a text field. | + | The //%Calculate%//**<formula>**//%// [[:Tokens|token]] returns the **numeric** result of performing a calculation, |
+ | where //**`<formula>`**// may be any of the following: | ||
+ | * Mathematical formula like `(2 + 3)*12` | ||
+ | * Use any [[token:Variable|Variable]] which may be evaluated as a number | ||
+ | * :!: Just enter the Variable Name (without the `%`) in the Calculate token **`<formula>`** | ||
+ | * Examples: | ||
+ | * `%Calculate%MyVar + 1%` | ||
+ | * `%Calculate%(MyVarWordsPerSec * 60)/MyVarWordsPerPage%` | ||
+ | * Use any of the built-in Keyboard Maestro [functions](:Functions), like [[function:RANDOM|RANDOM(10)]] | ||
+ | * Get the numeric value of an Variable array element, like `MyVar[2]`, if MyVar is `10,05,12,08` returns `5` (Arrays may contain only numeric data) | ||
- | Remember that within a calculation you can use variables unadorned. So for a variable “Count” that has a numerical value, these two are roughly equivalent in a text field: | + | The //%Hex2%// token (v8+) returns the value in Hex format, padded with zeros to two digits. "2" is just an example, you can use //%Hex8%// for example. |
- | * [%Variable%Var%](Variable) | + | The //%Dec2%// token (v8+) returns the value in decimal format, padded with zeros to two digits (similarly //%Dec5%// to five digits, etc). |
- | * %Calculate%Var% | + | |
- | A notable different would be if the variable had a value like “1.230”. Then the result of the //%Calculate%// would be “1.23”. | + | The //%Oct3%// token (v8+) returns the value in octal format, padded with zeros to three digits (similarly //% Oct5%// to five digits, etc). |
+ | |||
+ | The //%Bin8%// token (v8+) returns the value in binary format, padded with zeros to eight digits (similarly //% Bin16%// to 16 digits digits, etc). | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Example Action** | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{:token:km-7.3-calculate-token-example.png?nolink|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | A reminder that the following are only equivalent if the [[token:Variable|Variable]] is numeric: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * %Variable%Count% (Variable) | ||
+ | * %Calculate%Count% (Number) | ||
+ | |||
+ | So, if MyVar is "`005`", then\\ | ||
+ | * %Variable%MyVar% will return `005` | ||
+ | * %Calculate%MyVar% will return `5` | ||
