Hello.  :)

I have been using MetaCard 2.5 for over a decade now, and, with some free time 
on my hands, I was wondering what RunRev was up to these days. I must say.. I 
am impressed! Particularly with all of the new [web] features:

* save stack as revlet and deploy-to-web ;
* free downloadable plugin for revlets ;
* free 'player' of stacks (eg RevMedia) ;
* part to display/manage genuine tables ;
* interact with mySQL databases ;
* rev based web hosting ...

Way to go!  :-)

But how come I haven't heard much/any news about these new [web] features? From 
all of you mc/rev users, I mean. Do these features really deliver [as 
promised]? Are Revlets better (perform better) than java-Applets? Or Flash for 
that matter? Can a revlet write to the user's disk??

Do the revlets do everything a stack can? Are the revlets limited in some way? 
Do they require a server-side process[es] - CGI, AJAX, or otherwise - to do 
certain things? If so: basic things? or just extraordinary things?

Any comments on this, or any of the other aforementionned features, would be 
GREATLY appreciated. :-)

Alain

P.S.: Is this the correct list for this inquiry?


It's all happening over on the Rev list. This one is mostly just to 
discuss the MC IDE.


I think you'll find everything you want to know if you search the list 
archives: 


You can join the Rev list here: 



Info about revserver and revWeb are in the lessons near the top of this 
page: . Basically there are two new web 
technologies: one is client-side (revWeb plugin) and the other is 
server-side (RevServer.) They are also working on RevMobile to allow 
deployment to Android phones.

Brad:

Are you working in OS 10, OS 9 or Windows? When you talk about text editing
- do you mean adding text to a quicktime movie? Or just text in a
"mirrored" presentation?

On our web site - www.btathletics.com - you will find demo's of two
different programs.  One is for football coaches, the other for any coach.
They are both for the Mac. We are releasing a PC version for football this
week. (As soon as our web site has a make-over!) Anyway, to demo either
program you need to download one of the programs and then drop in a
Quicktime file with a ".mov" added to the filename or an iMovie project
with a ".dv" added to the folder name. Add this media right to the CVA or
VEC folder.

Let me know if this helps.  I haven't used RR much.  I am programing
strictly in MC.  However, the new RR - which is supposed to be out soon -
has built in hooks to capturing video.  So ... we might move over to RR.

Let me know if we can help in some other way,

There is a Script Debugger item under the Tools menu. It combines 
debugger (step, trace) with Variable Watcher into one. Its GUI is 
different but the functionality basically parallel to HC. It allows 
to set breakpoints (debug checkpoints).

Script Editor is there but you must first launch MC and then open 
your stack to run MC in the developer mode. Double-clicking the stack 
opens MC in a Player mode.

Message Watcher is not part of MC but you can try my Message Watcher utility.

http://www.robelko.com/metacard/mw.html

It does not fully replicate the MW of HC but you might find it useful anyway.

There is no variable watcher and no message watcher. I've needed these
too. The only time you can see those values is when you are debugging.
There is a script editor, which I'm sure you've used, but you probably
meant to say "debugger". There is a debugger; choose it from the Tools
menu. You can step through or step into handlers, trace and set debug
checkpoints. You cannot, however, abort a script while the debugger is running.

The error handling was changed in the recent version of MetaCard 2.4.1 (read
the readme -- I skipped over it until I got caught by something similar).
The errorobject is now defined differently. See the scripts in card 1 of the
executionError stack.

Hello Eva,

At this point, probably nothing (i.e.: don't touch to the script of the
"Execution Error" substack of stack "mctools.mc").

When this kind of error append, it's most of the time not an error
appening in the Metacard IDE error controls substack but, just an error
in NOT CATCHING WHAT GOES WRONG IN YOUR OWN SCRIPTS.

To test this possibility of trubble, just test your scripts betwin the
"try... end try" functions subset.

inquired from across the pond:

How would you search a file for a line beginning with
some id number, and then extract that line and read
each item into a separate variable name?


kv is just a holder variable 

put url "c:/windows/desktop/goodfile.txt" into kv
filter kv with "#123*"
set itemDelimiter to "@"   -- whatever yours is
put item 1 of kv into varUno
put item 2 of kv into varDos

the mac urls I'll let others handle

good luck, Michael Kann

here's a quick and (hopefully not too) dirty one:

##supposed your file is a text-file...

put url"file:" & "the_path/to_your/file.txt" into whatsoever
get lineoffset("your_id_number", whatsoever)
set the itemdel to xxx   ##  replace xxx with your itemdelimiter
put line it of whatsoever into the_line
put item 1 of the_line into etc...


...not tested, but should do the job.

If in doubt, consult your dealer or this list or me off-list ;-)

open file thefile for read
read from file thefile until eof
put it into theread
get lineoffset("#" & some id number & the itemdel,theread)
close file thefile

or

get lineoffset("#" & some id number & the itemdel,url thefile)


where "#" is used as the line begining delimiter.

I'm not 100% sure what you are asking for here but if you need an individual
id for each possible combination to use later to match to a result of some
sort then why not create a 4 digit id number of the form:
the hilitedButton of group 1 & the hilitedButton of group 2 & the
hilitedButton of group 3 & the hilitedButton of group 4
Thus every possible combination will have a corresponding id that is also
quite easy to read and understand by a human.

Hope this is what you want

Regards

Monte
