I was looking for a way to point the svgicon widget to an external svg file and finding that for some reason this isn't built into the widget. So I want online to livecodeshare and typed "svg" into the search field. Upper case. Lower case. Didn't matter - I still got zero results, even though I know there are several stacks to deal with svg files. Thank you so much for your Sample Stacks plugin, which does the job SO much better than that stupid web site. Still don't have an answer to my problem, but at least I can search properly. Over time I've gradually been replacing parts of my development environment with improvements: tinyDictionary, etc. Waiting for someone to build a better Proj Browser. BTW... I typed "Sample stacks" into the web search field and got 57 hits, only one of which had anything to do with sample stacks. -- Mark Wieder ahsoftw...@gmail.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
Re: Quick and simple web demos?
Short answers: 1. Yes 2. Yes, but probably not. 3. Yes. Long answers. 1. Yes, absolutely, it's ideal for quick, easy-to-distribute apps or demo samples. 2. Yes, you'll need somewhere to store/give access to the files. But it probably won't be Google Drive - you want the files of the app to each be accessible via https: (and there are assumptions about their relative position in the default build version - may be possible to over-ride them and use Google Drive, but I suspect lots more work. Easiest is to just have a web server and put the bundle created by build-for-web up there. 3. Yes. 4. There are a few samples, etc. https://lessons.livecode.com/m/4071/l/1496056-how-do-i-put-my-first-app-on-the-web-lc-10-and-later Note this uses the default-built HTML file, which is pretty unappealing. The discussion on the comments says something about replacing it, or there have been other examples on the uselist and (more) on the forums about this. In one of the LC Global conferences fairly recently, Steve Crighton and Michael Macreary did a web app, with custom html/LCS to interact to handle resizing etc. Sorry - don't know which one it was, and the poor indexing/naming makes it tedious to try to find. It's all a bit complex and barely documented for now, but will improve before actual release. Alex.

Re: RegEx to convert standard date to sql date
Well it's like this. I am working in a document management system, and when I capture a date, I want to convert it to an sql date. I am not working in Livecode for this.

Re: RegEx to convert standard date to sql date
Regex is overkill for this . i would handcode the translation like Keith mentioned.

Re: RegEx to convert standard date to sql date
If it's always this standard string 'tDate' why not avoid Regex and just set the delimiters of tDate to "/" and then put item 3 of tDate & item 2 of tDate and put item 1 of tDate?

Mike, if you have the bundle and the appstarterstack, you can view the examples there.
