I know and love TextWrangler, having used it ever since the demise of the free version of BBedit, and having used that since about 1998. On a Mac that's great; but, with the exception of some very 'focussed' work, I do all my stuff on Linux, and, as yet, am unaware of a Linux equivalent to TextWrangler. You'll be glad to know that this link takes you to where you can download older versions, including PPC. Write a simple script to repeat through all the objects of your stack and if their script is not empty then output the object long name* and it's script to a single file. Open in TextWrangler and a quick grep will have all those replaces done in no time. Although it does have a 'Replace All' option, when it comes to scripts and other important data I always step through each and every replace - I'm always amazed how often there is a case where it idenfies text to replace but it's the odd man out and I don't want it replaced. The only gotcha, which I'm sure you're well aware of, is that all those parentheses must be be escaped - standard grep stuff. You could even write a simple script to read the amended file back into LC, Repeat for Each Line, matchText(a line that clearly is an object long name) then read in the script until you get to the next long name, then set the script of the previous long name* to the lines you've just read. * Not that you wouldn't do this, but more for any newbies reading; before doing this, duplicate your stack, Close and Remove from Memory the original stack, then do everything with the duplicate, then the long names will all correlate correctly.

The find and replace was always using wildcards() even when Use Regular Expressions was false. The find stack has been updated to allow users to choose the type of search from Regular Expressions, Wildcards or Plain Text. What symbols must one use for a wildcard? Richmond. The reason I asked this question was because I had to do a socking great search and replace through about 5000 lines of code: Yes, you guessed it; Richmond's Devawriter Pro won't go away; it just gets bigger and groovier. Now I had all sorts of 'horrible' bits to search for and replace and Livecode didn't do very well (coded way of saying something fairly negative) with searching for phrases that had lines breaks in them. I ended up doing everything in LibreOffice (bloody-minded), which was OK as far as things went, but Wildcards weren't in it. Certainly I would like to be able to search for the following sort of phrase: set the unicodeText of the selected to ((numToChar(*)) (numToChar(*)) (numToChar(2325)) in such a way that I can replace: ((numToChar(22345)) (numToChar(66778)) (numToChar(2325)) with ((numToChar(22345)) (numToChar(66778)) (numToChar()) and ((numToChar(99887)) (numToChar(11223)) (numToChar(2325)) with ((numToChar(99887)) (numToChar(11223)) (numToChar()) that is to say, that the wildcard bits remain unchanged.

Re: How to build webcam application
Björnke to set up a live videostreaming you can use these services (twitch.tv, livestream.com ..) or manage a streaming server by yourself ( ie Wowza). But the point is, how can you have a LiveCode desktop application to show a live video streaming? AFAIK the old QuickTime player can not manage live video streaming nor from Twitch.tv nor from Livestream.com. Am I right? So, at the moment, the only available solution is opening a web page with revBrowser. I think runRev should provide a brand new video player (using HTML5).

Re: The encoding property
Peter Haworth wrote: This is for the next release of my lcStackBrowser plugin. It will include the ability to display and edit properties within the main lcStackBrowser window. As part of that functionality, users can define property groups to include whatever properties they wish. In turn, that is achieved by drag/drop from a list of properties for an object type to a list of properties within each of their property groups they specify. Hope that explains the final goal :-) It does - thanks. At the moment, I am using a similar technique to yours where I start of by getting the keys of the properties than add in a hard coded list of missing properties for the object. That's OK but suffers from the downside that every time a new release of LC comes out with new properties that perhaps is not included in the properties (and there have been quite a few recently), my list is out of date and I would have to put out a new release simply to include the new properties. The issue of synonyms is part of but separate from all that. I have now figured out how to get a list of the synonyms for any given property from Bjornke's db (what an invaluable plugin!), at least to the extent that the information in the dictionary is accurate. I wonder if perhaps you could split the difference, and have your property-checking routine done during development to build a list that's used at runtime. That would keep runtime lean and efficient, and unless you plan on abandoning the utility (which wouldn't make sense of course after putting so much time into it) you'll probably be releasing new versions anyway, so keeping it updated with the engine probably won't need much greater frequency of updates than normal enhancements and bug fixes would require anyway. Either way, as you noted the properties isn't providing what you need and requires some manual trimming anyway. It's just designed for a different purpose, so until we get a function specifically for the needs of IDE builders (I'd love to see the complete properties of obj) some manual work will always be required. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World LiveCode training and consulting: http://www.fourthworld.com Webzine for LiveCode developers: http://www.LiveCodeJournal.com Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/FourthWorldSys ___ 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

I've seen what *looks* like that behavior, until I double-checked and discovered that file name listings returned from the files are not always sorted. Instead, they return the values as known by the OS, which for some file systems often use inode order which may not reflect name sort order. Directories with large numbers of files may be especially prone to this, since the file lists are likely spread out across multiple inodes. Try running the resulting list through the sort command to see if perhaps the files you're looking for are actually there but had not been where you'd expected them. And an extra check might be to see if the number of lines in that list matches what you see in the OS file manager.

I wish to have the server perform a SQL query to a database of file paths, and follow that request with an existence verification to a local drive of that same server. ~Roger ___ 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

AFAIK the file I/O in LC Server is every bit as flexible as in the desktop engine. I often access data in folders above the web root, no prob. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for Desktop, Mobile, and Web ambassa...@fourthworld.comhttp://www.FourthWorld.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

Perfect! I'm working to optimize the verification pass. Thanks Richard. Additionally, I want to pass a list to be queried and verified, instead of one line at a time, passing parameters with GET. Any recommendations on that front? ~Roger On Aug 27, 2013 11:03 PM, Richard Gaskin ambassa...@fourthworld.com wrote: Roger Eller wrote: Are we limited to access only files in the wwwroot?

iOS and the defaultfolder
This works in the simulator but not on the device.. --- Set the defaultfolder to the documents folder --- There is nothing in the result but==the defaultfolder to the documents folder This does work --- Set the defaultfolder to the engine folder --- I can also read/write/delete files in the documents folder. I just can't set the defaultfolder there. Is this an iOS security restriction or a bug? Thanks!

iOS and the defaultfolder
Well, well, well. When one set the default folder to any place in the the documents folder a /Private get prepended to the front of the default folder(but not on the simulator). Although the defaultfolder to the documents folder the defaultfolder is where you want to be to see your apps documents.
