Re: Database syntax
Actually, this was precisely the situation in which multiple LC arrays, being used as tables, where the array key was the primary key of the table, and joining these tables was far faster to do using LC arrays than any in-memory SQL database. Admittedly these were only 2-way and 3-way joins, so _maybe_ if they were 7-way joins I might not have seen the same performance difference. If you need a RDBMS (and integrity checks, triggers, etc), then you probably do need it -- there's no point in re-inventing the wheel. But if you need to just store a list of blobs, then an array with pointers to blobs on the filesystem might still be much faster (and much simpler). I'm not opposed to RDBMS per se. In my time, I've used Oracle, Firebird, Frontbase, Postgresql, Openbase, HSQL, Valentina and Sqlite, and I still use some of those if the situation needs it.

Is it linear or worse or better? Many issues here. Conditions change dynamically ... In my experience _no database_ will outperform arrays as data storage. The simple reason is that a) arrays are stored in memory b) Of course, if you run out of memory, you are in dangerous territory anyway. If you read some of the arguments of Ruslan (of Valentina fame), even he admits that native in-memory data structures are faster than database access. And he usually does that whilst he's in the process of arguing that sqlite is much slower than Valentina. In following those arguments, I've seen Ruslan argue that sqlite's speedy performance comes at the cost of high memory usage (he argues Valentina performs faster, and is designed to only use small amounds of memory). Think about it: if you are setting the dgData of a Datagrid to an array of 1,000 items, if you are having to get that data from a disk-based database before putting it into the dgData, then that is going to be slower. The only way in which things could be faster, would be if the Datagrid was only asking for data as it was scrolled/sorted. If you have a lot of blob data to display, and the aggregated size of that data is more than the memory you have available, then you are going to have to bring it in from disk. Whether or not it is faster to do that than to store it on the filesystem (with your 1,000 member array just containing the path to the binary data), I do not know. My experiments some years ago using millions of rows of numeric data, demonstrated to me that nothing available to Livecode except its own arrays really proved a suitably fast datastore (I compared it with in-memory databases, accessing some high-cost commercial databases with in-memory tables too). One thing that has not been brought out so far in this discussion is that when passing data to a SQL statement in Livecode, it is possible to have your data stored in an array with numbered keys e.g. myArray[1], myArray[2]... and then to pass that array's name to the Livecode SQL functions using :1, :2... to pass in the data.

Re: is among the words AND find words
The token keyword works with time, and time-bomb (assuming you want to find just time). I've found it to be really useful in a number of circumstances in parsing out chunks of text from strings that don't fit the standard word model - like SQL statements which can include commas, parentheses, quotes, single quotes, and periods. Many punctuation marks are treated as separate tokens as well as anything delimited by a space, return, tab, or semicolon. Only drawback is that there is no tokenOffset function so you have to write your own using a repeat loop to go through the string.

Re: iPad screenrecording: how?
you might use a tripod and a video camera. Shooting the screen isn't too bad if the camera and subject are steady. The audio could be direct if it's first turned down in level - video cameras are usually mic level in and would probably sound better with a close up mic I've used this technique as a way to report bugs in software that involve two screens - that can't be screen-recorded properly.

Hi William: I have to set up an external video camera to do recordings of iPad. Works decently, but a lot of overhead. Would be very interested if there is an application that can render the gestures (i.e. shows virtual hand and finger gestures). That would be a *great* app to have for anyone who needs to train on how to run an iPad. It would also need to somehow render the iPad bezel (home button, orientation lock, et.al.).

Re: is among the words AND find words
Before rushing for a tokenOffset feature request, perhaps it might be worth considering some other options. Perhaps there could be a way of signalling a string of items which would mark either what should be considered a non-word, or a non-token. That way such a search feature could be used with non-ascii languages. I believe there is some work coming up at some point on right-to-left languages. So perhaps this string of word-items or token-items could be added then. Just my 2c. Bernard On Wed, Dec 21, 2011 at 6:24 PM, Bob Sneidar b...@twft.com wrote: Feature request!

For instance, word delimiters could be a property containing all the characters which might be word delimiters, all the punctuations for example. I don't know how you would treat a hyphen. That would work. Upon thinking about it, I am not sure what the application would be for finding specific words in an english (or any other languages) phrase. It is useful for finding keywords in a Livecode statement for sure. Bob The application would be one of gatering all the lines in a text field that contain a word or words and displaying them in a second field. The text might also include quotes and that messes up the wordOffset function. Turns out the tokens don't work since the period is not a token so the token 1 of time. is time. Astonishingly, it turns out that LC all allows for Put time is among the tokens of Now is the time, for all good men. That returns true. But Put men is among the tokens of Now is the time, for all good men. returns false--because of the period after men I think I'll just strip the lead and trailing characters from the resulting wordOffset word, using something like: function stripEnds tWord repeat if charIsNotLetter (char 1 of tWord) then delete char 1 of tWord next repeat else exit repeat end if end repeat repeat if charIsNotLetter (char -1 of tWord) then delete char -1 of tWord next repeat else exit repeat end if end repeat return tWord end stripEnds function charIsNotLetter tChar put charToNum(tChar) into tNum switch case tNum = charToNum(a) and tNum = charToNum(z) return false break case tNum = charToNum(A) and tNum = charToNum(Z) return false break default return true end switch end charIsNotLetter But I would prefer RR to implement your suggestion of augmenting the delimiters for word to include all non-letters. ___ 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

First of all the LayoutControl handler have one parameter you can use for getting the rect of me: on LayoutControl pControlRect In the LayoutControl handler, you are placing controls relatively to their own rects instead of using the rect of the datagrid cell. I have not tested the result of your code, but the result should be a bit different than the result you are expecting. This could maybe explain why the strategy field is not visible: because it is maybe not include in the rect of the cell row. Comment the layoutcontrol code and try again. About editing a field in a datagrid form: Most common usage is to edit a field by double clicking on it. So you need a mouseDoubleUp handler in your behavior script: on mouseDoubleUp pMouseBtnNum if pMouseBtnNum is 1 then if (word 1 of the target is field) then if the dgProps[allow editing] of the dgControl of me then EditFieldText the long id of the target, the dgIndex of me,freq exit mouseDoubleUp end if end if end if pass mouseDoubleUp end mouseDoubleUp 1. The field is editable only if the datagrid is editable (the dgProps[allow editing] of the dgControl of me) 2. With the EditFieldText handler we are assuming you have a key named freq in your datagrid data. 3. the dgIndex of me is the index of the edited row.

Re: is among the words AND find words
Thanks, Hugh. Unfortunately there are a couple of problems. It won't work for this line: Now is the time. because of the period. Nor for the line Now is the time for all because of the quotes. Stripping the lead and trailing characters is cumbersome, but fairly reliable--except for quotes, where I just replace the quote with a carrot or whatever.

Re: Function to Upper and Lower Case sentences
I did something similar recently, where not only was the delimiter important, but preserving the exact delimiter was also important. In my case it was breaking out the parts of a query that might contain AND or OR. What I did was: replace AND with cr AND cr in theList replace OR with cr OR cr in theList repeat with theLineCount = 1 to the number of lines of theList step 2 put line theLineCount of theList into theLine put line theLineCount +1 into theDelimiter -- do some stuff with whatcha got put theLine theDelimiter cr after theNewList end repeat You could modify this to deal with a period and a space, a period and a close parens, a period and a character return or a period and anything else that might apply. Just don't append CR for a single period and cr, or you will end up with blank lines that were not there beforehand. Also, now that I think about it, you should probably also replace ... with an ellipsis before continuing, and any other thing that might come after a period in normal text. You should end up with a list of sentences, and whatever came after them. Also, now that I think about it some more, you should probably replace 2 cr's with some kind of placeholder cr before anything else in a repeat loop to account for multiple CR's. That would throw your function out of sync if an extra line showed up anywhere along the way. Bob On Dec 21, 2011, at 1:02 PM, Sivakatirswami wrote: OK yes, Title case is easy...

Re: is among the words AND find words
True enough, except that a comma *might* be there under normal circumstances, whereas I cannot think of an example where two words can be joined by a comma in normal English grammar. But again, it might not be english grammar we are trying to work with, so any function devised could not be so generalized so as to attempt to work with ANY text haphazardly strung together without consideration for grammatical structure. An SQL parser would have to be tuned for SQL, an English sentence parser accordingly etc. Bob On Dec 21, 2011, at 1:59 PM, Mark Wieder wrote: Bob- Wednesday, December 21, 2011, 12:54:46 PM, you wrote: I suppose it could be argued that everything would break down if the text were now,is,the,time,for,all,goo,men... but at some point we have to presume the absence of the absurd? to have 2 words split by a comma is a problem with the data, not with the software.

Re: Database syntax -- array to BLOB
I think the problem I had with blobs is that a base64 encoded string is text, not binary so trying to put into a column that thinks it's getting binary data seems to mess things up. But I don't remember for sure. All I know is that using base64 encoding and a text column works just fine for me.

iOS: text styles
I've about driven myself crazy over this one today, but it turns out I think I may have found a bug. Either that or very strange expected behavior. So I'm wondering if someone wouldn't mind checking this for me to see if the results are the same. Should only take a couple minutes. Create a new stack. Place one field on it. Make the stack, field, and font size large enough to read easily on an iPad (or in the simulator). Set the font of the field to Arial. In the preOpenCard handler, set the htmlText of the field. Something like: set the htmlText of fld 1 to pHowdy! How iare/i you today?/p Set the standalone settings for iPad, etc. Launch it in the simulator. Does the word are appear in italics? It doesn't for me. Should it? The same thing works fine in the IDE. But when run in the simulator or on a device the text is not styled. I did just try using Helvetica instead of Arial and that seems to work okay. Unfortunately, I need Arial and not Helvetica. Anybody have any suggestions here? This is very nearly a showstopper if it's a bug. Really need this to work.

Re: iPad screenrecording: how?
Hello, I spent a tremendous amount of time researching this. It turns out there is NOT an app for that :-) I did finally come up with a setup that works but it is not cheap, not is it perfect. I can capture the iPad screen but it doesn't show finger touches like you see with the simulator. First you need some hardware that can capture HDMI. I chose this. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?is=REGsku=618348Q=O=A=details Then you need Some Software to capture the incoming HDMI. Apple has an Xcode sample project called WhackedTV, that can do it. But I use ScreenFlow 3. ScreenFlow is what I normally capture screen casts with. The iPad shows up as one of the video sources you can capture when you configure the recording. Then in post processing I add the iPad Frame around the video. If you want to see the results you can check out the video http://www.geistinteractive.com/gosign/overview/ Its a lot of work. But as far as I know its the only way to capture and record the iPad screen.

Sorry. I guess my question did provide pretty scant specs. Anyway, yes, I enrolled in the Apple Developer program last year after purchasing an iPad.

Re: File time off by an hour...
H. No responses to this. I did experiment a bit and noticed that when I set my PC's time zone to Eastern time in lieu of Central time, the file times show correctly. Also, without switching time zones, the file dates show an hour behind for files saved during months falling in daylight savings, and show correctly for files saved during months not falling in daylight savings... Weird. Is this a bug? Anyone have a workaround?

Hi All, I am using detailed files to obtain a file's date and time modified (converting it to short date and short time)... All works well, but I noticed the following... Several of my files have a date of 9/24/11 with a time of 2:26 PM (as shown in Windows explorer). However, when I obtain and convert the date and time in LiveCode, the date appears correctly, but the time is off by 1 hour and shows as 1:26 PM in lieu of 2:26 PM. However, when I open the file and save it, it shows the correct time after modifying the file. (The problem seems to be with older files from several months back.)
