Re: Accented Characters on PlAtf0rMs?

In MetaCard 2.2 when I tried to port a stack written in French from MacOS to Windows all my accents were changed. Since English has no accents this is not a problem - in English. However every other major language that I know of has accents. (French, Russian, Spanish, Italian... the list is not

Stack Directory?

I have stack with a scores field. I want to write the scores to a text file *in the same folder* Is it possible to get the directory property for a stack, i.e. the folder in which it resides? Anyway, I have a answer folder command, but I want to avoid it... -- Regards, Dominique

RE: Changing File Names from Answer Dialogs

This behavior is not unique to Windows XP or Metacard, it works like this in Windows 2000 as well, and for all apps that use standard file dialogs. I discovered this quite by accident about a week ago, as I accidentally pasted a filename into the wrong place, well, not thinking that the filename

Re: Changing File Names from Answer Dialogs

Actually, this has worked in versions of WIndows going back quite a ways (I think even Win 95 did this to some degree). It's just a facet of the operating system; without rolling your own dialog box (which you *can* do, BTW - all the tools are there to do it), you are stuck with what the OS gives

RE: Stack Directory?

Thanks Richard, I've used the effective keyword before when referencing the backcolor of a stack or object, but I didn't know that substacks didn't return filenames unless effective was used. Thanks for the tip. -Chipp -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL

Re: Stack Directory?

Actually, with MC 2.4.2 and above, you can use regular expressions (yeah, it's the RegEx guy again... ;-) to do this: function AppPath local tPath get matchText(the effective fileName of this stack,(.*\/),tPath) return tPath end AppPath For those of you trying to pick up RegEx, the code
