Re: 8.1.1 can't get URL? (somewhat urgent)

[Charles Warwick]

What happens if you type:  put ulExtIsBlocked() into the message box?

Maybe something is unloading the tsNetLibUrl library.  Can you confirm 
that stack is loaded?

Yes, it works in a browser.

I have a business licensed version of 8.1.1  I wonder if that is the issue?

Oh wait… never mind… I rebooted LC and now it works..

Re: 8 datagrid text properties

[Sri]

Hi Mike:

Have you consulted the DataGrid help document (or dictionary)?

set the dgProp["Property Name"] of group "DataGrid Name" to thePropertyValue

where you have a slew of properties you can set:
"header height"
"header margins"
"header text color"
"header text font"
"header text style"
"header text size"
"header background color"
"header background hilite color"
etc.

Similarly to set the properties of body text, you have
"text color"
"text font"
"text style"
"text size"
"hilited text color"
etc.

I tested. They work in LC8.

Regards,
Sri

Pattern Matching in Livecode

[Alejandro Tejada]

Hi Craig,

Your clever idea of reverting search terms works great too.
Many Thanks for answering my request! :D

I have posted a new stack and a screenshot
at the forum thread:
http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=7=28288

on mouseUp
   put fld id 1008 into WL -- 12 words
   put fld id 1014 into SC -- 1080 combinations

   repeat for each line Q in SC
  if lineoffset(word 1 of Q,WL) <> 0 and \
lineoffset(word 2 of Q,WL) <> 0 and \
lineoffset(word 3 of Q,WL) <> 0
  then
 put word 1 to 3 of Q & return after tCombinations
  end if
   end repeat

   if the number of words of tCombinations > 2
   then
  -- delete last char of tCombinations -- a CR character
  sort numeric descending tCombinations
  put word 1 to -1 of tCombinations into fld id 1025
   else
  put "No matching set found" into fld id 1025
   end if

end mouseUp

Still, I am curious to learn if regex and arrays operations
could produce the same results but faster.

Have a nice week!

Here’s one way, using some text-munching utility functions. The following is a 
longish list of handlers, but as you can see the basic function find3words() is 
pretty compact. Once you have the utilities in place in a library, they can be 
used in all different kinds of contexts to shortcut things.

You might be able to do this with a Regex expression, I don’t know, I’m 
allergic to Regex. I like to work in pure LC.

— the following function is not tested:

function find3words pList, pWords
   repeat with w = 1 to 3
  put line offsets(word w of pWords,pList) into A[w]
   end repeat
   put A[1] into f1
   put A[2] into f2
   put A[3] into f3
   put intersectLIsts(f1,f2) into out1
   put intersectLIsts(out1,f3) into outlist
   — now have to check that we have found whole items, not just part of a word
   repeat for each item i in outlist
  repeat with w = 1 to 3
 if not (item w of pWords is among the items of line i of pList) then 
next repeat
 put i & comma after finalList
  end repeat
   end repeat
   if finalList = empty then put 0 into finalList
   return item 1 to -1 of finalList
end find3words

function lineOffsets str, pContainer, matchWhole
   -- returns a comma-delimited list of all the lineOffsets of str
   --in pContainer
   -- if matchWhole = true then only whole lines are located
   --else finds line matches everywhere str is part of a line in pContainer
   -- duplicates are stripped out
   -- note: to get the last lineOffset of a string in a container (often useful)
   --use "item -1 of lineOffsets(...)"
   -- requires offsets()
   
   if matchWhole = empty then put false into matchWhole
   put offsets(str,pContainer) into offList
   if offList = "0" then return "0"
   repeat for each item i in offList
  put the number of lines of (char 1 to i of pContainer) into lineNbr
  if matchWhole then
 if line lineNbr of pContainer <> str then next repeat
  end if
  put 1 into A[lineNbr]
  -- using an array avoids duplicates
   end repeat
   put the keys of A into lineList
   sort lines of lineList ascending numeric
   replace cr with comma in lineList
   return lineList
end lineOffsets

function offsets str, pContainer
   -- returns a comma-delimited list of all the offsets of str in pContainer
   -- returns 0 if str is not found
   -- note: offsets("xx","xx") returns "1,3,5" not "1,2,3,4,5"
   -- ie, overlapping offsets are not counted
   -- note: to get the last occurrence of a string in a container (often useful)
   -- use "item -1 of offsets(...)"
   
   if str is not in pContainer then return 0
   put 0 into startPoint
   repeat
  put offset(str,pContainer,startPoint) into thisOffset
  if thisOffset = 0 then exit repeat
  add thisOffset to startPoint
  put startPoint & comma after offsetList
  add length(str)-1 to startPoint
   end repeat
   return item 1 to -1 of offsetList -- delete trailing comma
end offsets

function intersectLists listA, listB, pDelim
   -- returns the intersection of two lists, ie., a list of items/lines common 
to both
   -- if pDelim = empty then looks first for the presence of cr in the lists,
   --   if found, defaults to cr as the delimiter

Re: Pattern Matching in Livecode

[dunbarx]

Hi.

Long handler?

Wouldn't the judicious use of the "wordOffset" function, with a little help
from the "words to skip" parameter, do this rather quickly and with just a
handful of lines of code?

I did not download your stack, but perhaps I am not understanding what you
meant?

Craig

Thanks Monte,

The send and despatch restrictions do not apply in the cases I am considering.
These are support handlers and functions outside the main handler within a 
script library.

Pattern Matching in Livecode

[Alejandro Tejada]

Hi all,

Recently I made a very long script for searching 3 words among a list
of 1080 lines of words.

Download the zipped stack MatchingPatternsv02
from this forum thread:
http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=7=28288

I suspect that LiveCode provides better tools for this task, but I
don't know which are and how to use them. Maybe a simpler solution is
to employ a regex, arrays operation or a really clever handler.

How many different methods (functions and commands) provides Livecode
to make this task of comparing and finding 3 words (taken from a list
of 12 words) among 1080 lines of 4 words?

Thanks in advance!

Al

[ANN] Release 8.1.2 RC-1

[Peter TB Brett]

Dear list members,

We are pleased to announce the release of LiveCode 8.1.2 RC 1.

Getting the Release
===
You can get the release at https://downloads.livecode.com/livecode/ or 
via the automatic updater.



Release Contents

Fewer crashes
-
LiveCode was sometimes accessing objects after they had been deleted, 
getting seriously upset as a result.  We rewrote a large chunk of the 
LiveCode engine to stop it from doing that.  We've created mechanisms 
that will help us detect and fix issues like this more easily.


IDE improvements

We resolved several minor but irritating bugs in the IDE and standalone 
builder.  The tools palette and selection handles work more nicely, the 
debugger can watch global variables, we tweaked the property inspector 
user interface (including restoring "Resize" and "Fit Content" options 
to the "Size" pane) and fixed the way the standalone builder places 
resource files.


Xcode 8.1 and iOS 10.1 support
--
We added support for deploying iOS 10.1 standalones using Xcode 8.1. 
When you redeploy your app with LiveCode 8.1.2, you'll also get fixes to 
the native scroller mobile control, in-app purchasing, and the mobile 
browser widget.


sqlite FTS 5

revdb's sqlite driver now supports the FTS5 full-text search engine.


LiveCode 8.1.2 RC 1 contains 62 bug fixes and stability
improvements.

The full release notes are available from:
http://downloads.livecode.com/livecode/8_1_2/LiveCodeNotes-8_1_2_rc_1.pdf
