Re: [Jmol-users] how to echo a javascript variable?

[Thomas S. <tho...@gm...>]

Thanks Angel --  I have, but Jmol merely echos "null" or newline or
something to the screen.  I know it's echoing *something* because it paints
over text that is there from an earlier echo....if I give a javascript level
"alert" then I get the proper text in the pop-up window, but it's not going
to the Applet for some reason....

Here's what I'm doing (in part):

var headerInfo = jmolGetPropertyAsString("fileHeader");
var cutUp = headerInfo.split("\n");
var headerstring="";
for (l=0;l<cutUp.length;l++) {
     var regexp = new RegExp("TITLE.{5}(.*)\s*");
     var temp = cutUp[l];
     if (temp.search(regexp) == 0) {
         temp2 = RegExp.$1;
         temp2.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, "").replace(/\s+/g, " ");
headerstring += temp2;
}
}
headerstring.replace(/TITLE/, "");
alert(headerstring);
jmolScript("echo @headerstring");

(It's meant to extract the TITLE lines from the PDB file header, remove the
TITLE at the beginning, remove all extra whitespace, and then echo that to
the Applet on loading a PDB file)
