Re: RevServer deployment on OSX Server
Keith, thank you very much. This is really helpful. Still I have some questions about rev server: Generally speaking, is the rev-server (Pre-release 2) reliable for professional services ? The Server Deployment Pack (Pre-release 2) install the same rev-server version as the one running in the on-rev.com server? The runrev site says: Current test version supports Linux and Mac OS X Darwin. Text encoding support, image rendering and LiveCode stack support intended for the first shipping version. However it does not say when the final version is supposed to be released. Is there somewhere a road map about this?

Re: formattedHeight and scrollbars
Hi, Am 17.02.11 01:02, schrieb dunb...@aol.com: A fun revlet. Indeed! The way you made it, it can be seen that a horizontal scrollbar not only takes up its own height, but intrudes that amount into the lower part of the field as well. That is why it takes twice its height from the formattedHeight. The height of the filed does not change, so either you subtract the scrollbarwidth from the height of the field, or you add the scrollbarwidth to the formattedHeight to get the height needed by an object to display its full contents without scrolling (Dictionary). I don't think you can do both. (Well at least if you are no banker or politician or something like hat :- ) Example: - Start Bernds Revlet - set textHeight to 11 - set textSize to 1 - gives you formattedHeight of 70 - The height of the field is 78 (i checked with Bernd) - The difference of 8 pixel (78-70) is the free space below the text - Now set the scrollbarWidth to 8 - enable the hScrollbar - The 8 pixel scrollbar takes the place of that free space - *BUT* the formattedHeight is now 86, which implies that you need additional 8 pixel to display its full contents without scrolling (Dictionary). This is just not true. the height needed by an object to display its full contents without scrolling (Dictionary) is 80, Bernds Revlet demonstrates it clearly. Or, where in the above did i go wrong? Regards, Claus. [...] Hi Claus, I made a little revlet that shows what impacts the formattedHeight of a field: http://berndniggemann.on-rev.com/marginsrevlet/ among other things the scrollbars and their size furthermor the margins, the borderwith the textsize and the textheight. I hope I did not forget anything. Before 4.5 on a Mac the focusborder also added to the formattedHeight if I remember correctly.

Re: RevServer deployment on OSX Server
Paolo, Sorry, I can't answer your question as whilst I have revServer installed, it is currently unused, as my expectations of it were far greater than a CGI engine. I bought the server deployment in the expectation that I could take the same set of stacks I would use for a desktop app development and (perhaps with a few modifications) simply deploy to revServer to create a web application, with the UI elements 'automagically' becoming available to a browser. It has all gone very quiet concerning both server deployment and browser - no new pre-release versions or revised road-maps. I just hope the mothership is planning a big surprise for us all come the big April event. Best, Keith.. On 17 Feb 2011, at 08:12, paolo mazza wrote: Keith, thank you very much.

Call for Linux crashers
Last week I discovered a crashing issue with LC on Linux, in which setting the width of a field which has both vertical and horizonal scrollbars active below 14px would cause LC to die instantly: http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=9395 Thankfully, Mark Waddingham was able to confirm that quickly, and we can hope that'll be addressed in an upcoming build. Once I found the specific recipe, it wasn't hard to build in a workaround to prevent the crash by simply coding so that the field is never too narrow. This got me thinking about the other crashers folks have noted here before. Unfortunately, the reports at RunRev's RQCC don't include all such issues, and there's so much noise in that DB (duplicate reports, long-since-resolved issues, simple misunderstandings of feature implementation, RTFM) that relying on a search there for Linux doesn't give me confidence that I'll find everything that may affect our work on that platform. So I'm posting this as an invitation to those here to deploy to Linux or plan to this year: Let's catalog any and all crashing issues you have with LiveCode on Linux, and if they're not in the RQCC I'll submit them, and if they are I'll see if we can pin down a recipe and hopefully even a workaround, and add those notes to the RQCC entry for it. If you have other non-crashing issues I suppose we can look at those as well, and with any luck we may be able to find workarounds for many of them just as I found with the field width issue. Unless the other members of this list object, I feel this effort is on-topic enough to warrant happening here on this list, provided such discussion is succinct and to the point. If the other readers here disagree I suppose we can migrate the discussion to the Linux section of the forums, but there are a lot of Linux users here who aren't there so I'd prefer to keep it here if that's no trouble for those who don't currently deploy to Linux.

Re: RevServer deployment on OSX Server
Andre, You're absolutely correct that my expectations were too high. I wasn't complaining but just explaining why I wasn't using revServer yet and therefore couldn't address Paulo's question. ;-) The revServer product description in the store http://www.runrev.com/products/server-deployment/ reads Pre-release 2. Supports Linux and Mac OS X Darwin. Text encoding support, image rendering and LiveCode stack support intended for the first shipping version. I look forward to it being able to meet these launch-ready capabilities. Indeed, I'd welcome any new pre-release dated later than 16 June 2010, so that I didn't feel that the revServer pre-release programme wasn't merely a ruse to gain investment for iOS development.

Re: RevServer deployment on OSX Server
Jaque, Thanks for the explanation and the links (bookmarked for further study). However, isn't this 'thick client' web application architecture, (with the proprietary revlet download and requisite local machine/browser support by a rev plug-in) only one revServer scenario? According to the RunRev product page, it is still being positioned as an enabler of HTML+CSS+irev capabilities within a standard browser to create, platform-independent cloud-based applications. Or am I missing the point completely? On 17 Feb 2011, at 16:17, J.

As Andre mentioned, it was never meant for that. It's strictly a server-side language, but it works very well for its intended use. My personal site is built completely with it: http://jacque.on-rev.com/ The automatic embedding of stacks into a web page is what revlets are for. So there are two parts to the LiveCode web experience -- the server language (on-rev, irev) and the client plugin (revlets.) The nice part is that you can combine the two on the same web page. That's what I've done here: http://jacque.on-rev.com/codebits/dualrevlets.irev On that page, all the page layout is managed by includes in my irev scripts, and some things are dynamically calculated by the irev scripts when the page loads (the copyright notice, for example, updates the year automatically.) But the two revlets on the page are run by the client-side plugin.

Here's a generalized case that returns an array, with or without the quotes, and that allows for commas and returns inside the quotes to remain part of that element. It also preserves backslash-escaped quotes in any element, quoted or not. function CSVtoArray csv, removeQuotes, preserveEscapedQuotes if preserveEscapedQuotes is empty then put true into preserveEscapedQuotes set itemdel to quote if preserveEscapedQuotes then replace (\quote) with numtochar(3) in csv repeat with b = 1 to the number of items in csv if trunc(b/2) = (b/2) then replace return with numtochar(1) in item b of csv replace comma with numtochar(2) in item b of csv end if end repeat set itemdel to comma repeat with a = 1 to the number of lines in csv put line a of csv into theline repeat with b = 1 to the number of items in theline get item b of theline replace numtochar(1) with return in it replace numtochar(2) with comma in it if removeQuotes then replace quote with in it if preserveEscapedQuotes then replace numtochar(3) with quote in it put it into o[a][b] end repeat end repeat return o end CSVtoArray The 2nd and 3rd parameters are optional, with expected settings as default. (Leave quotes on the strings, and DO preserve escaped quotes.) It doesn't allow StartOfHeading, StartOfText, or EndOfText characters to be in the source (ASCII 1, 2, and 3 respectively) but then those are non-printable characters and not likely to be there to begin with.

Re: Sample code for reading a CSV file
First, thanks to everyone who replied, but especially to Nosanity. Your code reminded me that you can effectively tell when you are inside an encapsulated bit of data by an odd/even count of the encapsulation character. So, for anyone who wants it, here is a generalized function that I just wrote to parse a CSV file, regardless of the field or record delimiters (commas, tabs or whatever) and to deal with encapsulation appropriately. This assumes you read the entire CSV file into a variable you pass into pData, so a call would look like: put csvToArray(myEntireCSVData,return,comma,quote) into myDataAsArray I have tested it a bit in the last 30 minutes and it working in the cases I tried, but did not test exhaustively and have not checked performance on large datasets.

Re: Sample code for reading a CSV file
Many years ago (2004 ?) I posted code to do something like his using split/combine to differentiate between 'inside' and 'outside' field delimiters. It was very fast - but pretty hard to follow, and I don't remember now which obscure cases it handled (we haven't even mentioned doubled characters and backslash escaped field delimiters yet :-) The code Paul posted is very clear and easy to follow - but it will suffer pretty severe performance issues on large data sets. If you need to worry about that, you could get pretty good speed up just by replacing the repeat with ... by repeat for each ... - see below. The time to run this will grow (approx) linearly with the number of lines in the input data, whereas the previous version was a bit worse than N-squared growth function csvToArray pData, pRecordDelimiter, pFieldDelimiter, pEncapsulationDelimiter local tReservedRecordDelimiter, tReservedFieldDelimiter, tArray # Initialize the temporary record and field delimiters. Change these if your CSV file may contain them. put charToNum(1) into tReservedRecordDelimiter; put charToNum(2) into tReservedFieldDelimiter; # Step 1: Replace any Record or Field delimiters that are encapsulated with temporary characters set itemdel to pEncapsulationDelimiter put false into tIsEven repeat for each item itm in pData if tIsEven then replace pFieldDelimiter with tReservedFieldDelimiter in itm replace pRecordDelimiter with tReservedRecordDelimiter in itm end if put itm itemDelimiter after tData put not tIsEven into tIsEven end repeat delete the last char of tData put tData into pData # Step 2: Replace all occurances of the encapsulation delimiter replace pEncapsulationDelimiter with empty in pData -- put pData into field F # Step 3: Parse records and fields into the array, replace any occurances of the reserved record and field delimiters for each element set itemdel to pFieldDelimiter set lineDel to pRecordDelimiter put 0 into i repeat for each line L in pData add 1 to i put 0 into j repeat for each item itm in L add 1 to j replace tReservedRecordDelimiter with pRecordDelimiter in itm replace tReservedFieldDelimiter with pFieldDelimiter in itm put itm into tArray[i][j] end repeat end repeat # Step 4: return the array return tArray end csvToArray On 17/02/2011 20:01, Paul Dupuis wrote: First, thanks to everyone who replied, but especially to Nosanity.

Performance issue with groups
Hi, I experimented a slow (very) slow performance when I grouped the fields of one card into 4 groups showing one of each as required. But the problem seems that isn't show and hide the groups, the problem is located when click the datagrid and then the fields of the visible group are showed. if I ungroup the 4 groups and show all the fields at same time the performance is the normal.

Other options are using relayerGroupedControls to move a control into a group or if this is a control that you are creating then you can create a control in a group.

Re: Group/Ungroup by script
Thanks Jacqueline, I knew there would be an easier way! Does that work if the group doesn't yet exist? I know that wasn't in my original post but it is something I need to account for.

If you want to make a new group then you have to do what you did -- loop through the objects, adding them to the selection, and then group them. select control 1 and control 2 and control 3 group -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: Group/Ungroup by script
Got it, thanks. Interestingly, the group command seems to allow you to create a group with only 1 control in it, whereas the IDE doesn't.
