Re: Regex brain failure...

For testing regex you might find it useful to use regex101. It's excellent
and you can save the page. I put your text here
 just for testing. pls note your tabs are
corrupted in the email and I put an "a" to make it work just for test.

Re: Stacks and Custom properties

[Kaveh Bazargan via use-livecode]

Bob, good point. In my case I am using several standalone stacks, so when
the standalone opens, it reads data from a remote location (database
or Google Sheets) and saves them as custom variables. In addition there are
variables that are created throughout a session that are saved in a similar
way. Then these values are available to all stacks throughout the session.
Glad to hear of any thoughts on this.

I am only reading now, Richard. I would like to be able to write too, and

I realise Google Sheets is not a true database, but the attraction is that
everyone is familiar with them and are not intimidated.

Mark, my problem is that I loved the idea of script only stacks so got them
working (7 or more SoS's) that are loaded through the  Files tab of
Standalone Application builder. Obvious advantages are allowing me to
use GitHub and to collaborate as discussed.

I want to be able to build standalones often, and I cannot distribute the
code. So from what I understand I have to convert these back into standard
stacks every just before making a standalone, then load them thro the
Stacks tab (not Files tab). This is quite labour intensive. I do hope there
is an automated solution to be able to avoid this.

I could use Levure and would love to, but it's one more thing to learn and
I feel an overkill for me as all my scripts are now in SoS files.

The slow editing in LiveCode is a big drawback for me. It is slow, spacing

Re: encrypting script-only stacks

[Kaveh Bazargan via use-livecode]

The benefits of SoS are so important that I would hate to have to go back
to binary again. Nothing like having pure text files to version, back up
etc. so I am also hoping for an elegant solution to encode these in
standalone.

You are right Richard. It is a testament to LiveCode that I can do
sophisticated stuff (by my standards) and not use arrays, but you have now
rightly pushed me to get into arrays, especially the speed gain that is
important for me. Thanks for all the good advice you give on this list. :-)

Hi Richard

So far I have used arrays very rarely. Not sure why.

I did not know about UUID.

One advantage of using the milliseconds is that it gives me an automated
timeline and speed of events, just by comparing the itemdelimiter. But my
use case is probably very specific. But I feel it is a good example of the
flexibility of LiveCode. :-)

Re: Format text data records for processing in Livecode

[Kaveh Bazargan via use-livecode]

My use case might be unusual in that I have several itemdelimiters in the
same text. I need to record what each one is, but they must not be the
same. I might be going off topic here, but I thought it is a simple way of
generating a text that is guaranteed to be unique.

Re: Format text data records for processing in Livecode

[Kaveh Bazargan via use-livecode]

I have an handler that needs the itemdelimiter to be unique every time I
call it, and that can be several times in quick succession. I use:

wait 1 millisecond
set the itemdelimiter to the milliseconds

The first line ensures that two successive loops do not have the same
itemdelimiter, and it is almost guaranteed to be unique every time.

Re: Replacing GlobalNames with Global Values

That's the beauty of LiveCode. We have all been taught that things are
hard, but LiveCode shows they need not be! I still haven't leaned!!!

Re: Refactoring is your friend / moving from 6.x to 9.x

[Kaveh Bazargan via use-livecode]

I don't think LiveCode without Malte is really LiveCode, so glad you are
back. :-)

Could you pls elaborate on the lock screen strategy? You said we should not
nest, and you also said that screen will not immediately be unlocked after
a handler. I was under the impression that multiple locks were not a
problem (e.g. one handler locks, then calls another that also locks). Then
when the main handler is done, screen is released. Any more info on that
would be appreciated.

Kaveh

I am stuck on something that should be simple. User has selected a text,
say a word in a field. How do I get the offset of the start and end of

You are right. It's getting complicated :-) So why does 200A allow wrapping
and 200B does not?

Re: Setting hidden of lines very slow

Hi Jim

Normally I want the text to be editable most of the time, so it needs to be
in the field, but just hidden. But i can definitely see uses for your
suggestion of having different "views" instantly available.

Re: Show invisible characters (tab, space, return) in field

[Kaveh Bazargan via use-livecode]

Hi Hermann

There is a also a zero width character. :-) that is 200B. So using a
monospace font all chars line up.

And even more interesting, when I press the backspace key, it generally
treats the composite pair as one character, so jumps back over both with
one backspace!!

Re: Show invisible characters (tab, space, return) in field

[Kaveh Bazargan via use-livecode]

Thank you for spending the time on this. Like all your posts it is an
education! Great idea to convert just a visible part of text! I am going to
study well and work on this.

On the live conversion, you are adding a unicode character before a space,
say. That means two characters and therefore two character widths. Is there
a way of making spaces zero width, or the new characters overlapping the
space etc? Ideally I want the text widths of lines to be the same with and
without the visible chars.

Re: Show invisible characters (tab, space, return) in field

[Kaveh Bazargan via use-livecode]

Thank you. Did not know about that. It works, but seems for a specific char
or chars.

I have tried:

on mouseup
   lock screen
   repeat with i = 1 to the number of chars of fld "text"
  if char i of fld "text" is return then
 set the imagesource of char i of fld "text" to "myreturn"
  end if
   end repeat
end mouseup

but of course it is slow and would be slower if I want to replace spaces.

Additionally, if I cut and pasted in the field I need to replace the chars
in the pasted text again...

What I am looking for is a native replacement of a return, say, with a
visible characters wherever it appears.

Re: Show invisible characters (tab, space, return) in field

[Kaveh Bazargan via use-livecode]

Thanks Bob. I did mean non-printing characters. I think just space, tab and
return.

The problem with replacing with with a character is that of course it is
not a space any more, so text would not wrap as normal. I need the user to
edit as normal and with normal functionality but see the normally invisible
characters. So seems I would need a native solution. :-(

Show invisible characters (tab, space, return) in field

[Kaveh Bazargan via use-livecode]

Is there any way of seeing invisible characters in a text field, similar to
the view in text editors and word processors?

Hi Hermann

Thanks for this. Any way of selecting or copying text from the PDF file?

Any way of finding a particular text in the PDF?

Apologies hh. I can confirm that the htmltext method works beautifully and
blindingly fast. I was going to try it to understand fully first. I now do
and am grateful for the amazing tricks I have learned here. :-)

Re: Setting hidden of lines very slow

[Kaveh Bazargan via use-livecode]

Hi all

I have learned a lot here, especially the hint of using styledText. But
there might be a misunderstanding. In my case, it is not necessarily the
whole line that is styled, but a line might *contain* a chunk of text that
is styled, e.g. one word in the middle of the line has textcolor set. So I
am looking to hide any line that contains no textcolor anywhere.

Trevors code contains:
...
 if tTextA[i]["runs"][1]["style"]["textcolor"] is not empty then
...

If I understand correctly the ['runs'][1] is looking at the first element
of that line. I need to check that no other elements in the line are styled
either. Before I write a loop that is slow again, any quick way of checking
for a line with no style anywhere?

Thanks all for the great contributions.

K

Re: Setting hidden of lines very slow

I am simulating a non-contiguous selection of text with a "Find all" button
that sets the style of all found items of text.

Then I want to inspect those "selections" only but showing the paras that
contain them and hiding all other lines. So I have a full view and a
"compact" view that the user can choose by clicking a button

Did not know about textStyle which has opened a whole new world! Thank you
so much for ruining my weekend Trevor. ;-)

hh, I love the first solution, which shows the beauty of LiveCode. But the
speed is the same as before...

i will try htmltext too. A while since I worked with it.

Thanks again.

Re: Setting hidden of lines very slow

[Kaveh Bazargan via use-livecode]

Yes Andre, that is the line that fixed it, in a split second :-)

But here is a follow-up: Now I want to hide all lines that have no text
style and only show lines with colored text. I use:

repeat with i = 1 to the number of lines of fld 1
  if the textcolor of line i of fld "text" is not empty then
 set the hidden of line i of fld "text" to false
  end if
   end repeat

This is taking time too. Any suggestions how to speed this up?

Setting hidden of lines very slow

I have a text field with some 3500 lines of text. I want to ensure all
lines are visible, as I have hidden some before. I use:

repeat with i = 1 the number of lines of fld 1
  set the hidden of line i of fld 1 to false
end repeat

This is taking over 1 minute to complete. I have tried removing all styling
from the text so e.g. backgroundcolor is empty, etc. Same result.

Any suggestions pls?

Thanks Brian. I want to have a flexible search capability and that is
indeed one of the things that would be good to have. I have a feeling it is
going to be a bit slow so will need some tricks or compromise. For
instance, only search if no key pressed for .5 seconds, so it not
interrupting typing..

Re: Selecting text in non-focused field

[Kaveh Bazargan via use-livecode]

Didn't know about foundChunk. Useful, thanks. :-)

It is just one text field I am working on.

Re: Selecting text in non-focused field

[Kaveh Bazargan via use-livecode]

Hi Craig

Thanks for your time. I should have given more details...

i am indeed using enterInField (actually returnInField), and the focus
remains the search box

I started with the Find command, but then changed to using matchChunk,
because:

   - The Find command shows a thin black border that is hard to see (any
   way of controlling this?
   - I want to do more complex stuff, e.g.
  - regex searches
  - Find all (extract lines containing the text)
  - Live search, so highlight item or items found as I type
  - Perhaps using different highlight colors for different types of
  finds

Looking again, I have to reinvent some aspects that Find already has, e.g.

   - Searching from last item found
   - Options for whole word etc

So thanks for that reminder! My questions now:

   - When I use matchChunk and select some text that is found (as if
   selecting manually), that selection disappears when the text field is not
   focussed. Any way around that? I am thinking I might use backgroundcolor,
   depending on speed
   - What control do I have on the style of the item found – other than
   thin black line?
   - Has anyone written a full text editing or word processing program I
   can get ideas from?

Thanks again Craig. :-)

Selecting text in non-focused field

[Kaveh Bazargan via use-livecode]

Am I right that if a field is not focused on in a card, then the text in it
cannot be selected?

I have a search field that I type in and when I press enter, it finds the
string in another text field. But when the search box is focused on again
the selection goes.

I want to be able to have the search box focused all the time so I can vary
the search. Any ideas pls?

Stack and Standalone hogging memory on Mac

[Kaveh Bazargan via use-livecode]

I have been working on a stack that has been behaving well. It is now
hogging all CPU memory when I open it and is unresponsive. There is no idle
handler. When I click Command–dot repeatedly the script pops up and
activity stops temporarily. I think this means something is running in
the background.

I have opened message watcher, but no activity when I don't interact.

I have saved as Standalone for Mac, and same problem exists in Standalone,
but of course I can't stop any execution there.

Any suggestions as to how I can pin down what is going on in the background?

regex problem

[Kaveh Bazargan via use-livecode]

The following line returns true as expected:

*put* matchtext("abc", "^[ ]*")
(zero or more spaces at start of string)

But the following:

*put* replacetext("abc", "^[ ]*", "~")
returns

"abc", not "~abc" as expected.

Any ideas?

Accessible Apps

[Kaveh Bazargan via use-livecode]

I am interested in creating an App in LiveCode, for iOS and Android,
primarily for reading html content (live or local). It needs
functionalities such as bookmarking, searching and commenting.

I want the App to be "accessible" if possible, so allowing say visually
impaired to use it. Any pointers pls? I cannot find much literature
on LiveCode and accessibility.

Sync with Google Contacts, iCloud or Apple Contacts

[Kaveh Bazargan via use-livecode]

I am using Mac OS X. I have my contacts synced between different
applications:

   - Google Contacts
   - Apple Contacts
   - FullContact
   - iCloud
   - BusyContacts

All works nicely and as far as I can see all changes are saved and synced,
including thumbnail photos.

Now I am looking for the following solutions:

**Ideal solution**

A fully synced contact manager in LiveCode where I can make modifications.
I have not been able to find an easy way to sync two way. If I can have a
way of syncing Google Contacts etc to MySQL. Then I can just read and write
to the database.

**Acceptable solution**

When I start up my LiveCode app, I read in the up to date contacts,
including thumbnails. No edits are made in LiveCode to contacts.

Grateful for any hints...

Regards
Kaveh

Re: Trapping multiple keystrokes

[Kaveh Bazargan via use-livecode]

Hi Paul

It looks like just what I need and thanks for that, but it does not do the
job in my stack and in the single field stack with one line added:


on arrowKey theKey
   put 1 into increment
   put me into current_value
   if theKey is "up" then
  put current_value + increment into the target
  repeat with i = 1 to 100
 put 1+i into temp
  end repeat
   end if -- up
   if theKey is "down" then
  put current_value - increment into the target
   end if -- down
   flushEvents("autoKey")
   pass arrowKey
end arrowKey

(note flushEvents near end)

The stack moves from the front so it no longer sees the arrows. This is a
separate problem I have had. (sorry to bring up this second issue.) Cannot
work out how to bring forward the main stack

Thank you so much Jacqueline

This indeed works. But if something is done in the background then the
problem starts. (I am using the same version of LiveCode.)

I tried this:


on arrowKey theKey
   put 1 into increment
   put me into current_value
   if theKey is "up" then
  put current_value + increment into the target
  repeat with i = 1 to 100
 put 1+i into temp
  end repeat
   end if -- up
   if theKey is "down" then
  put current_value - increment into the target
   end if -- down
   pass arrowKey
end arrowKey

The down arrow works but up arrow has the problem I have mentioned.

Re: Trapping multiple keystrokes

[Kaveh Bazargan via use-livecode]

Thanks for the replies guys.

Richmond, sorry I was not clear. It is simpler:

   - I click in a field that has a value
   - I press arrow key (up or down)
   - I want the value to change up or down in that field
  - After the value is changed, other actions are triggered, e.g.
  setting the value of a scrollbar to the same value
   - The process continues while I have the arrowkey pressed
   - As soon as I release the system is idle (except for the last arrow
   action that continues)

It is the final action I have a problem with, as dozens of arrow key
actions are held in the buffer. The number keeps increasing or decreasing
and background actions are triggered.

Here is a minimal version of the handler I have:

on arrowKey theKey
   if theKey is "up" then
  put current_value + increment into the target
   end if -- up
   if theKey is "down" then
  put current_value - increment into the target
   end if -- down
   pass arrowKey
end arrowKey

Trapping multiple keystrokes

[Kaveh Bazargan via use-livecode]

I have a field with a number in it. when focused, I want the value to go up
and down with the up/down arrow keys. The trouble is that if I keep the key
down, it traps multiple keydown messages that continue after the key is
released.

How can I ensure that message are terminated as soon as arrow key is
released?

Re: Simple tutorial on scrollbars?

[Kaveh Bazargan via use-livecode]

Hi all

I have had some great tips for rolling my own scrollbars from Roger, but a
simple question. What do the following do in the scrollbar inspector:

- Foreground fill
- Background fill
- Border fill

None seem to affect the colors of the components of a scrollbar.

Re: mouseWithin and mouseLeave problem

[Kaveh Bazargan via use-livecode]

Hi Bob

Guess what. MouseRelease works if you click either side of the
thumbposition, but not if you click the thumb itself. Looking for another
handler for that.

Could there be a more elegant solution? Something like a property  or
behavior that resets a scrollbar to its normal size if it is not a focus?

mouseWithin and mouseLeave problem

[Kaveh Bazargan via use-livecode]

I have a set of scrollbars that are normally small, to preserve screen
space. But I want them to expand when mouse enters, so give finer control,
then to shrink again when mouse leaves. I have managed to do this with
mouseEnter and mouseLeave.

Problem is that if I drag the thumb pointer with mouse down, by the time I
release the mouse it is still down and outside the bounds of the target
scrollbar, so no mouseLeave is sent.

I could use "on idle" to test if the mouse is within, but that would not be
efficient.

Suggestion please?

Regards
Kaveh

How to remove from a group

[Kaveh Bazargan via use-livecode]

Can't find how to remove a button from a group of buttons. Tried this in
stack script:

on mouseup
  remove the target from group "presentations"
  grab the target
   end if
end mouseup

but says object is not in group. Checked it is.

Re: MouseDown sent to button in group, but MouseUp sent to card

[Kaveh Bazargan via use-livecode]

I feel a bit dumb. yes, there was an empty mouseup handler in the buttons.
So that is fixed.

Now for mousewithin...

Having mousewithin in the stack script does not work unless I put:

on mousewithin
  pass mousewithin
end mousewithin

in the button.

What is the explanation for that?

MouseDown sent to button in group, but MouseUp sent to card

[Kaveh Bazargan via use-livecode]

I have buttons in a group. When I click any button, the mousedown message
is received by the button correctly but mouseup is received by card. Also I
believe mousewithin.

How can I get the button to be the target for all?

My script is in the stack

Thanks.

I have some controls that are grouped and the group has been made smaller,
so have a vertical scroll bar – very nice feature.

On one stack I can use two finger scroll on mac trackpad, but on another I
can't. But mouse on scroll bar works ok.

I have checked and all settings are the same. Is there a particular setting
that allows two finger scrolling?

Re: Importing Unicode from MySQL

[Kaveh Bazargan via use-livecode]

Hi Devin

Thanks for that. I just tried it and

*Bodø River*

becomes

*Bod River*

I was wondering at what point the Unicode is lost. So is it still intact
when it is saved as a variable? and is it then lost when the variable is
put into a field?

By the way the BYU documentation is the best on LiveCode. ;-)

Importing Unicode from MySQL

[Kaveh Bazargan via use-livecode]

I know this has been discussed before and I have tried to search for the
answer, but no success.

I am using LiveCode Community, 9.0.0 DP5 on Mac

I have a MySQL database where all fields are formatted as UTF8. I do a
query from LiveCode, and put the result in a field and I lose the non ascii
characters.

I am reading the result into whole_table.

I then tried this:

set the unicodeText of field "whole table" to uniEncode(whole_table,"UTF8")

but the non-ascii characters disappear.

any ideas pls

User friendly functions to replace MySQL queries?

Writing MySQL queries using LiveCode is a bit painful, so I thought of
writing some higher level functions to produce the queries, a bit like
these from Ken Ray:

But before I start I wonder if anyone else has done these.

I know André Garcia wrote a big package, but his site seems down:

Re: mySQL connection fine in LiveCode but error in standalone

Hi Mike

Thanks for the reply there is indeed a dbmysql.bundle included in the
package. should that not be there?

The database should be connecting on openstack. But there is also a
separate button that should connect, but that is giving the same error.

mySQL connection fine in LiveCode but error in standalone

[Kaveh Bazargan via use-livecode]

Hi folks

I am a definite newbie to databases, but I have been reading from a mysql
database on the Mac running LC 9. The command is:

revOpenDatabase("MySQL", DatabaseAddress, DatabaseName, DatabaseUser,
DatabasePassword)

When I export to standalone I get the "revdberr, invalid database" type
error.

Sorry not much more info but I wonder if there is a simple thing I am
missing. Is it perhaps that the password cannot  be saved in the stack?
