Custom Keyboard (delete letter question)

The_Gamesalad_Guru

I have my custom keyboard built and I would like to be able to backspace delete. I know I could do it with a table that logs each entry and then I could back up to the last entry but I was wondering if anyone knows a way to do it with an expression? I know the (..) adds to the letters is their an operator that GS recognizes to do the reverse.

To my knowledge there's no way to delete a character from a text attribute.

The only way would be like you said to use a table and store each entry and then work from there.

That's how I am doing it at the mo.
Storing each letter added as a table value, and then moving onto the next letter as a count. Then when I hit delete, remove 1 from the count, and remove the table entry.
then when you hit enter, add all the "letter" table values, and populate a text attribute with the result of all the letters added together.

Go and watch @tshirbooth's boggle tutorial videos. They will give you a good understanding of what to do.

I'd rather not add to my graphics with a custom font as it's only for high score names so I think I'll do the table and write it to a temp table and make the delete back up one row. Thanx all for posting!
