Re: Inserting a character (LC 7.0.1)
Graham, I was getting that problem, too, and not just in the script -- but field labels, names, etc. However, the stack I was using I had been doing various tests in, including using v7, saving in the old format, re-open in an older LC, then again in v7, etc. Lots of 'wrecked' characters replaced by ??. However, when I made a fresh stack in v7 and continued to only save it and open it in v7, then all those problems went away. Unicode (Japanese) is working everywhere. Just for your info.

Integrating LiveCode with other C++ Code bases
ᐧ I'd like to learn more about the various ways of integrating LiveCode with other C++ code bases. I'd be grateful for any pointers or reading matter. I know that there are cool plans in the rod map to make it easy to wrap low level code in LiveCode / open language: - http://livecode.com/blog/2014/07/08/the-next-generation-widgets-themes/ - http://livecode.com/blog/2014/05/29/eating-our-own-haggis/ *Open Language*: With the core refactoring almost complete (LiveCode 7.0) we’ve started to turn our attention to the final aspect of this project which is to open up the language for extension by anyone. We have been prototyping for quite some time now and plans are in place to move this project forward at a rapid pace once LiveCode 7.0 is released. We will complete network, socket and database libraries with easy to use English like syntax as part of the development and testing of this feature. This is currently slated as one half of our next major release, currently imaginatively named “8.0″. *Theme / Widgets*: Another important prototype we’ve invested time in is codenamed “Widgets”. Our aim is to provide a means for any LiveCode developer to extend the control set. This builds on “Open Language” making it possible for any developer to extend the language and the UI. While still in its infancy, we are really excited about the results which will make LiveCode 8.0 a groundbreaking release. We’re looking forward to showing these prototypes at the upcoming conference which we hope will give you a flavour of where the technology is going in 2014/2015. This is going to be another special 12 months for LiveCode! Then there used to be a way to include LiveCode in Xcode projects -- but I have not heard anything more about embedded LiveCode: - http://mailers.livecode.com/embedded/embeddedfounderreminder.html Then of course there is the ability to fork LiveCode and integrate your own C++ code that way. *How open language compiles down to byte code?* What I'd like to know is how LiveTalk / open language compiles down to byte code. Another project I know offers several scripting languages teh compile down to LLVM byte-code: - http://llvm.org/docs/BitCodeFormat.html Does LiveCode do the same? If so, could we add LiveCode scripting to other projects that use the same process of compiling down to LLVM byte-code? ___ 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: (Arbitrarily) Long-Division Script
Hi Igor, Some years ago, 2002 to be exact, I built a stack that emulated a puzzle I enjoyed. The puzzle was to decipher a long division problem where all the numbers had been replace by coded letters. My algorithm is cumbersome--I needed dividends and divisors that yielded all 10 digits in the long division display. And getting all letter to line up properly was tricky.) But it suggests that it is possible to emulate the long division algorithm in LC. Here is that stack. Just run this in the msg box. (This works on my MacBookAir but not on my desktop running an older version of OS X. See my reply to Jacque.) go url https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/47044230/CryptDivisionNew.livecode; That stack displays the long division solution to the problem of dividing a random 7 digit dividend by a random 4 digit divisor--provide the display includes all 10 digits. (Some of these problems are stinkers.)

My requirements are simple: - integers and floating-point numbers must be supported as all operands in all operations, to an arbitrarily large number of decimal cases - speed is NOT an issue: performances can safely be relatively slow, as it is unlikely that it?ll need to perform hundreds of thousands of operations per second - accuracy IS an issue: needless to say, all operations must provide *accurate* and *reliable* results, regardless of how many decimal cases are used It proved relatively easy to do the addition, multiplication and subtraction operations in LiveCode. I followed the ?pen-and-paper? algorithm, and it all seems to be working really well - I?m happy to provide anybody with a copy of the scripts off-list, if you wish (just send me an email directly). I?m stuck, however, trying to implement DIVISION. There does not seem to be an ?easy? pen-and-paper algorithm that would support arbitrarily large numbers with unknown number of decimal cases. Most long-division algorithm seems to expect that the number being divided can be of an arbitrarily length, but they expect that the divisor (the number we are dividing BY) is going to be low enough, so that the person making the division will ?know? instinctively how many times it would ?fit? into the number being divided. These algorithms are not recommended once we start dealing with divisor of 3 digits or more. There does not seem to be an algorithm that would allow us to procede ?digit-by-digit? with the division, as can be done with addition/subtraction/multiplication? Or is there? Searching Google and Wikipedia has yielded articles about using bitwise operations, or complex mathematical theory, both of which are beyond me. Is there a Math Wiz in this list, who could give us a layman?s explantion of an algorithm that could be used? Any help would be much appreciated!

What I actually *need* I already have working very well: I need a faceless LiveCode standalone (-ui) running on my VPS to be able to monitor processes on other servers, and since libURL doesn't work from faceless standalones I needed an alternative. wget works great for my needs on Linux (curl isn't installed by default with Ubuntu), and since wget isn't installed by default on OS X I've been playing with curl there for the rare times I might run these routines on a Mac. Along the way I've become so enamored of wget and curl that I started day-dreaming about other uses for them, perhaps even as replacements for some things I've used libURL for in GUI apps. Apparently the relatively new Power Shell in Windows finally makes scripting on that platform less crippled than DOS had held it back for so long, so the notion of writing a single library that would use these packages for basic HTTP POST, GET, and maybe a few other things started to rattle around in my head. But that's all just nice-to-have stuff, not at all really needed since (aside from the absence of SFTP) everything else I need to do in GUI apps can be done well enough with libURL. It's been interesting, though, learning about wget and curl, very rewarding for the tasks I originally set out to use them for.

Thanks Richard. Yeah I wouldn't use it as public facing web server. Although as node.js points out you can be a fantastic WebServer and be still be single threaded.

In my current project, I have a node.js app running in its own thread as a separate process, wrapped in side a LiveCode app. LiveCode provides the UI, and it is self updating etc. Now that we have a nice chrome browser object, I could build the UI or parts of the UI in HTML, but for now the LiveCode UI is fine.

Re: [OT?] Legitimising a developer as a 'publisher' in Windows 7
My client is using ksoftware certs. Applying the cert is done after LC is finished creating the app. Once you've been through the rigmarole of obtaining the cert (pain in the patoot) you just use ksoftware's utility to select your app and click a button that embeds the certificate. It's a one-click deal. You can use the cert on as many apps as you want, and you should, because it identifies the app as coming from you as a verified developer. When it expires you need to purchase a new one, but if your credentials haven't changed then at least you don't need to go through the whole verification process again. The price goes down a little bit if you buy a certificate that's good for several years rather than renewing annually. On 11/3/2014, 12:23 PM, Bob Sneidar wrote: Interesting. What do you do?

Re: [OT?] Legitimising a developer as a 'publisher' in Windows 7
Another thing to watch out for is timestamping. If you apply a timestamp as you code sign a file then when your code signing certificate expires the certificate on your file continues to be recognised by UAC - if you don't apply a timestamp then when your certificate expires the certificate on your file stops being recognised. So for anything you think might continue being used after the life of your certificate consider applying a timestamp Dave PS: I guess if you renew your code signing certificate before it expires that the certificate on the file will continue to be recognised by verisign (or whoever) and thus continue to be recognised as valid by Microsoft UAC - Some are born coders, some achieve coding, and some have coding thrust upon them. - William Shakespeare Hugh Senior -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/OT-Legitimising-a-developer-as-a-publisher-in-Windows-7-tp4685315p4685374.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.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

Our aim is to provide a means for any LiveCode developer to extend the control set. This builds on “Open Language” making it possible for any developer to extend the language and the UI. While still in its infancy, we are really excited about the results which will make LiveCode 8.0 a groundbreaking release.
