Re: please help!!
I created a test stack. I created six buttons and grouped them. I ran the following in a seventh button. It never failed. I'm using 6.5.2.

Re: please help!!
I've had similar problems using the snapshot command, where the engine seems to get behind. My latest problem was my own fault, though where I had locked the screen and it couldn't update. What fooled me was that when I put in a breakpoint, the breakpoint unlocked the screen and it looked as I expected. Finally, after getting a night's sleep, I tried an unlock screen command and it all worked as desired. I don't know if this would be considered a bug, but it is certainly a way the debugger can give a confusing result.

Re: please help!!
Hello Jacqueline, You are incredibly kind! I did rest up and then started over this morning. I went back to my original stack before this latest problem and just rebuilt it from scratch. I don't know that I did anything differently, but now it works just fine. Every once in awhile I will get the most random error message when running a program, but it never seems to ultimately matter. That is one of my frustrations with LiveCode. And as you point out, it's going to be hard to learning any new language. So, for today, I am tired but moving on. Maybe you'll give me a rain check to look at one of my stacks in the future?

Re: please help!!
Larry, works for me too. I have had, though not in a while, cases where a handler works while stepping through a script, but fails when run. I was never able to duplicate this, and it goes back to HC days. The issue always went away, eventually, though I never understood why. Perhaps after much agonizing over those cases I changed something and suddenly all was well. I cannot imagine an error that would pass the debugger, but break normal execution. But I know it happened. Anyone else corroborate this phenominum?

Re: please help!!
The names and the labels for each button are the same? Other than the one with the question mark which is named tile1# in the same pattern as the others, but has the ? label? As mentioned above, it sounds like the name of some of your buttons may be duplicates. After triple checking that again, you might grab the stable version of the 6.1.1 (Or jump to 6.6.2?) Maybe theres something funky going on with the 6.1.1 rc 4 version. Did notice in the rc5 bug fixes that when cloning a group, revuniqueids are not updated correctly for the groups child controls. Don't know if you have cloned groups of buttons but thought i'd throw it out there.

Re: please help!!
hey Paul, I changed it to contains (as you suggested) and now it works. Thanks. Still seems like a bug to me since I KNOW that I don't have a space or return or anything in the name. 2) I was not aware that RC versions are not necessarily considered stable. I had kept using that version, because just about every time I upgraded to a new version I had some new problems. Do you recommend any newer version as truly stable? Unfortunately, my experience with LC is that I just trade one set of problems for a newer set of problems.

Re: please help!!
I know you've found a workaround now, but I'm curious: Where does rownum get its value? Do the button names match their labels exactly? Your handler references the buttons by name (button thisButton) but then looks at their labels. If they don't match, the handler won't be working with the button you think it is. (Though this wouldn't explain the success when debugging.)

You have all been very kind in trying to help me. Right now, I am completely disillusioned with LiveCode.

I mean I cannot get the error consistently and, much worse, I cannot get the program to behave as it should. Probably I will go learn some other program because I have had way too many of these sessions where LiveCode just lets me down. All the people on this list have been extremely wonderful and helpful.

Hi Larry, First of all, when you write it didn't work, you should really write exactly why it didn't work and what you got instead of the expected result. E.g. did nothing happen, did you get an error message --if you got an error message, then what was the exact text of the error message--, or did the script run and was the result different from what you wanted? The follow should work, i.e. it should remove all lines except those containing the string d14: on mouseUp filter fld Column3 with *d14* end mouseUp I'm assuming that this script is in a button and that you click on the button to run the script.

Re: please help!
Hi. filter and matchtext take a bit of practice. It seems you have more stuff in your filterPattern than you need, but I could be mistaken, As a test, make a field with the following in it: aa bb cc dd Now in a button: on mouseUp get fld 1 filter it without bb --also try filter with... end mouseUp Does this do what you intended?
