Math Calculation with On Screen values.

I need to do a simple calculation using four screen values and pass the results to an If Then statement for a Log Message.   I added four string variables to my test. For each I set the Mode: 'Obje...

    Thank you both for the replies. Using the 'aqConvert.StrToInt' function was key to solving my problem. *I'm not sure where I was coming up with a 'Number' function:)

Hi Steve, 

 

I read your question and decided to attempt this myself. 

Looks like I am late to the party......but this was one way I got it to work.

I am using a combination of KeywordTests and Scripting (in python).

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I browsed to our internal hotsauce page and grabbed 4 on-screen dollar amounts and stored them as variables with a type of 'string'

I used the Object Property and then looked for the dollar amount, which I found under contentText.

 

I then used the strip function to remove the dollar sign so I could add the values.

 

 

def Mathproblem ():
Mathprob1 = '$4.99'
Mathprob2 = '$12.99'
Mathprob3 = '$4.99'
Mathprob4 = '$12.99'
Mathprob1 = ( Mathprob1.strip( '$' ))
Mathprob2 = ( Mathprob2.strip( '$' ))
Mathprob3 = ( Mathprob3.strip( '$' ))
Mathprob4 = ( Mathprob4.strip( '$' ))
total = float(Mathprob1) + float(Mathprob2) + float(Mathprob3) + float(Mathprob4)
Log.Message(total)

 

I don't know if this will answer your question entirely, but hopefully it helps point you in the right direction.
