Blowing Away the Cobwebs
Hi everyone, I’m getting back to LiveCode after a fairly long absence, having been sidetracked by a massive text analysis project that required me to depend a lot on Mathematica. I’m hoping you can help with a few ad hoc questions. Does LiveCode have a matrix inverse function? I thought it did but I can’t find one. I did find the matrix multiplication function. Is there a tutorial (for dummies) on writing externals? I’d like to export some of my Mathematica code to C and use LiveCode to build a UI. I don’t know C, but I do know that Mathematica code can be exported as C. Is it possible to give fields rounded corners? I don’t see a radius property in the field inspector. I can create one by overlaying a field with a graphics rectangle that has rounded corners, but if the field property exists, I’d rather use it.

Re: Shell Command and cURL
Hi Richard and Mark, Thanks for responding. Richard, I had tinkered with Put and libURLDownloadToFile or whatever version of libURL was available in version 7.1 (I have only today updated to 8.1.2) but the problem with those commands is that they need to make a connection or call (not sure of the proper terminology) to the remote server for every file (say, by using a Repeat For Each loop), and the server cuts me off after a random number of files. cURL makes just one connection or keeps one connection open, and it has worked like a charm. Thanks for the heads up about rsync. I hadn’t heard of it, so I’ll do my homework. Thanks for the script, Mark. Shell scripts will definitely be a new venture for me.

Shell Command and cURL
Hello everyone, I have never used LiveCode’s Shell command, and I was hoping that someone on the forum might be able to give me an example of how to use it with cURL to download a list of files from an FTP site. I have been using cURL to download many files at a time from a given directory by pasting the code into Terminal in OS X. The problem is that Terminal cannot handle a command that is too long. This limits me to pasting no more than about 500 file paths at a time, but I need to download about 145,000 files. That’s a fair bit of manual pasting. So if someone could give me an example of using the Shell command with cURL, I’d be much obliged.

Re: Need Help With String Pattern Matching
Hello Quentin, Thank you for the tips on string pattern matching. I’m used to Mathematica’s string pattern syntax, which is probably built on regex, but I can see the similarities in your nice examples, particularly the using of alternatives [Joe|Anges]. While Mathematica’s string functions are insanely extensive and their implementation far more powerful that those in LiveCode, they can become arbitrarily slow if used repeatedly in loops, and unfortunately, my procedure requires repeating the functions over tens of thousands of files. That is why I want to build an alternative procedure in LiveCode.

Need Help With String Pattern Matching
Hello everyone, I’ve just come back to LiveCode and I'm pretty little rusty. I used to do some basic text analysis of files where the lines containing strings of interest were consistent and therefore easy to spot. I am now working on files where the chunk of text that contains the data I want is more ambiguous. I figure I should be using MatchChunk and was wondering if anyone might give me some tips on how to do the following. The chunk that I want to extract will have a certain word or phrase near its start and a certain word or phrase near its end. There may be many such chunks like it in the document, but the best candidate contains certain other strings. Here’s an example: The chunk starts with the word *owner* or the phrase *beneficial owner*. The chunk ends with *all directors* or *less than one percent*. The chunk contains all of the following: - At least four or five big numbers, e.g., 234,879 - At least two percentages, e.g., 3.4%, or percentage signs If you are curious, this would more or less identify an ownership table in a proxy statement filed at the Securities and Exchange Commission. These are archived at the SEC in text and html (in vintages going back to about 1994). Any tips or examples would be much appreciated.

Need Help Throttling Downloads From an FTP Site
Hello everyone,
I posted about this a while back but am still having trouble.
I need to download thousands of files from the Security and Exchange
Commission's website. Access is through anonymous FTP with "anonymous" as the
username and my email address as the password. I've been using Put in a Repeat
With loop as
repeat with each line remoteFilePath in listOfFilePaths
— set new localFileName is set before the download request is made
put url ("ftp://anonymous:myemailaddr...@ftp.sec.gov/; & remoteFilePath)
into url ("file:/" & exportFolderPath & "/" & localFileName )
end repeat
but my script dies (the stack is lifeless and unresponsive) after a few dozen,
and sometimes a few hundred downloads. I used similar scripts in Mathematica
and confirmed that the problem is session-timed-out and
cannot-connect-to-server types of errors. The SEC's webmaster tells me, "There
is no load/rate limiting on FTP, but if you are running a fast process, it is
possible you are temporarily overwhelming the server." So, I'm thinking that I
need to throttle my requests, and maybe should be using libURLDownloadToFile to
check the status of the current file being downloaded and not request another
file until the current download is complete. I also wonder whether I should be
connecting to the FTP site only once with the username and password, loop my
requests, and then close the connection. Not sure how to do either of these and
would greatly appreciate any suggestions or tips.
Gregory

Function to Remove HTML Tags from Text
Hello everyone, Is there a LiveCode function that will remove all HTML tags from some text? I know how to do it in Mathematica but not LiveCode.

Hi Phil, Thanks for the detailed handler! I’ll give it a whirl. Blocking is not really the problem for me; it’s the session timeouts or dropped connection when downloading many files in a loop.

Re: use-livecode Digest, Vol 135, Issue 3
Hi Peter, Thank you for the heads up on the ps command. I was able to get Apache running with the original httpd.conf file. Apache does not run with the httpd.conf file that I modified the way you suggested in your previous post for LiveCode server. I must have entered something incorrectly or in the wrong place. I added Directory Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/ Options +ExecCGI /Directory because the LiveCode server file is in the CGI-Executables folder. I then added ScriptAlias /livecode-cgi/ Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/” within the existing section that begins with IfModule alias_module and ends with /IfModule And finally, I added AddHandler lcscript .lc Action lcscript /livecode-cgi/livecode-server to the existing section that begins with IfModule mime_module and ends with /IfModule I notice that in my old Mavericks httpd.conf file, the last two statements, AddHandler and Action, appear in the section Directory /Library/WebServer/Documents” rather than IfModule mime_module.

Arrow Key Selection in Option Menus
Hello everyone, I have a question about buttons formatted as option menus. I created a standalone for my students that allows them to submit answers to multiple choice homework assignments via FTP to my Mac at work. Once in a while I will receive a blank submission from a student using a PC version of the standalone. By blank, I mean the student's text file on my Mac, which is their log, is updated with the date and time and name of the quiz, but the list of answer choices, for example, A, C, A, A, B, E, is missing. As far as I can tell, it has never happened with students using Macs. I thought it might be that some students quit the app before receiving the confirmation that their answers have gone through. I took that possibility into account by building in a progress message and a warning not to quit, and a warning for students who were actually submitting a list of blanks. One day, a PC-using student, who had had the blank experience, told me that he is able to submit successfully when he selects his answers using a trackpad or a mouse, but that when he selects answers using the arrow keys, the answers that appear selected in the option buttons are not sent. I took a look at this on my Mac, and although I seldom use the arrow keys, I can select answers in option menus using the arrow keys, and I can send them fine. My handler simply loops through the option buttons and gathers the answers by taking the value of the selected line. Is there something else I should be doing for PC users?

Re: Appending Data Via FTP
Hello Richard, Thanks for the tip. I think I will switch from the app to LiveCode server and then do all data transfers through a web site using CGIs. Using FTP for now, I can download all of the data, because the files are small, append new data and then upload. The only catch is the odd occasion when a student quits the app before the upload is complete or is otherwise interrupted. That is what I think has resulted in an empty data file appearing on the server. Gregory I think what'll happen there is that the url expression will be evaluated first, and you'll wind up with the local variable it appended and the item on the server untouched. The most efficient way to do this would be to have a CGI receive the data and append it to the file, easily sendable with POST. Using FTP, I believe the only solution would be to download the file, append it, and re-upload it. There may be other options in the FTP spec, though, but still I'd consider using the CGI solution first as it would be simple and fast. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World ___ 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

Also again if you have both there is a chance that the set up of the files is a bit different in that you won't modify the httpd.conf itself (though I think this can be made to work) but instead there are a couple of folders for 'sites' (one contains symlinks of the files of the other.

Windows Standalone Does Not Have an App Menu
Hello everyone, I develop LiveCode apps for my students on my Mac, and I sometimes have limited opportunities to fully test them on PCs. I recently updated to LiveCode 5.0.2 and rebuilt a stack that was originally coded in 5.0.1. I saved the stack as Mac and Windows standalones for distribution to my students. One of my Windows-using students told me today that the app does not have a default App menu, e.g., My App, with whatever menu items the Windows app menu would have, but especially Quit (or Exit)! Because there is no Quit menu item, there is no way to exit the app when the undecorated splash screen appears. I don’t know what the Windows equivalent to the dock on the Mac is, but there appears to be no icon on his Windows box to indicate the app is open or to provide another means to quit. How do I get the default app menu to appear on the Windows standalone like it used to? Has something changed with 5.0.2?

Hi Matthias and Richard, Thanks for the tip Matthias. I’ll give it a try. Richard, I’m afraid that changing the extension does not cause the type to change. I’ve been saving them with the extension “csv” and even even changed them manually to “txt” and then back to “csv”. The Get Info window lists them as either Document or a Microsoft Workbook.

LiveCode FTP Hanging in Some Instances
Hello everyone, Once again, I am trying to weed out the few remaining, infrequent bugs that have cropped up in a little FTP app that I have developed for my students. The app is working fine in that almost 100 students have been able to run it on their Macs or PCs, sign in, create an account on my server (my office Mac), respond to a questionnaire (a simple experiment requiring a choice), and submit trial answers to a quiz. However, three students have gotten back to me reporting that the app starts up but hangs when trying to connect to the FTP site. They say that the program freezes on “Connecting...”. Below is a snippet of the startup procedure. You can see that the first line is the message “Connecting...” put in a field to let users know what is happening. The rest is equally simple (famous last words). The handler starts using a library stack that contains two handlers that are referenced during start up. One is a function, isConnected(), that confirms whether the computer is connected to the Internet by returning True or False; the other is a command, cleanLineEndings, that ensures that all of the line endings in the files being downloaded use Return. isConnected() is in the last block of code in the snippet. My guess as to the problem is that the students experiencing it are Windows users, and that they have moved the app file out of the folder in which the library file resides, When isConnected() is called, I assume that nothing is returned because the function can’t be found, and because I’ve only included False in my If statement, there isn’t a condition to exit when nothing is returned. Could the missing library be causing the problem? If so, all I have to do is expand the conditions in that last block. But wouldn’t a call to a function that can't be found generate an error message from the engine? # Startup Procedure put “Connecting...” into fld “Message start using stack LP Library libURLSetLogField the long id of fld FTP Log of card Connection of stack “Connection libURLSetFTPListCommand NLST --FTP Information get fld FTP Addresses of card Connection of stack Connection split it by return and comma set the cFTPAddressArray of stack Connection to it put the cFTPAddressArray of stack Connection into aFTPAddress # Registration Information put url (ftp://; aFTPAddress[Students Folder]) into students cleanLineEndings students filter students without .DS_Store —And so on until # Internet Connection -- To work, the app needs to be connected to the Internet and have access to the registration and accounts files if not isConnected() then go to card Not Connected exit openStack else if students is empty or accounts is empty or instructors is empty then go to card Student List Not Available exit openStack end if end if — And then more stuff Regards, Gregory ___ 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: LiveCode FTP Hanging in Some Instances
Hi Andy, Good points, all. isConnected() only checks for an Internet connection and is invoked by the OpenStack handler of a stack that represents the splash screen of the app. I will most definitely include a check for the library stack loading. I suspect it is the culprit. After posting my original message to this list, I received an email from one of my students who said that he suspected that Norton Anti-virus on his PC was somehow preventing the app from running properly. Need to follow up on that.

Hi Mark and Jacqueline, The substacks had PreOpenStack handlers that called a library stack and sometimes emptied out some fields, but what they did not have OpenStack handlers.

Curious Glitch in My FTP App
Hello everyone, I created a desktop utility that allows my students to access files on my Mac via FTP. I compiled it for Mac, Windows, and Linux. The app opens with a user ID and password field so that students can create accounts. Most students have been able to create accounts without a problem, but I have had three or four instances of students not being able to sign back in after creating an account. The sign-in process is a simple one where the user ID and password they provide in the app is used to retrieve the account file and authenticate. Seems that for some of my Windows users, nothing happens when they click the Sign In button, that is, there is no error but the app is not picking anything up to authenticate. Here’s an excerpt of an email from one of my students, who refers to the sign-in not working from her PC laptop. When I tried to sign in on my laptop it still didn't work. But when I tried on a Mac I was able to access it. Any thoughts?

Hi Pierre and Scott, Thanks for responding. Yes, Scott, it was Platform that I was looking for. Thanks.

Question About Windows Standalone
Hello everyone, I’m am Mac user who doesn’t know much, if anything, about Windows. I’ve just built a standalone for Mac and Windows and I’d like to confirm what it is I need to provide to Windows users. The Standalone Builder produced a folder called Windows. Inside of it is a folder called Externals, which is empty because I have none, the executable file, and the stack files I used in the project. Do I give users the entire Windows folder or just the executable? The reason that I ask is that the Mac build hides everything nicely in a package, and I was a little concerned seeing those stack files sitting out in the open.

Avoiding File Update Anomalies (Collisions) on a Server
Hello everyone, I would appreciate your thoughts on how to avoid collisions on a server on those presumably rare occasions when two or more visitors attempt to write to a file at exactly the same time. In my case, it’s students writing via FTP to a text log file, but the same situation can occur if visitors to a web site, for example, submitting an entry to a guest book, do it at the same time. I don’t know what the consequences of this are. My crude and imperfect attempt to minimize this possibility is to have a Busy file that acts as a flag when the log file is being written to. It contains just one line of data: False, the seconds If the first item is False, it means that the log file is not currently being written to. A user about to write to the file invokes a handler that changes this first item to True, and inserts a timestamp in the form of the seconds. When they are finished writing to the file, the same handler sets the Busy file to False and inserts a new timestamp. The purpose of the timestamp is to cover for the possibility of the write process or the handler being aborted, therefore failing to set the Busy file back to False. If the timestamp is more than, say, four minutes old, the True flag can be overridden. This method is obviously imperfect because it is possible that two people might be writing to the Busy file at the same time! I’m curious to know of other handler-based approaches that do not involve setting up separate databases.
