Re: html to pure text

[Phil Davis]

This is also a good way to make sure 'entity' chars display correctly in the 
field of a cross-platform Rev app regardless of the platform. Set up the field 
text on your favorite platform, store the htmlText of the field in a custom 
property; then upon openStack (or whatever your trigger is) set the htmlText of 
the field to what's in the custom prop. This bypasses the need for using 
macToIso() and isoToMac() functions.

I tried the above and played around a bit and all it did is created a file
in my RR folder named "modem\" and put the above into it.
What I understand is that it needs to be located the modem port or file in
order to do that

That's right. But don't be misled by thinking this is a special  
feature of stacks that are downloaded by "load url". You can "go" to  
any stack whose file data is held in any kind of "data container"  
such as a variable, custom property or url. The following will work too:


on mouseUp
  answer file ""
  if it is not empty then
put url ("binfile:" & it) into tStackData
go tStackData
  end if
end mouseUp

As any data retrieved by "load url" is held in a cache, and as  
subsequent calls using "get url" will retrieve the data from the  
cache, using "go url "http://whatever/whatever.rev"; is just taking  
advantage of the above feature. (What I'm trying to say is that "load/ 
get url" wasn't designed with the idea of opening stacks in mind. The  
ability to do that is just a consequence of an already existing  
feature.)




The other thing I cannot figure out is how to find out the name of  
the file

in the cache


Do you mean the name of the file, or the name of the stack? The  
cachedUrls() function will return of the currently cached URLs. I  
don't know of a straightforward way to get the name of a stack in the  
url cache. Possible ways are to "toplevel" the url and then  
immediately get the name of the topStack, or write the url to a local  
file and get the stack name from the file.



(and where the cache is).


It's just a local script variable in the libUrl script.


 It would be
nice to store the cache somewhere permanent and take advantage of  
the asynch

load.


You could use libUrlDownloadToFile to do an asynchronous load  
directly to a file instead of the cache. Or in the callback message  
for load, save the url to a local file. For example:


load url myUrl with message "loaded"

on loaded pUrl, pStatus
  if pStatus = "cached" then
put url pUrl into url ("binfile:" & pathToLocalFile)
  end if
  unload url pUrl
end loaded

Re: Printing question

[Dan Shafer]

Charles,

While it's a little hard for me to be sure what you're trying to do here, I
think I get it. At least this should get you headed in the right direction.

Faced with the task I think you're asking about, I'd do the following:

1. Lock the screen
2.  Hide the appropriate elements on each of the cards to be printed. (You
can use "hide button 1 of card 43" for example without navigating to the
card in question.
3.  Use open printing to set up a batch print job.
4.  Order the printing of the three cards in a loop or just by separate
print commands
5.  Close printing to force the queue to print.
6.  Show the hidden controls
7.  Unlock the screen if necessary

Make sense?
Dan

Not sure if you have the right syntax here. Should it be looking relevant to 
the StackRunner path or the actual stack path (which may be different). 
Anyway, following your example you would want to drop the leading "/"

try:

I had studied thoroughly the database library of Revolution and the

Unfortunately I became aware of it, when I worked some time at

Now I use revDataFromQuery too and hope I will be more successful.

Hi,

I need a small lesson in using database:

1. I created a db (using SQLite3) with several fields. One of them
is a boolean field. It is corresponding to a checkbox button in the
card of my stack. Only one record of the database is displayed on
the card.

2. I built a query that selects some of the records of my db and
sorts them by some fields.

3. With a forward and backward button >revdb_movenext(recordSetID)<
and >revdb_moveprev(recordSetID)< I navigate through the records of
the recordSet.

4. With a script >set the hilite of btn "checkbox" to
revdb_columnbynumber(recordSetID,5)< I display the database fields
of the actual record in the fields of my card.

5. Then I wrote a script for the checkbox button >revdb_execute
(recordSetID,tSQL)< with tSQL like: >UPDATE my_db SET checkbox =
"true"  < and so on. I tested it with the SQLite Database
Browser: the changes have been saved.

6. When I use my forward and backward button, to switch to the next
record and then back to the changed record I do not see the change
in my field or in my special case, the checkbox is not hilited.

7. When I close the current cursor (recordSet) and make a new query
the checkbox is hilited.

I learned that the UPDATE-script changes the database but it do not
change the cursor (recordSet).
But the forward/backward button do not display the content of the
database but the content of the current cursor (recordSet).

- How can I get the content of the database?
- Do I have to make a new query after every change of fields?
- Or is it better to use the revdb_query funktion only to get a
sorted list of primary keys of the wanted records and to use the
revdb_querylist funktion to display the content of the db fields on
the card?

I am rather confused.

And Dave has demonstrated EXACTLY my problem with this. The simple fact
is,
I am creating grouped widgets, which I have differently named components
within, which I would like to be able to address.



I have gone through using names (the problem you have now) - then ids (don"t
work when you copy the object to another stack = new id, - id indexes
automatically updated - a pain - and at the moment I use long ids and
getprop handlers - which seems to be working OK. I am not quite sure hw to
use simple names at the moment - my inclination is to leave this up to the
user and allow them to rename them as they see fit to make it easy for them
to use the components in a natural way - the trick is then to have a "meta"
way to refer to the "views" and their classes.

Mark, your example also demonstrates the power of same named instances of

object. I guess it all boils down to each of us trying our best to create
reusable grouped components, each with the same codebase. A most difficult
task.



I have  a library of components I call views and a way of automatically
keeping  an index of all instances of  the views so that they can then be
all updated . I use newgroup and deletegroup messages  and search down
througn the groups for nested compnents.

For instance, take altFldHeader which creates column headers for fields.

( go URL "http://www.gadgetplugins.com/altplugins/altFldHeader.rev"; )

While it's been stable now for years, modifying old altFldHeaders still is
a
problem as each instance has all of the code embedded in the group. The
same
is true for many of my so called 'objects.' A benefit of this approach is
it's easy to do exception programming and track code as well with
everything
being neatly packaged in a group. A big drawback is when you want to
modify
the codebase, you have to replace each group, especially if you end up
adding a new control.



If you are looking at this Chipp - I'd appreciate some feedback on the way I
am doing it _ I've got a copy of altFldHeader  as a view that I made a while
back now as a test on principle.


Separating the 'object' into a GUI library group and a background library

has it's own set of problems as well. You need to carefully track what
libraries are still being used. For instanec, they have to be inited from
a
startup handler, so now you have at the minimum 3 different places for
custom object 'pieces': the library stack script, the GUI control group,
and
a piece of init code in startup.



At the moment "views" (the GUI control group) can use libraries - and
therefore have a dependency property for this. I think the only way is to
have a global database of keeping track of the connections such as these and
using system events to ensure they are kept up to date. That is a "model" of
these connections kept in memory.



You also need to be very careful using 'the
target' and if you have other system handlers, you'll need to make sure
they
don't interfere, as they're called ALL THE TIME, instead of only when
needed. I'm not crazy about this approach, unless you're coding something
like libURL



A naming convention like uRIP is the only way to go here at the moment for
libraries - I use over 20 libraries at the moment and have renamed all the
handlers (nearly) to fit the naming convention. I am intrigued at the moment
by how useful naming conventions are - as they also allow scripts to
auto-magically use the names to refer to other properties - I picked this up
from the MVC frameworks like RubyOnRails. For instance in you have a
property like "view_Colour" a script can automatically look for a property
called "view_Colours" to draw a menu or check for a legal value.

Indeed. I've resorted to using the long id of objects in order to sort
things out. This mostly works, as long as you keep things dynamic so
you don't get stuck with referring to an object that has since been
placed inside another group.

That's actually quite clever. It wouldn't have occured to me to use
the object name that way. Of course, you're cheating by doing things
the Right Way: using the id of the object to generate a unique

just as easily have set a custom property and said

switch (the uTagType of grp id tTargetID)

cards that I want to print. Each card has a button that has to be  
hidden and one card has a group three radio buttons that have to be  
hidden. I am using lock screen and unlock screen with the hide and  
show commands to hide the buttons and radio buttons. Here is my  
question, how do I incorporate printing each card with different  
elements to be hidden and shown in the printing script that is in one  
print button?

Yep for the second argument to the matchText() function, you need to  
construct the regular expression so that it contains "^" as the first  
character, followed by the contents of your variable, followed by the  
"$" character.  In RR you can concatenate strings with the "&"  
operator, so you could do something like this for your second argument:


"^ & tword & "$"

For your first argument, you would just your tword1 by itself.  If  
you put it in quotes like in your example, you are matching the  
literal string "tword1".

Yep - this has bothered me for a long time, too. I'd certainly  
support
a referendum to disallow objects with the same name, but I'm  
afraid it

would break backward compatibility. VB supports object instancing in
the form of group "America"[2], but I don't care much for the syntax.
But the same-named object thing can sometimes be used to advantage.  
Consider this:


on mouseUp
  put the groupIDs of this cd into tGroupList
  repeat for each line tTargetID in tGroupList
switch (short name of grp id tTargetID)
case "Section"
  doSectionStuff tTargetID
  break
case "Page"
  doPageStuff tTargetID
  break
case "Chapter"
  doChapterStuff tTargetID
  break
end switch
  end repeat
end mouseUp



I use Phil's suggested strategy - of having multiple objects with the  
same name, and using the name as a kind of visible and easily  
scriptable 'type' property - all the time. I find it a great  
convenience. In addition, when I deploy compound objects that I want  
to update and refine (like Chipp's AltFldHeader), I append a suffix  
to the control name of each instance, e.g. MyComplexGroup_1, and  
update the groups with a utility script that locates and replaces all  
the groups in a project stack. The tricky part was getting the layer  
right, preserving the size, and transferring custom properties. But  
now that the work is done, I just click a button in the stack where I  
develop the group and presto! all instances are updated.


It does take a bit of discipline though, to be strict about naming.

I too long for the day when we have real custom controls!

Re: altFont etc.

[Klaus Major]

Hi Bill,


Klaus,
I just had a crash with Rev on Windows and the appropriate  
crashlog  file

is a "*.DMP" file of more than 12 (twelve!) MB!!!???
Is this the file I am supposed to attach to my bugzilla, ehm "Rev   
quality

center" report?
Yes. You probably have your Rev crash report setting set to  
"Medium" which
is why it's giving you such a big file. (No wonder they didn't  
include a
"Large" option!) At the small setting, I'm finding my crash files  
to be

about 50K in size.


I see, thanks!


As step 8 of the "create a new report" instructions say:
"You can supply a URL to large files (>500K) such as sample stacks and
detailed crash logs."

This is because you cannot "attach" a file larger than that (i.e.:  
upload it
directly) to the Quality Control Center. Of course, I would  
compress the

file to a .zip archive before putting it on your server.


OK, the bug is reproducable, so I will set the crash setting to small  
and let it crash again :-)

Robert you just need to add a bit to the regular expression part to  
tell it that you want to match the entire string.

For example:

matchText("record_id","^record_id$")  -- returns true

But

matchText("orig_record_id","^record_id$")  -- returns false

The "^" at the start of the regex binds whatever follows to the very  
beginning of the string. The "$" at the end of the regex binds  
whatever comes before it to the very end of the string.

Can't you name your groups "America[1]" and so on? If you need to make it 
easier to process with chunk expressions, you could name them "America 1" 
and use word 1, word 2.

Scott,

Actually when I was trying this stuff out I got an error,

Script compile error:
Error description: Function: missing ')'

when using

put exists (btn "UFOs" in grp "America")

from the message box.

Anyway about the original question -- the exists function works if you take 
out the "group" aspect. So I don't think this is a bug.

matchText

[Robert Mann]

I was using the following to match text

matchText(tword1,tword)

but I just relized that it is also selecting any strings that have that
pattern, is there a way to only select exact matches?

example

tword1= record_id

tword = record_id

 

matchtext returns

record_id

orig_record_id

 

only want it to return

record_id

 

Thanks

Rob

Richard, if you are still looking for a solution, and it can be Mac only,
have a look at TextEdit. It will open pdf files and is AppleScriptable. It
wont work for all pdfs but if you are working with a 'standard' pdf that
TextEdit will handle then it is easy to get the text into Rev. The company I
work for produces reports in pdf and they are always in the same format that
TextEdit will open and extract 100% of the text, no errors.

Problems can arise if there are columns, tables, or text under images that
is incorrectly places in the body of the text in the TextEdit version.

I am using arrays all the time and do the following when I want to 'delimit'
an array for a variety of reasons.

put userDataArray into pVar
combine tempVar using cr and tab

send "updateLog pVar"


--and on the other end
split pVar using cr and tab
put pVar into userLogArr

Split and combine are very fast in my experience.

Of course you can now purge pVar before sending by:
put userDataArray into pVar
combine tempVar using cr and tab
filter pVar with "*desiredDataRows*"
filter pVar without "*unNeededDataRows*"
send "updateLog pVar"


Another (array.combine + filter) technique is to:

set the itemDel to tab
put tab into t
get dataArray
combine it using cr and tab
filter it with ("*"&t& "toDo" &t&"*")
repeat for each line LNN in it
   --maintenance  task here
  put "done" into item 3 of dataArray[item 1 of LNN]
   
end repeat
--discard (it) since we are done updating
-- assumes "toDo" is in a tab-delim column of the array element

Re: altFont etc.

Hi Chipp,


Hi Klaus,

altFont on Windows installs the font as long as the app is running,  
but then

removes it when it quits. I forget how the Mac works, but I expect the
documentation has the info.


thank you very much for the info, that's what I guessed, but was not  
sure.


Anyone any hint on my other question below?
The 12 MB DMP crashlog file on windows?


best,
Chipp



...
Another question:
I just had a crash with Rev on Windows and the appropriate crashlog
file is a "*.DMP" file of more than 12 (twelve!) MB!!!???

Is this the file I am supposed to attach to my bugzilla, ehm "Rev

Thanks in advance.
