Shading Discarded Scores

Imported from Yahoo
1

Hi, in a similar way to the scripts used to highlight the top 3 winners of each race, I wonder if there is any similar code around to shade discarded results, as shown in the attached screen shot?

Thank you.

Regards,

Jools.

Hi Jools,

There wasn’t one that I’m aware of so I’ve added one for you and anyone else who wishes to use it.

If you go to the Sailwave site and the Effects library you will find a new one HighlightDiscards

This is dependant upon the discards being represented by brackets ()

It defaults to a light grey but you can change that easily if you want it darker.

Hi Jon,

Just brilliant - thank you so much. Will save my web guy some work in migrating to Sailwave.

I’ve easily changed the colour, but any chance of pointing out which line(s) I would need to change if I wanted to use something other than ‘()’ as otherwise it means I will end up with a ((OCS) 10) situation. There are just too many ()s in the code for me, as a non-coder, to work out which ones to change.

I know I could change the code formatting to something other than © p, but I rather like the codes being enclosed in, single, brackets.

Many thanks again.

Regards,

Jools.

Hi Jon,

Oops, thing I’ve just found a small bug. If the code formatting is set to ‘© p’ and the discard formatting to ‘(d)’ then the script you provided can highlight multiple scores for any boat that has more than one code result. See attached screen shot.

In R1 the 3rd, 6th, 8th, & 9th placed boats are highlighted erroneously. In R3 it is just the 7th placed boat, etc.

Apologies for the partial screen shot but I didn’t want to ‘publish’ real members names. Hopefully you can still see what I mean.

Let me know if you need anything further.

Many thanks.

Regards,

Jools.

Hi Jools,
As the documentation says you have to have the discards represented by ().

You can’t have both the codes in brackets and the discards otherwise it won’t work.

It should work fine for the default settings.

Feel free to modify the code if you want to use other settings

This was noted by Jon:

"This is dependant upon the discards being represented by brackets

()"

The shading won't work with your setup.

Hi Jools,

  The easiest way to modify the way codes & discards are

presented is to go to Global options under Set-up on the menu bar,
then clicking the ‘Code/discard formatting’. I use the pattern c
[p] for codes as I believe that the code is more important than
the points. But you could change this to your preference. Using my
pattern a discard is then displayed as (c [p]) - note using
capital C forces upper case codes.

  NOTE - Global preferences apply to each PC set-up and are not

part of the Sailwave.BLW file. Also personally I do not think that
using strike through for discards is appropriate as it is very
difficult to tell if 3, 4, 8 & 9 in particular are struck
through.

Kind regards,

Huw

Hi Jools,

All you need to do is change this line

var discardText = /\b)/g;

This is a regular expression and if it matches the text in the cell it will then cause it to be coloured.

You might find this site useful for experimenting

Hi Jon,

Many thanks for the reply. RegEx is something I should look into a little more, but unfortunately you image just came through as ‘cid:ii_jobd19we0’

Any change you could provide the full URL?

Many thanks again for your time.

Regards,

Jools.
