Very nice of you Andre. I hope I can add some new tools soon. BTW, Ken's new
DropTools framework is really a thing of beauty-- reminds me of the rev on
rockets stuff you did awhile back. I suspect of all of us, you've
contributed more free source code than anyone! Thanks :-)

Unfortunately, the word boundaries don't quite work, and I think it's for

Hi Jacque,
That's wrong for unicode, because it will catch one NULL too many, either at
the beginning or the end of the string, depending on whether it is small or big
endian (which depends on the processor that LiveCode is running on).

Hi Slava,
Instead of simply pasting the text into LiveCode, do the following:
set the unicodeText of fld x to the clipboarddata[unicode]
Now you can do this:

end mouseDown
or whatever you
Is there an equivalent to the mouseText, or the mouseChunk, or the

Hi Richmond,
The itemDel can be only one char/byte long. If the useUnicode is true, then
numToChar(32) returns 2 bytes. Hence the error. The docs are correct.

If you can't get revFontLoad to work, you might use the Installer Maker (link

Hi Pierre,

it should be compatible with any LiveCode implementation. The only

Hi Andy,
Currently you pass the required text to be displayed, so the conversion
would be done by your app before feeding the values as a parameter to
ChartMaker. However, I will certainly look into handling date conversion
within the ChartMaker engine as an option.
