Thanks for the pointer.  I want to format script text that lives in a

Hi Wilhelm (and Hermann),

By the way, I have now tested LiveCode 8.0.0-dp-11 (both Community and 
Business) on my Windows 7 workstation at home, and I was able to 
successfully install the IDE, activate it and run it.  I did have to 
wait a very long time with a full progress bar before the final screen 
with the "Finish" button appeared.


So that the problems that you are encountering can be fixed, please give 
me some more information about exactly what settings you are using to 
install.  A screenshot of the stage which is broken would be helpful to.

The scriptFormat handler might be a good starting point:

Some years back, pressing the  key to trigger indenting used to affect the 
entire script, but then it got changed to only affect the current handler for 
some reason.

This could be a good opportunity to revive the previous behavior, which was a 
time-saver when triggered after pasting unformatted scripts containing multiple 
handlers.

Would this be considered a bug? If so, I could submit a bug report.

Just to be clear, it's not my function, it came from someone else on the list. 
It could easily be revised to handle the case of cr's within data chunks, 
though.

Re: Script Indenting?

[Peter M. Brigham]

A while back, Mark Wieder posted a snippet of code that I use in my library 
stack that does this very thing, calling some obscure IDE handlers:

  -- colorize script
  -- thanks to Mark Wieder, of the useRev listserv
  -- how he figured this out, I don't know
  put the number of lines of field "script" into tNum
  -- the following 2 lines are only necessary if no script has been opened 
yet in this
  --   session of LC
  -- and they will throw an error for later versions of LC
  try
 send "sePrefInit" to stack "revNewScriptEditor"
 send "revSEColorize thisScript,default" to stack "revNewScriptEditor"
  end try
  _internal script colorize line 1 to tNum of field "script"

If this doesn't point you in the right direction, maybe Mark knows more.

That would make it much easier for people to use and re-use, not only in

Re: sorting words ?

[Mark Waddingham]

On 2015-12-12 02:39, Kay C Lan wrote:

So the 3 possibilities are:

1) The example I gave in my last post. However many tabs and spaces 
would

remain the same, they would be ordered, tabs before spaces, segments
(words) would be placed between them. There would only be one white 
space
between each segment (word) so some segments might have tabs between 
them

and others spaces.You might end up with multiple tab/spaces at the
beginning of the output, just as you end up with multiple empty items 
at
the beginning of a sorted List if there are multiple empty items. This 
is

ugly.


I think this one perhaps rules itself out by virtue of the fact it does 
(as you say) seem 'ugly' and also reorders the whitespace in (from any 
one particular point of view in terms of what you might want to achieve) 
a fixed, but arbitrary order. It doesn't preserve structure between 
parts which is perhaps what you would want if you want to do 'something' 
with the whitespace.



2) The List is outputted with a single space between each segment. This
would mean that if there happened to be tabs or multiple spaces between
certain segments, these would be removed/converted. This is helpful.


This is certainly the simplest option (implementation wise), however it 
does 'hide' the fact that you are losing information when you do a 'sort 
words'.



3) A straight reshuffle, where the actual segments are reordered whilst
preserving the white space location:

[tab][tab]Mark[space][space]Geoff[tab]Kevin[space][tab]Richard[space][space]

would become:

[tab][tab]Geoff[space][space]Kevin[tab]Mark[space][tab]Richard[space][space]

This last case, although less helpful to me, would arguable be the 
computer
logical thing to do, all you've done is asked to sort the segments 
(words);
the number of characters remains the same, the location of the white 
space

has remained the same, the only thing that has changed is the order in
which the words appear - and that's what you asked for. When you think
about it, that's really all that sort by line or item does, it leaves 
the

CRs and commas in place and just shuffles things about.


This approach occurred to me the other day but I couldn't think of a 
use-case at the time. However, your example of processing text 
structured tables and such does suggest that it could well be useful in 
some circumstances. It also has the advantage of being the natural 
extension of what line/item delimiter sort (should) do - the case of 
preserving a trailing delimiter is a direct extension of the idea that 
sort does the following:


1) Find the ranges of the things you want to sort in the string.

2) Compute the new order of the substrings (from the ranges) based on 
the requested sort.


3) Rebuild the string replacing the original ranges in the original 
string with the reordered substrings.


It also means that whether or not a text chunk is 'sortable' (in the 
sense I described in a previous email) is immaterial as the output 
string is directly derived from the input string. (There would still be 
the caveat that you might break the invariants I previously described 
though for some chunks - such as sentence).


All LC has to do is pick one, implement it and then publish it. If 
people
don't like the choice then they have to roll their own, but they have 
to

roll their own now anyway. Whilst I'd think most people needing to sort
words would like the 'benefits' of option 2, I hate to say it, but I 
think

option 3 would be the 'safer' road LC could go down.


It is possible to potentially have your cake and eat it here.

We could have a string sort (as we do now), which does its best to 
preserve original structure (as described in your option 3) - as you say 
this would do *precisely* what you asked, but you have to be aware of 
some edge cases which might bite you in some cases.


In addition we could add explicit chunk splitting and combine 
operations, and a sort which could act on a numerically keyed array. In 
this case, option 2 becomes:


  split tValue by word
  sort tValue
  combine tValue using space

Here you would be able to choose explicitly what delimiter you want to 
use in the output string.


If we made it so that you could do:

  split  by item
  combine  by item

Then 'sort string' for items would actually be:

  split tValue by item
  sort tValue
  combine tValue by item

The subtlety here is that the 'by item' forms would understand trailing 
delimiter rules (which is essentially that if your string-list's last 
item is empty, then you must have a trailing delimiter). Note that you 
can only have 'combine' for strict delimited chunks (which item and line 
are) for the reasons we have been discussing - there isn't an 'obvious' 
choice for the delimiter for things like word.


Of course, I've just realized that the proposed invariant rules for sort 
don't even hold for item and line - since you can now have 
multi-character item and line delimiters:


  set the itemDelimiter to

Actually, glx2 does its own indenting, which I am quite thankful for, 
given the way that the LC8 editor has screwed up indenting. Originally, 
if my memory is correct on this, this was done because a) switch 
statements weren't being indented correctly and b) block comments would 
(and still do) override any internal formatting. So no, I don't have 
anything useful to add here about the current indenting functions.


...and I really have no recollection about that colorizing snippet. I'm 
happy to take credit for it if you say so... did I really write a try 
construct without a catch clause? You'd think I'd know better.

Re: LC 8 DP 11

[[-hh]]

Peter,

I can now confirm that it installs on Win 7 --- after a very
long time, as you say.

A fresh copy of the Indy-version needed here (3 GHz, Win 7-32Bit).

(Times instead of screenshots of the progress bar)

1 minute to start
plus 5 minutes to com to a 50% progress bar
plus 6 minutes to come to a 100% progress bar
plus 1 minutes to come to the "Finish" display
plus 7 minutes past the "Finish" button.

The community-version was 5 minutes faster.

Perhaps Wilhelm gave up, being accustomed to have a 1-2 minutes
(in sum) installer. I killed at the first trial the installer
after 5 minutes or so of waiting (and switched the OS and machine).

By the way, I like the automatic feature "uninstall previous versions"
(of the current one to install) of the installer very much. This part
of the installer worked for me always without problems and very fast.

Re: Probably a pointless question about using sort to search..

[Geoff Canyon]

I'll take another swing at the horse. My objection to this handler/function
at this point is that it's replacing (at most) six lines of code:

put the itemDel into savedDelimiter
set the itemDel to someDelimiter
combine someArray with someDelimiter
sort items of someArray 
split someArray with someDelimiter
set the itemDel to savedDelimiter

with a call to a handler that doesn't (yet) support escaping the delimiter
or all the parameters sort supports. Supporting "by word 4 of each" for
example would drive you batty trying to support it.

Re: Probably a pointless question about using sort to search..

[Peter M. Brigham]

At this point probably beating a dead horse, but here's a cleaned up handler 
that handles cr's in the data. Geoff is right that the basic idea can be done 
in 3 lines, but this automates choosing an alternate delimiter and specifying 
the sort mode in a one-line call.

The original handler came from one of the LC lessons, and was used to prepare 
an array for a function to search the contents of an array that scales 
logarithmically rather than linearly.

Printing Problem

[Peter Haworth]

I have a form with two fields on it:

- A field control that contains the text to be used as a heading
- A scrolling list field with the main text to be printed.

I'm using the following to print :

revPrintText (the htmlText of field "AttendeeList"),(the htmlText of field
"Heading")

The printed document shows the heading OK. It prints the contents of the
scrolling list field down to the bottom of the first page.  At the top of
the second page, the last 8 lines of the first page are repeated before
printing the rest of the scrolling list field contents.

Trying to figure out why the repeated lines are being printed.

This is on OSX 10.10 and LC8 DP11

I'd also add to this that I used the htmltext of the field because some
text in it is in bold.  HOwever the bold does not show up on the printed
version.

Hi.


When you say "... It prints the contents of the
> scrolling list field down to the bottom of the first page"


Do you mean simply that the printed page is filled, that is, those last eight 
lines are not printed? Or that those eight lines appear on both pages?

Re: My App is fitting to 320x480

From your dimensions I’m guessing it’s for iPhone 5, 6, 6s 6 bus, etc. You need 
to include the splash screens. default-5...@2x.png for example.
