Yep. In essence, what we have in this paper is scientific evidence that
reinforces what the folks on this list know so well:
LiveCode is MUCH easier to learn than most alternatives.

Hopefully the O'Reilly book I linked to will help. You might even come

Hi Richard,
I was afraid you’d say that! LOL
I think I’m stuck with JavaScript then according
to what you’ve explained here, and for what I
need to do. A web app just won’t cut it.
Thank you for investing your time into the verbose explanation.
I’m sure other users in addition to myself will
This, yes please.
--There are still use-cases for both numberFormat and format, but there are
so many precedents in other tools for defining display format --in the
object used for display that I think when that's what's needed it would be
the simplest to learn.

Since cognitive load came up in the other thread about numberFormat,
some of you may find this paper very interesting:

I was wondering if anyone has come up with a way to create
“Smart Interactive Fields” in LiveCode server without
having to use javascript?
For example: The user types in a number in the wrong format
into a field and the field is smart enough to interactively tell the
user with a tool-tip or
Wonderful :-)
Can you give me a hint of this line please:
send "select word" && myChunk && "of fld 1" to me in 0 millisecs
Why not just
select word" && myChunk && "of fld 1"

This tells you the number of the selected word:
on mouseUp
put the selectedChunk into myChunk
put word 4 of myChunk into myChunk
put the number of words of char 1 to myChunk of fld 1
send "select word" && myChunk && "of fld 1" to me in 0 millisecs
end mouseUp
Kind regards,
Mark
I have selected some text in a field. I want to convert that to "word xxx
of fld yyy". Any hints on how I do that?
