Re: Regular expression escape characters
I don't think punctuation are word characters, so the \b might not be working right. Try \!\!\! without the \b and see if that matches something. If it does, then work on getting the boundary conditions right. -- Dar On Mar 28, 2012, at 9:19 PM, Bill Vlahos wrote: I am building a regular expression to find a set of question marks and exclamation points.

Re: Playing Flash Video?
Al, I think Jiro Harada stopped development of that product. Using rev-browser you can play flash video. Then, you can deliver the same mp4 videos to MAC/PC and iOS devices .

Hi Jim, thanks for uploading the two balls collision stack. regarding RevOnline: I noticed that if Livecode is running for longer than about an hour RevOnline (or user samples) does not work. If you restart Livecode it works. With the advent of Livecode 5.5 it tends to forget to log you in, so you have to log in manually.

Re: Regular expression escape characters
I am not sure if this if feasible, but could you replace the problem char with another, one that does not appear in the original text and has no agenda with regex? When you find the chunk data for the substitutes, you can retranslate that back to the original. So if it is true that ! is a control char for regex, replace it with, say, numToChar 186, or whatever, do your find on that char, and you will have the correct find info for the original char.

I'm using a progress bar for the first time. Checked it all out stepping through things in debug and all worked fine.

Re: Progress Bar
Thanks guys. I put a wait 0 in there and that made the progress bar update visible. Seems kinda weird that there's a difference between not waiting and waiting zero, but that's OK! This does lead to an interesting conundrum though. It takes about 2.5 times longer to process my test data with a progress bar than without one. Not talking huge amounts of time - about 1 second vs 2.5 seconds - but those times could get a lot longer in production, maybe by a factor of 10 or more, and this particular function of the application is going to be judged at least partly on performance. I calculate the update interval by dividing the number of records to be processed by 100 with a minimum of 10 to deal with small data sets. I guess maybe I can play around with the divisor of 100 to see what yields the best blend of performance while still showing progress. I might also try using an animated cursor to see how it compares performance wise. Isn't there some rule of quantum physics about changing the outocme of an experiment by observing it?

Re: Progress Bar
Hi Pete: Locking the screen is one way to speed things up, if you're not already doing that, but make sure you unlock at the end of the loop, and relock at the beginning. Another method that can help facilitate processing is to NOT update the progress bar in every loop. Use a counter to increment progress every 2nd, 5th, 10th loop (whatever makes sense), so updating progress has a lower impact on the repeat loop.

Re: [OT] ACer A100 Tablet
I listen to Leo laporte on the radio. On one show some time ago he mentioned that some earlier androids could not be upgraded past a certain version. I suspect it has to do with the processor chips being incompatible, or with memory limitations, much like desktop systems.

Re: Progress Bar
Pete, if you only need a progress bar for Mac, I can update my spinner standalone to have a progress bar. That way the progress bar will continue to animate, since it would be independent of the livecode IDE, or anything else for that matter. Let me know if you are interested.

Re: [OT] ACer A100 Tablet
It's the processor - a single chip running at 800MHz - even overclocked to 1GHz - really isn't enough for all of the new bling that is Ice Cream Sandwich. But, Cyanogen gives us a lot of coolness far beyond the stock vendor-supplied versions. Tim On Mar 29, 2012, at 4:59 PM, Bob Sneidar wrote: I listen to Leo laporte on the radio.

Re: [OT] ACer A100 Tablet
Folks, I prowled around the CyanogenMod web site and it looks great BUT... nowhere can I find how to install it on my phone. I also see various issues about having to reload some of the Google apps like Maps apps after upgrading. SO, all-in-all, this makes me pretty nervous, I'd like to upgarde but I don't want to end up with a dead phone!

Pete About the risks... the only comfort I can offer is that when it goes wrong, it is typically called soft bricking, which means you can try again and eventually get it right. The best thing to do is get the titanium backup app, and backup the original ROM that your phone has. Make sure there are success stories already with your phone model (youtube is great for the walk-throughs). Take a leap of faith. It all begins with an upgrade to the firmware called ClockWorkMod Recovery. This gives you a text-based menu to format the internal SD, and choose the ROM you are about to install (previously copied to your phone over usb). ~Roger ___ 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

The ! is escaped with the backslash (\) and then the use of {3,} means 3 of

\!{3,}
matches !!!
Then you surround the match test with parentheses to cause an extraction, and
that fills tStart and tEnd with the start and end offsets of the extracted
chunk.
You can do the same thing with ?…
