Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Situation: I have an XML-powered scoreboard graphic. If you know a little about basketball, it's nice to be able to show percentages. Unfortunately, the XML generated by my stats program does not put out a percentage field. 😓

Question: In either the Title Editor or GT Title Designer, is there a way to automate some simple math so I can have one field in the XML field divided by another field? Thank you!

Sample File: https://www.dropbox.com/...m3vkwor/example.xml?dl=0

Would love to automate fgm="16" divided by fga="61" to output 26.2!

Sae answer as given on FB ;-)
Small script reading the values from a (invisible) title field where the original values are stored , do calculation and write to a visible title field

Alternativly write a script/app to convert the xml by adding values based on the calculations and using the resulting file as a data source (more elaborate)

As Doggy described it, let's assume you have a GT Title name:
simplemath.gtzip
This GT Tile has the fields:
fga.Text
fgm.Text
result.Text
The fields fga and fgm are filled in by the XML database.
Then you run a small script in vMix, which then gets the two values and fills the result into a third field.

Attention: Textfields in scripts are casesensitive

Code:
dim fgm,fga,result as double                                    'defines 3 number values
do while true
fga = cint(Input.Find("simplemath.gtzip").Text("fga.Text"))     'gets value fga from the title
fgm = cint(Input.Find("simplemath.gtzip").Text("fgm.Text"))     'gets value fgm from the title
result = (fgm/fga *100).ToString("F2")	                        'calculates the result with 2 decimals
Input.Find("simplemath.gtzip").Text("result.Text")=result       'writes result back to the title
sleep (500)                                                     'waits a while, can be adjusted (500 = 1/2 second)
loop
