amount of () in ()
Amount of () in ()
The amount of () in () block is a reporter block in the Lists subcategory that reports the number of the entered item that is found in the list. For example:
when gf clicked delete all of [names v] add [Gobo] to [names v] add [Scratch Cat] to [names v] add [Tera] to [names v] add [Pico] to [names v] add [Tera] to [names v] say (amount of [Tera] in [names v]::list) for (3) seconds //will say "2" for 3 seconds
The default value of this block is "foo". The block is case-sensitive, so if "Tera" in the input for this block was "tera" instead in the above example, it would have report 0 instead.
Workaround
This block can be worked around by iterating over the list, and seeing if the value is exactly equal to the wanted value:
define amount of (string) in list set [index] to [0]::#0869c2 set [count] to [0]::#0869c2 repeat (length of [list v]) change [index] by (1)::#0869c2 if <(item (get [index]::#0869c2) of [list v]) = (string)> then change [count] by (1)::#0869c2 end end
