Re: implementing a search function
If you want to go beyond the first character (press 'm' to get all the 'm…' lines, 'a' to get all the 'ma…' lines rather than all the 'a…' lines) it gets trickier, but several people have worked out versions of it.

Do you want to save changes to this stack ..... ?
Hi from Paris, I have a relatively big stack (4000 cards, 6 Mb). When I run it, most times I just do calculations on card 1 whose results are stored on this card. In this case, from my point of view, there are no mods (although I agree that SOME fields on card 1 have changed, but I don't want to save the stack). Sometimes I add data cards, and so I do want to save the stack on exit. You can quit a stack in three ways, by (a) executing a close stack command, (b) by clicking top left (Mac), or (c) by quitting Revolution. Obviously, if I use methods (a) or (b), and answer No to the save request, when I open the stack again in the SAME Revolution session, any mods I made are there, because the stack is still in memory. If I use methods (a) or (b) with no save, and then quit Revolution, I lose my mods. I can go with that - it seems perfectly normal. Questions : 1 - Under what conditions does Revolution ask me the question Do you want to save the changes , or more simply, what constitutes a change ? The answer once seemed clear to me, but maybe there are things I don't know ! As an example, if I change the contents of a field, I get the request to save, but if I change the labels from English to French (by buttons), I don't get the request to save. Yet I made modifications to the stack ! And when I execute the stack again, label modifications have been lost. Curiouser and Curiouser ! 2 - Are the conditions the same under Stack Runner ? And the most important question : 3 - If I consider that I have made no changes, and Revolution doesn't agree, can I bypass the Do you want to save? request (maybe there is a gREV global that I can tinker with) ? ASSUMING the answer to question (3) is YES, I want to handle the save problem myself in the Stack Script : global IveModifiedTheStack on newCard -- I call newCard in a main-line script. create card put 1 into IveModifiedThe Stack end newCard on closeStack if IveModifiedTheStack = 1 then save this stack -- otherwise DON'T save ! end closeStack I tried using saveStackRequest and not passing it, but this doesn't appear to work, and it appears to be called AFTER the Revolution Do you want to save question, thus defeating the object : on saveStackRequest global IveModifiedTheStack if IveModifiedTheStack ≠ 1 then exit saveStackRequest pass saveStackRequest -- Leave Revolution to decide. end saveStackRequest Is this the correct way to attack the problem (I hope all this is clear to you guys) ?

Re: Counting Chars By ASCII Part 2
I've come up with this: on anotherOne put fld 1 into tString repeat with n = 1 to 30 if (n = 10 AND n =12) OR n = 29 then next repeat put n tab charCount(n,tString) cr after tList end repeat put tList into fld chars end anotherOne function charCount n,tString put length(tString) into oLen replace numToChar(n) with empty in tString return oLen - length(tString) end charCount Of course this won't find chars 255, but then I have a question - if you insert set the useUnicode to true at the beginning of it, it still works, however if you do the same with your handler, on my system, it takes four time longer, and produces no result. Without the useUnicode setting, surely we're only able to count chars with an ascii value = 255...or have I misunderstood this ascii 1-byte, 2- byte stuff?

Hi -- Any hints on recovering a corrupted Rev file? We're using 2.6 on Mac OS 10.4.3 and saving files to a Sun workstation that emulates a Mac server by using a program called xinet. Anyway, when a student's quota is exceeded on the server, there is no error message when his RR stack is saved; however it is corrupt when the student tries to open the stack the next day. By corrupt, I mean that RR won't even begin to open it. One of my students just lost a couple of weeks of work. I can use vi or emacs to directly edit the RR file if I know what to go and fix.

Re: Counting Chars By ASCII Part 2
Exactly why I wondered... from the Docs: If the useUnicode property is set to true, the numToChar function returns a double-byte character. If the useUnicode is false and you specify an ASCIIValue greater than 255, the numToChar function returns the character corresponding to the ASCIIValue mod 256. So if we're dealing with unicode text, and really need to count the instances of each character outside of the 0 - 255 range, then we've got a real lot of tests to do since we have to consider values up to 65535... my 0 - 255 test took a couple of seconds on about 3 megabytes of data, testing for only 27 characters...Todd may be taking some longish coffee breaks!

strange menu behavior
I've found what I think is a bug of some kind, but I wanted to ask here to see if someone else has run into anything like this, and to see if maybe it's something I'm doing. I've got an application that uses a splash screen method. The main stack opens and the user has to enter his password to continue. This main stack has its own menu, which includes File - Quit with Ctrl-Q set as the shortcut. After entering a password and logging in successfully, another stack opens. This stack has its own menu, which also includes File - Quit with Ctrl-Q as its shortcut. When hitting ctrl-Q from this second stack, it should close the stack and return to the main login screen. Unfortunately, it's exiting the application completely. I believe what's happening is hitting ctrl-Q in the second stack is triggering the menu item in the first stack, which *is* supposed to exit the application completely. I've found that if I access the menu in the second stack by just clicking File, then ctrl-Q works correctly. It's almost as if the menu in the second stack is not loading or coming to the front or whatever until it is accessed in some way with an actual click of the mouse. Anyone have any ideas? Have I found a bug of some kind, or could there possibly be something I'm doing?

Re: Counting Chars by ASCI Values
Jim's solution seems the best, but if the data is big, then the 'number of items in (textStr null)' seems to slow things down - I guess that textStr is being copied with the null char appended, and if it's big, that's a lot of work. I think it's therefore more efficient to test for char -1 of textStr being the char tested for, and if it is, then add 1 to the count. Also, shouldn't the count be 'the number of items in textStr -1? so I ended up with this: on yetAnotherWay put fld 1 into tString repeat with n = 1 to 30 if (n = 10 AND n =12) OR n = 29 then next repeat set the itemDelimiter to numToChar(n) put the number of items in tString -1 into tCount if char -1 of tString is numToChar(n) then add 1 to tCount put n tab tCount cr after tList end repeat put tList into fld chars end yetAnotherWay this was just about twice as fast as textStr null with 3 megabytes of data.

ask dialog removes selectedChunk in field

Re: Pie Chart Algorithms?
Doing that only increased the size the arc line that was drawn. The two radius lines from the center out to the end of the arc, forming the pie did not always appear, sometimes yes, sometimes no... but by setting the opaque on create oval to true then the background color appears whether or not the radius lines show or not.. so that works. I have to test some more. possible the opaque property is turning the radius lines off and on as well... Now my next challenge is to get a list of points on the circumference of any circle. I checked the mailing lists and can't find the algorithm or sample script that would do this. If anyone has the professional algorithm to do this please do post it... /H's chart stack is protected... I'm working with setting a single radius at 3 o'clock and rotating this through 90 degrees using revRotatePoly and logging the end point on 90 iterations of 1 degree. And then I think I can use the relative values of this quadrant for the other three quadrants. But, I think this must be horrible hack and that someone has a much cleaner way to get this list of pioints -- some very cool math function... ON mouseUp put (the right of grc BaseCircle , the height of grc BaseCircle/2+the top of grc BaseCircle) into tVariablePosition put 1 into tIncrement set the points of grc Line to (the loc of grc baseCircle, tVariablePosition) put line 2 of the points of grc line into tLoc repeat 90 times put tLoc cr after fld props ## log the end point on each iteration set the points of grc Line to (the loc of grc baseCircle, tVariablePosition) revRotatePoly the long id of grc line,tIncrement put tIncrement +1 into tIncrement put line 2 of the points of grc line into tLoc set the loc of grc littleBall to tLoc end repeat END mouseup result 628,364 (3 o'clock on this particular circle) 626,368 626,372 626,376 626,380 626,384 626,390 etc (90 lines of such points... from 3 o'clock to 6 o'clock -- straight down) OK set this aside for a while... it's something to work on when the brain needs a break from real work on a rainy day off... Hopefully someone will come to my rescue by the time I try to carry this forward. And a related issue: move grc ball to the points of grc oval doesn't do anything... oval's don't have any points (?) doesn't make sense to me: any line object on a screen is a series of pixels... how can it not have points?

If the last char of a string is the asciiChar, then the number of items will be one less than the true count, however, if null is appended, the count will be equal to the true count. If Todd's desired solution is to do just a count (but on more than one asciiChar) then arrays+keys may be the best overall. In addition, if the locations of the chars are important, that is another story (eg. hiliting instances) Good work, Mark.

Re: Counting Chars by ASCI Values
In this case, we're counting delimiters - not items, so it I'm sure it should be the number of items -1, unless we have a trailing delimiter, when the item count and delimiter count are the same, hence the need for null or testing the last char. This is how it seems to work on my setup (rev 2.7, Mac OS X): 1,2,3 = 3 items, 2 delimiters ,1,2,3 = 4 items (one empty), 3 delimiters 1,2,3, = 3 items, 3 delimiters - Rev doesn't count the implied empy item at the end.

Is there some trick to the path to use for this in Windows? Thanks, Karen Hi Karen, Glad to hear you have found a way to get revXML into working order -- let's hope the standalone builder gets fixed in 2.7.1 so nobody else has to work around it. As for the report formats: when you refer to a file using a relative path, the Rev engine starts to search from the 'defaultFolder' -- when you fire up the Rev IDE, this is the folder where the Rev application resides. In your standalone, it refers to the folder where your standalone resides -- but there's a twist: on Windows, this is the same directory as where the .exe file lives ; but as MacOSX applications are actually folders themselves (bundles of files), the 'defaultFolder' points to the folder _inside_ the bundle where the actual executable file is hidden. If your reports live in a subdirectory next to the .app bundle, you have two options: change the defaultFolder, or refer to these files by combining the .app bundle location and the relative location of your report format files. A popular cross-platform function to get the appropriate path was written by Richard Gaskin: ## function AppPath put the filename of this stack into tPath set the itemdel to / If (IsOSX()) then get offset(.app/Contents/MacOS/, tPath) if it 0 then -- 2.4.3 or later delete char it to len(tPath) of tPath end if end if delete last item of tPath return tPath / end AppPath function IsOSX if the platform is not MacOS then return false get the systemversion set the itemdel to . if item 1 of it = 10 then return true return false end IsOSX ## (for a more complete explanation, go to: http://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/revolution/tips/file008.htm) So, armed with the function above, you can change the path to the report layout file as follows: ## on mouseUp -- prep all the variables put AppPath() reports/myreport.qrl \ into tLayoutPath put MyDataStack into tStackName put true into tPreviewFlag put all into tCardRange -- and print the data stack qrtReports_PrintReportFromStack \ tLayoutPath,tStackName,tPreviewFlag,tCardRange end mouseUp ## Hope this helped, Jan Schenkel.

Re: Do you want to save changes to this stack ..... ?
Francis Nugent Dixon wrote: Questions : 1 - Under what conditions does Revolution ask me the question Do you want to save the changes , or more simply, what constitutes a change ? The answer once seemed clear to me, but maybe there are things I don't know ! As an example, if I change the contents of a field, I get the request to save, but if I change the labels from English to French (by buttons), I don't get the request to save. Yet I made modifications to the stack ! And when I execute the stack again, label modifications have been lost. Curiouser and Curiouser ! The state of the stack is tracked by the IDE, not by the engine. Revolution, in general, considers a change to be anything you do manually that alters the content of the stack: creating an object, changing the text of a field by typing into it, changing an object's properties by using the inspector, etc. Changes that your own scripts make to a stack are not caught by the IDE. Therefore, if you change the label in the inspector, Rev notices. If you change the label from a script in a button, Rev does not notice. In other words, if any of your own scripts make changes, the IDE cannot see them. The engine doesn't pay attention to changes; only the IDE does that. 2 - Are the conditions the same under Stack Runner ? No. StackRunner has no change-tracking in it at all. It won't notice any changes you make, whether they are manual or scripted, and it never asks if you want to save. And the most important question : 3 - If I consider that I have made no changes, and Revolution doesn't agree, can I bypass the Do you want to save? request (maybe there is a gREV global that I can tinker with) ? There probably is a global or a property, but I don't know offhand what it is called. Someone else may have looked into it.

Re: Paypal Solution?
Hi Ben, I had the impression that once you have a paypal vendor account you would just need to provide a button to open a URL straight to your payment page. Then you maintain a list of the product (that are in your rev stack) at your paypal vendor page. Maybe there is more to it thaan I think...

Re: repeat repeat
Hi Liam, Assuming that your original code does not cause any errors, the following should work, although I didn't test it: on mouseUp repeat for each item myLabel in fld seatNo repeat with x = 1 to the number of buttons if myLabel is the label of btn x then set the backgroundColor of btn x to red end if end repeat end repeat end mouseUp Instead of item myLabel you could also use line myLabel.

Re: repeat repeat
on mouseUp put fld seatNo into tseatNo repeat for each line y in tSeatNo repeat with x = 1 to the number of buttons if y = the label of button x then set the backgroundcolor of button x to y end if end repeat end repeat end mouseUp Something like the above might work. Hope this helps.

Re: repeat repeat
If speed matters, you could avoid nesting the loops. on mouseUp repeat with i = 1 to number of buttons put i into tArray[the label of button i] end repeat repeat for each item tSeatNo in field seatNo set the backgroundColor of button tArray[tSeatNo] to red end repeat end mouseUp -- Dick On 3/1/06 4:54 PM, Mark Schonewille [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Liam, Assuming that your original code does not cause any errors, the following should work, although I didn't test it: on mouseUp repeat for each item myLabel in fld seatNo repeat with x = 1 to the number of buttons if myLabel is the label of btn x then set the backgroundColor of btn x to red end if end repeat end repeat end mouseUp Instead of item myLabel you could also use line myLabel.

Re: strange menu behavior
Chris Sheffield wrote: I've found what I think is a bug of some kind, but I wanted to ask here to see if someone else has run into anything like this, and to see if maybe it's something I'm doing. I've got an application that uses a splash screen method. The main stack opens and the user has to enter his password to continue. This main stack has its own menu, which includes File - Quit with Ctrl-Q set as the shortcut. After entering a password and logging in successfully, another stack opens. This stack has its own menu, which also includes File - Quit with Ctrl-Q as its shortcut. When hitting ctrl-Q from this second stack, it should close the stack and return to the main login screen. Unfortunately, it's exiting the application completely. I believe what's happening is hitting ctrl-Q in the second stack is triggering the menu item in the first stack, which *is* supposed to exit the application completely. I've found that if I access the menu in the second stack by just clicking File, then ctrl-Q works correctly. It's almost as if the menu in the second stack is not loading or coming to the front or whatever until it is accessed in some way with an actual click of the mouse. Anyone have any ideas? Have I found a bug of some kind, or could there possibly be something I'm doing? Depending on your setup, it might be a message hierarchy thing. On Macs, the menubar property of a stack puts the menu into the OS menu space and keyboard shortcuts are sent there first. There isn't any other menu available, since only one can be active at a time. Whatever menu group a stack contains will get first crack at keyboard events. On Windows there is no global menu bar, and the menu functions as a group on the card. Keyboard events are sent to the card and, if the stack is a substack, the event passes through to the main stack. If your menu group in the main stack has backgroundBehavior set to true, but the menu group on the substack does not, then the main stack's menu group would catch the event. Check to see if your substack's menu group has backgroundBehavior set to true. If it does then maybe you did find a bug. One workaround would be for your quit handler to check whether the mainstack was the topstack, and only quit if it is. One extra piece of information is that I am changing the menu items of this File menu in the preOpenStack handler of the second stack, dependent on a couple different conditions. Not sure if that would have anything to do with it or not. This problem only occurs under Windows, btw. On the Mac the behavior is exactly how I want it. Any help would be appreciated.

This doesn't really answer your problem, but as a user-interface issue, if I selected Quit or pressed Ctrl-Q, I would expect the app to quit. Anything else would feel wrong. How about having a Logout menu item instead as this would seem to be a better indication of the function of that particular menu item?

Re: Counting Chars By ASCII Part 2
Sorry for not getting back to answer questions. I am moving my office and I cut the tip of my index finger off. Just a little bit of the tip. But it makes typing very difficult :) Here are the answers to a couple of questions... My script can do 25 mb in a minute or two, but I had not been using unicode set to true, which I will need to do. I want to display the list of these bad characters, then I will want to remove them. I am not sure if I need to deal with character higher then 255. I am trying to clean potentially corrupt data from database records. I think chars greater then 255 will be possible, and bad. So If they are there I want to zap them. Thanks for all the help :) Todd -- Todd Geist __ g e i s t i n t e r a c t i v e ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
