POST on mobile apps
The dictionary entry for POST contains this about mobile apps: "Cross-platform note: On iOS and Android, the post command is implemented in the engine. Therefore the Internet library is not needed to ensure the command works in a mobile standalone application. If included, the Internet library implementation will be used instead of the engine implementation. Note: The Android and iOS engines do not support 'libUrl' but do allow you to use post in the background." This seems contradictory. The internet library is not required since POST is implemented in the engine. But if it's included, it will be used. But mobile doesn't support it. I've included both the Internet library and TSNet in my mobile app, which needs POST and get URL. I see now that I can eliminate the Internet library. Do I still need TSNet for mobile "get URL"? We're seeing crashes on iOS when the app sends data to a server. I wonder if there's a conflict having both these extensions included in the build. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.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
Finding words with diacriticals
Hi, I have a text search that in which I’m trying to improve the UI. I have this text: Edgard Varèse (Poème électronique) was a pioneer in the application of tape recording technology to composition. The search database, built with Scott McDonald’s rrpSearch plugin, can only be searched using the exact characters. So, I’m building a supplementary array of words with alternate spellings that the user might type in the search box. I would reference the array to get an equivalent word and so provide the user with a usable result. So if the user types in “poeme” — I would find “poeme” in the array and its equivalent “Poème” and I would actually search for “Poème” — and the user would get a result that included “Poème”. So I want to build this array of word equivalents. The search database is built by rrpSearch from text on cards, so I have to go back to these cards to get my data. I’m using the find command to search cards to find every instance of “è” or “é” or “ü” or “î” or whatever. There are many non-English words in the text. The foundText function should give me the words that contain that character—except it doesn’t in every case. It only finds words that BEGIN with the search text. So électronique — found (char begins the word) Varèse — not found (char is in middle of the word) Poème — not found (char is in middle of the word) I’m using “find” and “the foundText” which returns the whole word that contains the search character. No other form of find will return the whole word. The dictionary for foundText: Is there another relatively simple way to get the whole word in which the desired characters live? There are dozens of fields on thousands of cards to search. (I realize that there are far better ways to handle a search, and in the future, I will have a database that I will design myself--but not yet.)

I think urlEncode/urlDecode is your friend here (watch the wordwrap):
on mouseUp
local idID
put
revXMLCreateTree("",false,true,false)
into idID
revXMLPutIntoNode idID, "/identity/name", urlEncode(field
"name_source") -- fld contains "André"
put urlDecode(revXMLText(idID,,true)) into URL

Re: OAuth2 was Re: google sheets - anybody doing anything besides mergGoogle
@Matthias: "i found a forum post from mimu which included also a GoogleCalendarTest stack. http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?t=31840"; Yes, correct. Thanks for the hint! This is the one I am using. The scripts are very good and allow to expand the idea of connecting to Google Services. It needs some work first understanding the scripts. The main one is in the card, but well documented. Again, I think it would be more than helpful for all LC users and the visibility of LiveCode on the market if there is something "out of the box" to connect to all kinds of OAuth2 main services since integration becomes a major subject. I am not sure I can do this (giving time constraints, otherwise I would). We will see...

Re: Where is André ? André says "goodbye"
It s revXMLText (idID) that converts high ASCII characters to HTML entities, so I don't think file vs binfile will make much difference. ___ 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: Where is André ? André says "goodbye"
It looks like url("file:...") still makes some conversion. I think we
should still use binfile to avoid conversion and before we do so, we
need to make sure we get the encoding right.

Re: Where is André ? André says "goodbye"
To be honest, I didn‘t read your post after reading the topic. I really thought you were asking where Andre ( Garcia) is. (A longtime member of the LC community. ) Perhaps a more meaningful term would have led to more answers. Matthias Von meinem iPhone gesendet > Am 14.03.2020 um 08:01 schrieb J.

Re: Where is André ? André says "goodbye"
Not at all, the most likely reason is that no one was sure of the answer. Or maybe your post got lost in the fog. But re-reading your post, it looks like you're doing the textEncode at the wrong time. Storing encoded text in LC can give unexpected results, instead try putting the textEncode function directly into the line that writes the file. put textEncode(revXMLText (idID), "UTF8") into URL **myFile.xml** The general rule is that encoding should happen when data leaves LC, and should be decoded when data comes in.
