Belle Nuit Textfilter FAQ

How can I use multiple Inputs?

There are several ways to use multiple texts:

• You can append a new input to the existing text, and then analyze both parts. Be sure to insert a separator before to properly separate both texts.
• You can define a key as a side-effect of a script. Later, you can use this key as secondary input.
• You can use the Input Folder to Text filter.
• You can use the script functions gettextcount and getothertext to compile multiple texts to one.

I get the Error 14 on Script filters ("This isn't a function, but you are calling it like one"), but I am not at all using a function in the offending line. What is going wrong?

Probably you have used an identifier which was not defined. When the undefined identifier is on the left side, the compiler returns correctly "Error 10: The identifier is not defined". However, when it is on the right side, it tries to read is as a function and fails. In the following example, a typo created the error - texta is not defined.

dim text as string

text = "mytext" + texta

will return the following error:

Compiler Error at line 2:
text = "mytext" + texta
Error 14: This isn't a function, but you are calling it like one
