lineOffset / wholeMatches
Hello, Perhaps I misunderstand lineOffset and its behaviour when wholeMatches is set to true... The aim of the word-search algorithm I'm trying to script is to match words in one list to those in another. Actually, it's the line number that I'm after, and I want only whole matches (i.e., make should match only to make, not to homeMAKEr). And so, I've tried setting wholeMatches to true, but 0 keeps being returned even tho I know a match exists. START OF LENGTHY EXAMPLE % For example, these two fields: FIELD 1 (word families) 1tabappletabapplescr 2tabbedtabbedstabbeddingcr 3tabhometabhomestabhomemakercr 4tabmaketabmakestabmakingtabmade ---FIELD 2 (the user's word-list) -- applecr bedcr makecr sing # Here are the script variations I've tried, # and what is returned when I try a match to # to the word make. Note that all the # variations start with these two lines: put field 1 into tField1 -- the word-family list put word 3 of field 2 into tWord -- make VARIATION (1) --- put lineOffset(tWord, tField1) # This returns 3 since # homeMAKEr is on that # line, BUT 4 is what # I'm after. Fair enough, tho. VARIATION (2) -- set the wholeMatches to true put lineOffset(tWord, tField1) # This returns 0 BUT I # thought/expected 4!! VARIATION (3) set the wholeMatches to true put wordOffset(tWord, tField1) # This returns 14, which # is a correct identifying # number -- only, I want # a line number, not a # word number. END OF LENGTHY EXAMPLE % So, like I say, what am I misunderstanding... Thank you.

Re: lineOffset / wholeMatches
Hi Nicolas, here are my 4 pfennige :-) (in january that amount will equal to about 2 cents. The EURO is coming !!!) 100 pfennige make one deutsch-mark) (Where the hell is that coming from: my 2 cents ? Do do not get very far with 2 cents today, anyway...) Looks like this is more a semantic issue ;-) Wholematches in combination with lineoffset. Sounds to me that a WHOLE LINE has to match before lineoffset will return anything else than 0. Maybe i am totally wrong...

I feel this field with put 1 cr - cr into fld X by clicking with the mouse (anywhere int the line) on the first line expect that the clickline() returns the line I clicked on. In mc 2.3.2 clickline() returns a value and clickchunk() returns char 1 to 0 of field X In mc 2.4 the function returns empty until I click the textchunk 1 any proposals? have checked the archive but did not find anythink. thanks in advance and sorry for my english. I suppose this is a bug. You can use: if word 2 of the clickLine is empty then answer Please, click on a word on the line! or something similar. -- - Actually, I would consider this a 'feature'. It used to be that clicking outside the text (i.e. in the margins) returned empty, and clicking in whitespace returned char a to a-1...now it looks like if you click on text, it gives you the info, if you click on anything that is not text, its empty. Makes the logic easier than having to determine if the click was in the margin or in the text. Use the clickCharChunk/clickchar function to get the char number/char the user actually clicked on (in case you do want to know if they clicked on a tab, etc). hi all Mark, thanks for clickCharChunk. Seems to be like you described the behavior of clickline. Ans so I could solve the problem/future. regards -- Eugen Helbling _ GINIT Technology GmbH[EMAIL PROTECTED] Eugen Helbling www.ginit-technology.com Emmy-Noether-Str. 11phone: +49-721-96681-0 D-76131 Karlsruhe fax: +49-721-96681-111 Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/metacard@lists.runrev.com/ Info: http://www.xworlds.com/metacard/mailinglist.htm Please send bug reports to [EMAIL PROTECTED], not this list.
Re: mc and cgi
Klaus Major asked: the number of hits per second that MC can handle. Now how does one figure _that_ out...

Re: lineOffset / wholeMatches
Eugen Helbling advised: VARIATION (1) --- put lineOffset(tab tWord tab, tField1) It worked! Thank you. Nicolas R Cueto Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/metacard@lists.runrev.com/ Info: http://www.xworlds.com/metacard/mailinglist.htm Please send bug reports to [EMAIL PROTECTED], not this list.
read from stdin / $REQUEST_METHOD is POST
Hello, How could I limit the amount of data/chars receivable via stdin/POST in an .mt (cgi) script? I'd like to prevent something bad happening unintentionally or maliciously to the server.

finding system folder on Mac
Does anyone know how to identify the System (or better yet, the Preferences) folder on a Mac? I understand this is the place to store app-specific data on the Mac, but how does one identify it (since they can be renamed)?

Re: finding system folder on Mac
Geoff pointed me to the External collection from RunRev, since I'm still using 2.3. I guess in 2.4 you can use the specialFolderPath function.
