Remove "" from the list

[#1]

Hi @txnelson ,

I am trying to remove quotation mark "" from the list. 

The sitenum should have following results = {1, 2} no quotation mark. Any suggestions?

new window("", modal,
		ht = checkbox({"1","2"}),
		
			Buttonbox("Ok",
				get = ht << get selected();
				
			)
		);
	
sitenum ={};

Insert Into( sitenum, get);

Does this do what you need?

new window("", modal,
		ht = checkbox({"1","2"}),
		
			Buttonbox("Ok",
				get = ht << get selected();
				
			)
		);
	
sitenum ={};

for(i=1,i<=nitems(get),i++,
	get[i]=num(get[i])
);



Insert Into( sitenum, get);

If you have JMP16 and can be sure that the options will be numeric (which will be converted to strings), you could use Transform Each

Names Default To Here(1);

New Window("test",	<< modal,
	ht = Check Box({"1", "2"}), 
		
	Button Box("Ok",
		get = ht << get selected();
	)
);

sitenum = Transform Each({str}, get, Num(str));	

In general looping over the get list while converting the strings to numeric using Num() and adding them to a list in some way should work.

In these cases (if different values are needed for display and internal processing) I like to use associative array like you can see in the below example.

Names Default To Here( 1 );

site_aa = Associative Array( {{"Site 1", 1}, {"Site 2", 2}} );

New Window( "test",
	<<modal,
	ht = Check Box( site_aa << get keys ), 
		
	Button Box( "Ok", get = ht << get selected() )
);

site_lst = {};
For Each( {value}, get, Insert Into( site_lst, site_aa[value] ) );
Show( site_lst );

and yet another solution.

In this case, I don't get rid of the quotes, I just use the list item as a number rather than a string.

new window("", modal,
		ht = checkbox({"1","2"}),
		
			Buttonbox("Ok",
				get = ht << get selected();
				
			)
		);
	
sitenum ={};

Insert Into( sitenum, get);
print(sitenum);

site=num(sitenum[1]);
print(site);
