THANKS, Jacque. :-) I can't believe HOW-MUCH work you have done on this, for me. WOW! You are truly One-of-a-kind!, Jacque. The Spirit-of-HyperCard still inhabits you! ;-) It's like The Force, only BETTER! ;-) P.S.: As it does with Brian Yennie, as well. :) I'm still hoping for a HACK (e.g.

Use Valentina with MetaCard 2.5 ?

2008-12-19 Thread Alain Farmer
Hello y'all, Is it possible to use Valentina with MetaCard 2.5 ? Or does it necessarily *require* Runtime Revolution ? N.B.: *not* even 2.6 .. it *has* to be for 2.5 .. because version 2.5 is what I got *and* I don't want to upgrade unless it's strictly necessary. Thanks y'all,

Hi Ken andf y'all, Alain, one caveat on using Valentina is whether the *current* Valentina will work with MC 2.5; you may need to find acquire an older version for it to work. You should contact Ruslan Zasukhin at Paradigmasoft to find out for sure. Thanks for the tip. I already have, and

Hi Richmond Mathewson and y'all, I had Metacard 4 up and running with a dataGrid yesterday night. So.. how was it? Did it work? Is it HOT? On a similar note, what do y'all think of the REVLET feature ? Has anyone used it? Did it work? Is it HOT? Specifically: Which UserLevel does a

Hello. :) I have been using MetaCard 2.5 for over a decade now, and, with some free time on my hands, I was wondering what RunRev was up to these days. I must say.. I am impressed! Particularly with all of the new [web] features: * save stack as revlet and deploy-to-web ; * free downloadable

Best solution for this would be a GREP pattern. :) Example: .*([0-9]+).* PS: use metacard's replaceText syntax. Al replace (Size: 100ml; ) with 100 in fld Product But you have different 'size' values. This removes the non-numeric characters...   set the itemDel to TAB   repeat
