Re: [ANN] MobGUI plugin : mobile development aid + movie player question
Thanks to everyone for the feedback - it's still early days for the plugin! I added the iOS movie player object yesterday and it's working ok, but I notice that if I switch it to full screen then press fforward that the result is a black screen and it doesn't return to the card or show the normal blue 'done' button. Has anyone else seen this? Should I be picking up a message and doing something to return? Thanks again and I'll post an update today.

Problem with umlautes (non ASCII chars) in Windows
I need to get the Computername from a Windows PC, but if the computername contains non ASCII chars I get odd characters. Also, the global variable (%Computername%) from inside LiveCode does not display non ASCII chars correctly. I also tried to use the CMD with the command hostname, which displays the name correctly in the commandline window but not inside LiveCode. Can someone with more experiance on a PC help ? ___ 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

All versions of Rev and LC do not make the scripts or field data available for spotlight indexing. You need to code something that writes your scripts to one or more '.txt' files that would include the stack name, etc Of course, since you are writing you own info export, you could add some good meta data, such as field names or project title, custom property contents, image names, etc. You could even export a jpg screen shot, then... a short Applescript could write to the Finder comments of the stack file and jpg file, and comments get spotlight indexed for all apps. This means you could use Spotlight, QuickView, Coverflow to scan your projects in the Finder. I don't know the limits for Finder comment lines or chars.

In addition to a small introduction, he'll also give us a tutorial on how to use it. http://livecode.tv/Andreas/ Colin Holgate will reproduce a demo he gave recently, where he use LiveCode to scrape a web page for information on the video clips on that page, and used the information to make a set of cards, one for each video clip. In addition, he will show how he used LiveCode to take rows and columns from a spreadsheet, and convert the data into xml. http://livecode.tv/colin/ In addition, eHUG ( http://www.ehug.info ) will be raffling off the e-book Take Control of iWeb '09, courtesy of TidBITS, http://ww.tidbits.com.

Why No Built in GetMyIP call in LiveCode?
Hi All... I've been looking at all the solutions in the archive for getting the IP address of the machine running a stack. Some shell scripts, some php calls, etc. etc. I have a situation where we are behind a firewall using NAT. So all our computers are running a 10.x.x.x.x address. I'm trying to implement some socket communication between stacks and IP address information is essential for this to work. I would like the communication process set up to be as transparent as possible, allowing users to connect by name and maybe holding IP address is a custom property for example. The Dictionary provides some examples for hostAdress function and I tried (wishful thinking, script trickery) something like this: on mouseUp open socket to 127.0.0.1:5005 with message socketOpen put the result end mouseUp on socketOpen theSock put the hostAddress of 127.0.0.1:5005 end socketOpen ...but it just gave me 127.0.0.1 and not the 10.x.x.x. address... Shell script works nice, but it gives quite a few IP in its result. Plus the actual machine IP is located on different lines in the result, such as in a desktop machine, as opposed to a laptop on wireless. It just seems like it would be nice to have a built in function for reporting local machine's IP... Such as, put localIP of current stack into tIP or get LocalIP of current stack. Is this available in the dictionary and I'm just missing it? Thank you!

It does not. What you want to use is that little magnifying glass in the upper right of your screen in the menu bar.

Re: Why No Built in GetMyIP call in LiveCode?
Thanks for the quick replies! I thought I had it figured out with Devin's suggestion. Everything seemed to work with this script: on mouseUp put the hostname into tHostName --wait 1 sec put the hostnametoaddress of tHostName end mouseUp The address returned 10.58.0.109. However, when I went in and looked at my machines IP it was 10.58.0.42. I wonder where it got the 10.x.x.109 from? Mark, I'm assuming there is a shell script for Ubuntu too that will do the same parse action as your script example? Your example should help me to understand how to parse the shell script.

Re: Why No Built in GetMyIP call in LiveCode?
This works for me. Methinks it is going to give you the address of the primary adapter. Do you have multiple adapters? Any bridging going on, like with Parallels networking? Also, if the hostname function is using DNS, then it may be that your DNS records are stale. This is just a guess though.

Re: Why No Built in GetMyIP call in LiveCode?
So if you are using Apples, I wonder if there is a way to access the bonjour address? When I ping the name of my computer in terminal, with .local appended to the end I get the actual IP of the primary adapter. Now if I issue the Livecode command put the hostname in the message box it returns the fully qualified domain name of my laptop lgos-mp-bobsneidar.cccm.lan, which confirms my suspicions that the hostname command is querying DNS. (My Mac laptop is joined to my active directory domain.) The only way for Livecode to discern THAT name is to query DNS. I do not like depending on DNS for hostnames and IP's. Firstly, if you have multiple disassociated domains, some devices will not be known by the particular DNS you are querying. Secondly, not everyone has an active directory domain, and so they use public DNS which will not register your local IP address. Thirdly, as I mentioned before, in a DHCP environment, your DNS records can become stale, especially if you have not done any internet access or contacted the AD DC since you got a new lease. Finally, if someone manually entered a DNS a record (like you have to do for Macs because unless joined to the domain they will not register themselves) and then later decide to change the computer name, and you forget to change the DNS A record, your query will return the wrong name. Ugh! I think however, you could fudge it. setting the lineDelimiter to period and then getting the first line of the FQDN returned by hostname will return the machine name without any domain info. For Macs append .local to that and ping it in a shell. For Windows, take the first 15 characters of the name and ping that. It will be the NETBIOS name of the machine. That is the best I can do for the moment without putting more thought into it.

[Slightly OT] CSS or Javascript for a web page div that ignores vertical scrolling?
Hi folks, I'm having a little trouble with search terms for sorting the web page that will contain my project revlet... I want to place a little floating widget part-way down the right margin of the web page that stays put vertically wrt the browser window as the lengthy, underlying page contents is scrolled vertically. I'm not sure if this means the div is following the scroll or ignoring it but the desired behaviour wrt scrolling is like the 'Free Trial' and 'What's New' images on www.runrev.com Is this ignore/follow vertical scroll behaviour settable via CSS (if so, can someone please name the guilty tag so I can Google it) or do I need to look at Javascript jQuery? Oh, if it's matters, the div won't be just an image container, it is destined to contain dynamic content managed via Javascript and use a couple of jQuery functions - but I'll learn about them once I have a box to house the content!

On my machine (with virtualbox) using the example from above works, but returns both addresses, for the machine as well as the virtualbox network interface. *on mouseUp put the hostname into tHostName --wait 1 sec put the hostnametoaddress of tHostName **end mouseUp* * * Seems like if its only returning one, and its wrong you have some funkiness going on. However, if it does indeed return all active addresses, it should be easy enough to filter out what you want since most likely each one will be a different subnet (or different network entirely) On Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 12:53 PM, Bob Sneidar b...@twft.com wrote: Or don't use localhost at all!

For most purposes, exporting LC data to a text file so Spotlight could find it by content would be far more trouble than it was worth. Certainly so in my case. How hard is it, really, to write some kind of extension or plug-in so that find by content works for LC -- fields, scripts, or whatever?

Spotlight doesn't appear to index my scripts and I have everything checked in the Mac OS Spotlight Preferences. All versions of Rev and LC do not make the scripts or field data available for spotlight indexing. You need to code something that writes your scripts to one or more '.txt' files that would include the stack name, etc Of course, since you are writing you own info export, you could add some good meta data, such as field names or project title, custom property contents, image names, etc. You could even export a jpg screen shot, then... a short Applescript could write to the Finder comments of the stack file and jpg file, and comments get spotlight indexed for all apps. This means you could use Spotlight, QuickView, Coverflow to scan your projects in the Finder. I don't know the limits for Finder comment lines or chars.

Re: Why No Built in GetMyIP call in LiveCode?
In my last code, the localhost was just to get the hostName, something that can also be done with LC's built in hostName function/prop like so: put char 2 to -2 of word 3 of shell( ping -n 1 the hostName ) into msg It's just an optional way to get the hostName if LC was failing to do that properly for some reason. But pinging your hostName will be sure to return the IP address other computers on the LAN will see you as.

I'm trying to implement some socket communication between stacks and IP address information is essential for this to work. I would like the communication process set up to be as transparent as possible, allowing users to connect by name and maybe holding IP address is a custom property for example.

Shell script works nice, but it gives quite a few IP in its result. Plus the actual machine IP is located on different lines in the result, such as in a desktop machine, as opposed to a laptop on wireless. It just seems like it would be nice to have a built in function for reporting local machine's IP... Such as, put localIP of current stack into tIP or get LocalIP of current stack.

Unless, as was the case with me, it returns the FQDN from the AD DNS, and that happens to be wrong. I get lgos-mp-bobsneidar.cccm.lan. THAT is from our AD DNS, NOT the actual hostname of the computer as all computers will see it. What if there are computers that are not a part of that domain, and are not using that domain's address?

It looks like for older browsers you might have to add a !DOCTYPE to make it

Note: IE7 and IE8 support the fixed value only if a !DOCTYPE is specified.
Fixed positioned elements are removed from the normal flow. The document and

Fixed positioned elements can overlap other elements.

Re: Why No Built in GetMyIP call in LiveCode?
How does the matchText call know just to capture the IP address in the variable retVal? Okay, you said you wanted to know what is going on, so here it is. Modifier at the beginning of a statement (?s) says that the '.' char CAN match a return char, thus the match can span 2 or more lines The 's' in this case does not mean 'space char' or the literal 's' char. When the scanning begins and the 'inet ' portion is found to match, then the next condition is tried The () parens are telling the engine to capture any chars that meet the conditions inside and assign them to the first variable specified. In this case, it is 'retVal' If there were a second set of (), then those chars would be assigned to the second variable specified. So the first ? has nothing to do with space chars. it is an operator that affects the logic of the scan depending on the chars inside the parens (?s) And the second ? has nothing to do with space chars. It is a different operator that says to the (.*) scan to be UN-greedy. This means, return the shortest version of a match, rather than the longest possible one. The longest match would be addr:10.58.0.91 Bcast:10.58.0.255 - because the logic is 'find the longest match that allows a string that ends in a space'. Note carefully that the regex ends with(.*?) a trailing space. If the ? was omitted, then the longest match that can end in a space char would be the string that includes Bcast. We don't want the longest string, so we need to tell regex either (?s)(.*?) -- or -- (?Us) (.*) -- both say 'ungreedy' or 'shortest match' Both return a string that only includes the chars between the (), so both return addr:10.58.0.91 without a trailing space. --- Final spec is to find a string that begins with inet and ends with a single space, then return the chars after the first space and before the last space, and make it the shortest string you can find, not the longest. Oh, and the (?s) says that the shortest string can include return chars. In this case, we are working with a two-line value where every char is on the second line, so the (?s) is not essential, but does no harm. --**-- variation you might want to use This ungreedy regex would return retVal = only the ip address put (?U)inet (.*):(.*) space into regEx put \ matchText(tEthernetConfig, regEx, ipLabel, retVal) \ into wasSuccessfulTrueOrFalse Note the ':' separator the extra variable we don't use 'ipLabel' ipLabel = addr retVal = '10.58.0.91' Hope this is crystal clear on a Friday night. Regex is an xtalk language where the x stands for extraterrestrial. Jim Ault Las Vegas On Jun 10, 2011, at 4:12 PM, John Patten wrote: I settled on Mark's shell script process to get IP address.

Not quite sure how that works, but it does :-) snip break case Linux put shell(/sbin/ifconfig eth5) into tEthernetConfig put shell(/sbin/ifconfig wlan3) into tWirelessConfig set the itemdel to . --CHECK FOR ETHERNET CONNECTION get matchText(tEthernetConfig,(?s)inet (.*?) ,retVal) if it is false then -- CHECK FOR WIRELESS CONNECTION get matchText(tWirelessConfig,(?s)inet (.*?) ,retVal) if it is false then return 0.0.0.0 end if end if -- i have no clue how the matchtext works above but the retVal is returns addr:10.X.X.X. Sooo... set the itemDel to : put item 2 of retVal into cd fld ipaddress end switch return 0.0.0.0 ___ use-livecode mailing list

That's good and as it should be, but I'm not sure why. LC honors the (?s), but as a directive, not a caputure. When a paren is read and is followed by a ? this signals an 'operation' rather than a 'capture' -- Additional regex conditions or qualifiers are. Lookahead and Lookbehind ... scanning operations designated by (?= (?! lookbehind positive and negative logic positive and negative logic lookahead (?= (?! -- (?Usi) means shortest match, allow multiple lines, disregard case (?U) means shortest match, single line, case sensitive (?s) means longest match, allow multiple lines, case sensitive if it is missing then default = means longest match, single line, case sensitive What is meant by 'single line' is that a return char restarts the scanning on another line. Multi line means the return is seen as just another char in the text block so the repeat loops can keep going to find the longest match. --- Think of the regex engine as a complex series of nested repeat loops that are a combination of repeat while repeat until making many, many char by char scans, in both directions, from both ends of a block, to find the longest positive result, unless told to be ungreedy (shortest result) The repeat loops are designed to accept strings and operators in series such that a given block of text is scanned in both directions in order to implement logic patterns. This multiple scanning can occur from the first char forward and the last char backward to find the best solution. Simple rules don't show you all the multiple scans (repeat loops) that are used to arrive at the parsed result. Large blocks of text can take several minutes to scan depending on conditions and conditionals. The paren as a directive works for [a-zA-Z] means a to z lower and upper for a single char or (?i)[a-z] means a to z lower and upper for a single char --since the 'i' means case insensitive (?i)([a-z]) -- will capture a single char if it is a-z either case. If the test fails there is no value assigned. LC will allow a test for empty, but Perl and others will report an error like 'undefined' since there was no match, no capture, and no assignment. Also, in Perl, etc, you must define variables ahead of the regex if you want to avoid 'undefined'. Hope this makes a little light reading for the weekend.
