Now the question/problem is whether users of 'gay' in those areas where the 2 senses are used actually perceive them as 2 senses of the same word (Polysemy) or whether they perceive them as 2 separate words that sound the same (Homonymy) - should they be unaware of the diachronic history of 'gay' they may be inclined to see 'gay' 'gay' as 2 distinct words. Certainly it would be quite difficult to work out the semantic step from 'jolly' to 'homosexual' unless, of course, there was an awareness of the even earlier sense of 'heterosexual looseness'. A cognitive radial category diagram for 'gay' would probably not work as there do not seem to be speech communities that have or had concepts that somehow connected jollity with being homosexual. Neither polysemy nor homonyny exist as external 'things', being psychological categories that came about as there was a perceived need to make language as efficient as possible; polysemy being concerned with efficiency in regard to conceptualisation, homonymy in regard to formality. This is probably more easily understood if we fall back on the ideas of FUNCTION versus FORM.

I tried using replaceText(), but the problem is that it replaces the *entire* text which is 'recognised' by the regex. That would cause problems here.

But the problem is that the 'replaceText' command will identify and replace *everything* in my expression, not just part of it. So, if in this case I ask it to: replaceText( field sourceField, [^0-9]\[, empty) ... it not only deletes the '[', but also the number preceding it. I came across problems with matchChunk, too, but for a different reason. I wanted to use it in a loop, so I could delete the required parts of each match. Unfortunately, even though it was returning 'true' to my regex - it *was* finding matches - it refused to populate my 'positionvars', so it was useless. I ended up writing a simple repeat loop, which seems to have done the trick: repeat with x = number of chars in field sourceField down to 1 if char x of field sourceField is not [ then next repeat if char (x-1) of field sourceField is a number then put _ into char x of field sourceField else put empty into char x of field sourceField end repeat I hope this helps! -- Igor de Oliveira Couto Sydney, Australia ___ 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
Re: [OT] Languages and cultures (was Re: survey)
We should definitively start a new list dedicated to linguistic questions ! Sorry for falling in it too... To come back to the french equivalent of fortnight (quinze jours, quinzaine). I realised it's quite logical, despite the opinion of Francis (or at least it was logical till the sixties when they were 6 working days in the week). If you have two weeks holidays, you are free for fifteen days, counting the sundays before and after the working weeks. The same for huit jours, huitaine. To Richmond: the etymology of french pigs, cochon, is strictly unknown... some people suggest the farmers called them cosh,cosh when feeding them. To Richmond and Jacque: in french, a gay is often called a tante (rather pejorative) - what to do with our poor aunts ? And gai firmly keeps it's jolly meaning, as we are using the english spelling for the other meaning.

connotations. But maybe that is just here in Australia.
Not just limited to Australia, I've heard that usage on South Park for
years. I've no idea if South Park was creating or following a trend.
Clearly we've now lost the use of that charming little word. Although
in all truth, I think homos had been feeling 'gay' was a rather 70s
word and was now as unfashionable as flared corduroy trousers. (Hang
on, I think they came back in and went out again a few years ago...)
Anyway, homos have got a variety of other epithets (hostile and/or
clinical) by which they can described. Now that the majority of
people describe themselves as 'straight' or 'heterosexual', we are in
a different world from the late 1960s when gay people (along with
black people) started to declare terms they wanted the majority to use
to describe these minorities. I still have some old manifestos of the
Gay Liberation Front -- they are hilarious. But I think the world I
grew up in was already quite different from the world where those were
written.
Back then straight people would describe themselves as normal i.e.
they didn't have a term for themselves. There's even videos from the
1980s of people being interviewed on the streets of London, and when
asked are you heterosexual they would reply no, I'm married.
Since then we've had metrosexuals, transexuals ('men giving birth'?),
gay coming to mean 'naff''. I doubt there's anyone left in the UK who
doesn't know the difference between heterosexual/homosexual.
Personally I've always thought queer was suitable for gay people --
I've always found people who wanted to be normal to be rather creepy.
Being oneself I can understand, but suppressing individuality to go
with the crowd seems to reduce us to sheep. Mind you, queer would
then become an inclusive term that meant 'those who resist being
normalized'. I'm sure there's more than a few people on this list who
would describe themselves as 'queer'.
Having married a man recently, I certainly feel less than outré than
in my youth.

Hi John, welcome back to xTalk. Despite what you might think (seeing all the options such as web plugin, web server, database connections, video grabber, etc) Rev is fundamentally still HyperCard. If you can dredge up your old knowledge, I'd guess 80% of it is still useful. Of course, that 80% that still applies with Rev is probably only 40% of what can be done with Rev. I don't know if you've looked through the RevOnline Browser that comes installed with Rev. It's 3rd from the right on the standard menu in the IDE. There are various sample stacks - the left-hand list is the categories under which the stacks were submitted. If you have a look under the media category you will see there is a sample of a slideshow stack there. That might give you some ideas. There was also a stack that was being used recently to demonstrate the capabilities of the web plugin comminicating with the server. I believe the code for that stack was freely available, but I can't find any references to it right now. Have you found the User Guide that comes installed with the IDE? Also, under the Resource Center (2nd from right on IDE menu) there is a heading Sample Projects which contains a Multiple Choice Questionaire stack. BTW, I visited Bath for the first time last year.

Mark, I happen to agree with you, objectively speaking—even though I wrote the tool you are praising. We have some improvements to Decoder in the works that will make it even more useful. Since we opened up the tRev API, I'm happy to also report that others are working on plugins to broaden tRev's capabilities. 1. There is a third party modal debugger under construction that will work with tRev (and Rev without tRev). 2. Also under development, a plugin for tRev that will let you write, check syntax, decode and deploy On-Rev CGI scripts.

The menus appear correctly in the OSX menu bar. However, every time I run my app, the main stack window grows in height by a few pixels added to the bottom of the window. This is a cumulative effect so each time the app runs, the the main stack window gets progressively taller. If I manually resize the main stack window then rerun my app, it appears with the height as it was before I manually resized it. I can't find any scripts that would affect the size of the main stack window. The main stack is displayed as a pallette. I'm running rev 4.0 on OSX 10.5. Any clues?

How to enter a time of day
I have a need for users to enter a start and end time of an event and I'm trying to come up with a graphical way for them to do that to ensure that the time is in the correct format. What appeals to me the most is to use some sort of slider that would increment/decrement the time of day in 15 minute intervals. I was hoping the rev slider control would be the answer to it but it only seems to deal with whole numbers on its scale, haven't been able to figure out how to deal with time-based numbers.

Re: How to enter a time of day
use the slider to manipulate the seconds, and convert to time steps on the fly. Don't use the scale of the slider, instead make your own scale alongside. You might find a lookup table faster than conversion. - Stephen Barncard San Francisco http://houseofcubes.com/disco.irev On 20 February 2010 09:12, Peter Haworth p...@mollysrevenge.com wrote: I have a need for users to enter a start and end time of an event and I'm trying to come up with a graphical way for them to do that to ensure that the time is in the correct format.

Re: How to enter a time of day
You may want to take a look at Windows' task scheduler or whatever it is on the platform you are targeting. While it's possible to come up with something better and easier, I usually find that straying from UI paradigms that users are accustomed to can end up causing a lot of needless pain for the developer: annoying bug reports that aren't really bugs and feature requests to make something act normal. If you want something graphical, I'd make the input a selection (like a date picker) or typed in, and perhaps have an analog clock graphic that can indicate to the user potential problems. My 2 cents. Jeff M.

Re: Search / replace
If you want do the search/replace with regex, you can do similar to this.. put replaceText(field Field,(?=\d)\[,-) into tTmp put replaceText(tTmp,(?!\d)\[,empty) into tComplete This does a look behind. First setup the look behind with (?=\d) This will match a digit, but only a digit that is next to the \[ that is outside the parens. Basically, if finds the [ then checks to see if there is a digit to the left. If there is, it does the replace of the [. The first is a positive look behind, meaning it will match if the string in parens exist. The 2nd is a negative look behind that will match for any [ that do NOT have a digit to the left of the [.

Re: How to enter a time of day
Pete, If your app runs exclusively on the Mac you may want to just look at integrating iCal into it with AppleScript and handle it that way... When your app launches or whenever is appropriate, let the user select a calendar file that's exclusive to your app. The user could open it in iCal to adjust things or open it through your app. You could likely then use AppleScript to get various date/times from it to do your tasks. I don't use iCal (much) and have never looked to see what functionality is provided for it through AppleScript. But you may end getting a very win-win out of this: let the user thing awesome! because it just works with iCal and let's you relax and let iCal do most of the heavy lifting in this department. :-) Jeff M.

the files, get URL and Unicode File Names
Dear List Members, I am trying to write a reasonably simple test script, which would iterate through every file in a chosen directory, and give me the md5 checksum for that file. I am coming across a problem, which *may* be related to Unicode, but I'm not certain. The algorithm is like this: * user selects directory * get list of files in directory (using 'the files') * for every file in the list: ** get the file data stream (using 'get URL binfile:...') ** get the checksum The function that gets the datastream using 'get URL' returns 'empty' in case it cannot find the file. I am finding, that when a file has certain accented or foreign characters in its name, 'get URL' is unable to find it - even though it is using the original unmodified string returned by 'the files'... What is most puzzling, is that this does not happen with *every* file that has an international character in it - files with french, spanish, german or even scandinavian characters fly through without a hitch. But if I have a file that has a ĉ (c+circumflex) or ŭ (u+breve) in its name, for instance, it chokes. Am I doing something wrong, or missing something basic? - or did I hit a limitation, or bug? Many thanks for any guidance, -- Igor de Oliveira Couto Sydney, Australia PS - the code in full, for those interested: 1) Make a new Mainstack, and add a field named folderContents, and a button. 2) Put the following into the button's script: on mouseUp answer folder Please select a folder: if it is empty then exit mouseUp local tDefault, tItems put the defaultFolder into tDefault set the defaultFolder to it put empty into field folderContents put the files into tItems repeat for each line xLine in tItems put name= quote xLine quote after field folderContents put checksum= quote fileDigest(the defaultFolder / xLine) quote return after field folderContents end repeat filter field folderContents without empty set the defaultFolder to tDefault end mouseUp function hexDigest pvalue local tRes, tMD5 put md5Digest(pValue) into tMD5 get binaryDecode(H*,tMD5,tRes) return tRes end hexDigest function fileDigest pFile if there is a file pFile then get URL (binfile: pFile) return hexDigest(it) else return empty end if end fileDigest___ 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

Re: the files, get URL and Unicode File Names
Igor, why don't you try and use the detailed files, URLDecode it and parse out the filenames? Perhaps URLDecoding can preserve those characters. just a thought. Not tested. - Stephen Barncard San Francisco http://houseofcubes.com/disco.irev On 20 February 2010 13:48, Igor de Oliveira Couto i...@pixelmedia.com.auwrote: Dear List Members, I am trying to write a reasonably simple test script, which would iterate through every file in a chosen directory, and give me the md5 checksum for that file. I am coming across a problem, which *may* be related to Unicode, but I'm not certain. The algorithm is like this: * user selects directory * get list of files in directory (using 'the files') * for every file in the list: ** get the file data stream (using 'get URL binfile:...') ** get the checksum The function that gets the datastream using 'get URL' returns 'empty' in case it cannot find the file. I am finding, that when a file has certain accented or foreign characters in its name, 'get URL' is unable to find it - even though it is using the original unmodified string returned by 'the files'... What is most puzzling, is that this does not happen with *every* file that has an international character in it - files with french, spanish, german or even scandinavian characters fly through without a hitch. But if I have a file that has a ĉ (c+circumflex) or ŭ (u+breve) in its name, for instance, it chokes. Am I doing something wrong, or missing something basic? - or did I hit a limitation, or bug? Many thanks for any guidance, -- Igor de Oliveira Couto Sydney, Australia PS - the code in full, for those interested: 1) Make a new Mainstack, and add a field named folderContents, and a button. 2) Put the following into the button's script: on mouseUp answer folder Please select a folder: if it is empty then exit mouseUp local tDefault, tItems put the defaultFolder into tDefault set the defaultFolder to it put empty into field folderContents put the files into tItems repeat for each line xLine in tItems put name= quote xLine quote after field folderContents put checksum= quote fileDigest(the defaultFolder / xLine) quote return after field folderContents end repeat filter field folderContents without empty set the defaultFolder to tDefault end mouseUp function hexDigest pvalue local tRes, tMD5 put md5Digest(pValue) into tMD5 get binaryDecode(H*,tMD5,tRes) return tRes end hexDigest function fileDigest pFile if there is a file pFile then get URL (binfile: pFile) return hexDigest(it) else return empty end if end fileDigest___ 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 ___ 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
Re: the files, get URL and Unicode File Names
Dear Stephen, Many thanks for the suggestion: On 21/02/2010, at 4:25 PM, stephen barncard wrote: Igor, why don't you try and use the detailed files, URLDecode it and parse out the filenames? Perhaps URLDecoding can preserve those characters. just a thought. Not tested. I tried it, and it doesn't work. When the file name is a ĉ (c+circumflex), for instance, it encodes it as 2 separate characters: a c and a ^ circumflex. When I URLdecode it, therefore, I end up with a c^. The name of the file is different, and Revolution's functions (get url, there is a file, etc.) cannot find the file... Please do send any more suggestions, though. I really want this to work, and I'll try anything!!! :) Kind Regards, -- Igor de Oliveira Couto Sydney, Australia ___ 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

Thanks Kee. This is simple and clear, and is a great way to do it for the exact reason you gave.

Re: Stack working in MACOS, not in Windows.
thanks for the tips, Jacque and Mark - Stephen Barncard San Francisco http://houseofcubes.com/disco.irev On 20 February 2010 12:45, J. Landman Gay jac...@hyperactivesw.com wrote: stephen barncard wrote: Something is happening between the decoding of the files which are created, and the playing of them. The player code alone works in Windows, so perhaps the decryption is messed up. After you decode the file, try exiting the handler and opening the file and seeing if it will play in a different app. That will at least tell you if the decoding has gone wrong. It isn't clear what kind of encryption you're using but there may be platform differences during decryption. BTW, the dot before a file name will only hide the file on Mac OS X. On Windows it will still be fully visible. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ 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 ___ 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
