Here's a quickie off the top of my head (read "Don't sue me if it needs 
tweaking to work" ) for using rsync to back up a local folder to a 
folder on a remote server.


on mouseUp
   put fld "SourceDir" into tSrc
   put fld "DestDir" into tDest
   put fld "User" into tUser
   put fld "Server" into tServer
   put fld "PortNumber" into tPort
   if tPort is not empty then put "-p " before tPort
   --
   put "rsync -az "& tPort && tSrc  \
 && tUser &"@" & tServer & ":" & \
 tDest  into tCmd
   put shell(tCmd)
end mouseUp


Note: LC's shell function isn't interactive of course, so you'll want to 
set up a shared SSH key on the server first for passwordless login.


If you haven't done it before you'll be glad you did, and even more glad 
when you've tested that it works well so you can turn off password login 
altogether (ah, such slender auth.logs after that ).


This is a good guide on setting up shared SSH keys:


If you need to handle passwords or other interactions in shell, I don't 
know of a platform-indendent way to do that.  But in Linux (and maybe 
Mac if you install via Homebrew) you can use Expect.


Here are some examples of using Expect with bash:


I had started down the road of making a server management toolkit in LC 
a while back, but time's hard to come by so I'll likely be using Ansible 
for that soon.  If I can turn up any of my LC experiments mixing bash 
and Expect in shell calls I'll post 'em.


Like most uses of shell, it's just like using the command line but with 
a lot of confusing concatenation. :)

Re: Shell - argv parameter with SPACE

I really did not use the shell command before I started posting
the c and java code.

I was starting to learn Python and would love to know hoe to
use the shell to integrate it into Livecode stacks.

In fact I would love any shell examples!

Ah, thanks.

Yes, the shell function is very handy.

In addition to calling compiled code, you can also call 
platform-independent scripts from it as well, like Python, bash, perl, etc.


"open process" can also be useful, with some additional options shell 
doesn't offer.


And for deep, efficient integration there's also LC's External API 
(though I don't know where that's documented these days - Mark Wieder, 
do you know where we can find the docs and templates for that?)

Re: Shell - argv parameter with SPACE

[JB via use-livecode]

Hi Richard,

There are plenty of free compilers.  Xcode will
compile c, c++, and objective-c.  To compile
from the terminal you can use gcc which is a
really good compiler.

What the code provided does it it gives you the
ability to use c, c++, objective-c, and Java code
in your Livecode stacks.

For those who have a basic understanding of any
of these languages there is a lot of code on the
web they can use with little of no changes giving
them a lot of extra power with little effort.

These examples are the MAIN LINK to using other
code within Livecode.

I understand a lot of people do not know or want to
know other languages and this code is aimed at the
few people who do now or will in the future.

Providing this ability can attract programmers who do
not use Livecode now but know other languages and
want to use their knowledge with Livecode.

Re: Feature Race: Pick Your Project

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami via use-livecode]

I had similar feelings, (I have taken almost every pitch to "pay in advance for 
X number of years for this discount or that… ) so when we get hit up again for 
development that one would hope would be just part of the product road map, it 
does indeed seem odd. Even "advanced smooth scrolling graphics" seems odd to be 
funding, since all this is doing is bring the LC mobile on parity with any 
other smooth flowing app.

This is terribly obvious, but just to say it all again:

Thinking about it, one has to appreciate the challenge the company faces. 
Having gone open source, Livecode moves to a world where everyone and his kid 
sister thinks programming is free. PHP, Javascript, python, CSS…people living 
in those world just don't pay for their tools. 

So if open source users are going up (which apparently they are)… that doesn't 
help us (to say the obvious)

If not enough of them are using LC to build products for sale to support 
themselves, OR are not using the tools in-house inside Enterprise (like we do 
here, even though we are non -profit we do have software budgets) where budgets 
are such that the ROI on paid license(s) is well worth it. And it would be easy 
enough for some unscrupulous for-profit company to have 5 coders on community 
and only one license and pretty much get away with it…(which is cheating of 
course)…

So  If the user "pie" of those whose are paying  <> equal $ to support the 
company and + hours for features, how does LC handle this, to stay alive?   And 
we all want it to stay alive…right?  

I was hoping to talk to Kevin about some other ideas for solutions… but he is 
busy. Perhaps I need to fly to Scotland for tea. In the meantime, I 
voted/pledged for the DataGrid2/GraphicsUpgrade.

RE: Trouble with Building from g8.1.5 rc1 for Early Version iOS

I sometimes get that error on the first build with any minimum version. 
Subsequent builds work OK until LC is restarted. Try setting it back to 6.1 and 
build, if it fails build again and it should be OK. This has been reported but 
is elusive.

 For the general settings you can put the YAML wherever you would like. All
that matters is the indentation and the examples in he docs show the proper
indentation. For example, the YAML shown in the following link can be added
to the end of the app.yml file. There are no spaces before the dropdmg
entry. It is a root level property.

https://github.com/trevordevore/levurehelper-dropDMG/blob/master/README.md#configuring-settings-for-the-helper

The DropDMG helper also has a setting that is used to name the DMG that is
created. That setting has to go in the "build profiles" section of the
app.yml file. The example in the docs shows the section of the app.yml file
that the setting goes in.

Different, yet unambiguous, arguably more so than using "=" for 
comparison in most contexts but for assignment in variable declaration.


DoSomething tA and tB
-- "and" treated as a string, since it follows a custom command name

put tA and tB into temp
-- "put" is a built-in command, so "and" is a logical operator (and 
isn't "temp" a keyword?)


DoSomething (tA and tB)
-- Parens bypass any attempt to be English-like, forcing evaluation.

I have a hard time voting for, or funding, Hosting debugger. I already 
paid for that, back in 2009. It was a feature described in, and mostly

decision to buy a Founder's (lifetime) License for on-rev - I thought 
(and till do think) that remote debugging for web server is a killer 
feature, and pretty much a unique feature - afaik no other server 
language offers the equivalent. So I would like to see it happen, and 
think it wold be a good selling point feature for Livecode.


But I have a hard time paying more for it when I already did pay. Not 
only that, I paid for lifetime usage of it - and now I have the chance 
to fund it happening, AND then pay $99 per year to use it.

RE: Inconsistent comma requirements

[Ralph DiMola via use-livecode]

I have had several of these typos in the past and they never caused
problems. In the example below pParam is argument 1. The comma is ignored.

command test, pParam
   answer pParam
end test

The parser is much better in v8 but could still be tightened up a bit. An
example is extraneous closing parens in "if" or "repeat" expression
constructs are no longer ignored. They didn't cause parsing errors prior to
v8.

My comma in the above example is minor compared to the other LC goals at
hand for the team.

Apparently commas are optional in a handler definition, e.g.:

But they are not optional when passing arguments to a definition, e.g.:

 Doomething a b

 DoSomething a,b

Because most languages require commas separating arguments, and because
calling a handler explicitly requires them, it never occurred to me that the
definition would allow them to be optional.

Ideally the same rules would apply on both sides.

I can kinda understand why they don't here, but if we had comma-free
arguments we could add syntactic sugar to make things more English-like,
e.g.:

   DoSomething with a and b


Two questions:

How many of you have never before known that commas are optional between

I discovered this in LC6.7.11 only about 2 months ago and was very
surprised. I had expected that separating arguments by commas would be a
requirement

I see the absence of required comma in handler definitions almost as a
"bug" in that is increases the risk of making an error. If I have
composite variable names, like 'thisParam' and I accidentally type it a
'this Param'  I now have 2 parameters for my handler where I had
intended only 1.

Unrelated aside: My biggest wish for an IDE script editor improvement
would be for a popup list of previously used variables - even if it only
listed variables you explicitly declared via a Global or Local
statement. There are so many time I am write some code and I cant
remember what I called something 100 lines previously and have to scroll
up and find it and scroll back to where I am editing.

Yeah, just a pipe dream, but a pleasant one.

On the other hand, perhaps a rule could be introduced that any keywords 
used in arg strings with no commas when calling a custom handler are 
treated as literal text.


We do generally tread lightly with keywords, and often for good reason. 
But at the same time the language is chock full o' "sometimes" rules, so 
apparently the engine is already smart enough now and then to use a 
token different ways depending on context.


For example, like other xTalks LC uses "=" as a comparison operator, but 
not for assignments as is commonly done in other languages.


But only sometimes.  When used to define a script-local var or constant, 
the engine is smart enough to notice the context and allow the readable, 
compact form that uses "=" for assignment, e.g.:


  constant kWindowMin = 500
  local sMaxConnections = 1

I'm not advocating that the engine team take time away from more 
critical tasks (like restoring video playback on Linux soon? ) to 
monkey with trivialities like comma-free handler params.


It was just odd to find something so fundamental to the language that 
I'd never seen before in all my years with LC.  And apparently there are 
at least two of us.




PS: I tried using the Dictionary to find "and" in order to review any 
nuances about its use, but alas was merely reminded why the new Dict 
isn't as useful as the old one (beyond the painfully generous white space):


When I run that search I get a great many results, unsorted and 
apparently unranked, most not relevant to my search, and with the exact 
match hidden somewhere in the bottom third of the results list, which 
mystifyingly includes "exit", "export with palette", and 
"MCISendString", among others.


Since the old Dictionary was written entirely in LiveCode and the new 
one wraps JavaScript inside the browser widget, in a way the funky 
results make a very strong statement about the power of LiveCode, 
however subtly presented:


On the TIOBE index JavaScript is listed as the world's seventh most 
popular language.  We're told that one of the reasons languages that 
reach the tipping point of the TIOBE Top 50 stay there is because they 
have vast ecosystems of good libraries available for common tasks, like 
search.


Yet what we see in practice here is that it's easier to write a custom 
indexing and search subsystem from scratch in LC than it is to merely 
find one of equivalent quality in the JavaScript world.


:)

However, I don't think that particular syntactic sugar, at least, would

At the moment there's a limited list of messages.

Look in the script of revidelibrary.8.livecodescript... the function 
revIDEMessages() has a list and there are three more in the 
revIDEMessageIsValid() function. From the messagebox, issuing the 
command "put revIDEMessages()" will give you most of them.


Note that none of this is documented at the moment. If you're going to 
try to subscribe to a message, make sure to unsubscribe when you close

you'll end up with some unexpected experiences. Even there's no explicit

Thanks Mark,

I uploaded the SVG text exactly as I copied it out of the file and a text file 
AND
the Affinity designer file. Hope this gives some insight . I appreciate any 
hint.

text of SVG ( as pasted into the widget )
https://www.dropbox.com/s/lu024cmjh31dy3w/Puppet%20svg%20text.txt?dl=0

the AF designer file :
https://www.dropbox.com/s/9pe3lstaurbmy9i/POPNewAF_EXPORT.svg?dl=0

(I did try FLAT and  PRINT export options, also tried grouped vs non grouped)

This one works but does not show a lot of strokes in there.

Warmest regards

Frans

Re: Set the imagesource of a character to a built in graphic

[J. Landman Gay via use-livecode]

Okay so here is an odd thing. Given that the imageSource of char 1 of eack line 
of a scrolling field is set to a graphic (A plus sign in this case):

on selectionChanged
put the clickChar into tChar
if tText is not space then exit selectionChanged

put word 2 of the clickLine into tLine
put the buttonlist of me into aButtonList -- an array
put aButtonList ["buttonNames"] into tButtonList -- contains names of 3 
buttons each line preceded by 2 tabs

if tButtonList is not in me then

   put tButtonList before line tLine+1 of me -- works great!
else
   replace tButtonList with empty in me -- removes the imageSource on char 
1 of every line
end if
end selectionChanged


This works, but on the second click it replaces the imageSource on every line. 
That shouldn't happen should it??


ImageSource is sort of like text styles, you can see it most clearly in 
the htmlText of a field. An imageSource is represented by tags just like 
bold, italic, and other styles. You'd see the same behavior if the lines 
were bold instead of having an imageSource.


Inserting some lines into a field doesn't change the styling of the 
other lines, it just adds some additional unstyled text.


The replace command works only on plain text and in this case the script 
is passing the entire content of the field. The replace command gets the 
full text, does the replacement, and puts the text back. As far as it's 
concerned, the imageSource characters are just spaces. Styling tags are 
ignored and consequently stripped out.


You can either get the lineOffset of the unwanted lines and delete only 
those, which leaves the htmlText intact elsewhere, or you could get the 
htmlText of the field, do the replacement, and then set the field's 
htmlText to the revised content.
