Android build executable on test device fails

Testing on an Android device, the "Standalone builder progress" window shows first "Building classes" and then for a brief moment "Building executable", after which an error window reads "Unable to build app for testing: could not open module file". Searched the forums but no mention at all of

Re: Identifying empty lines of text

I wonder if the 202 value would disappear if you did this: put textDecode(the clipboarddata["text"], "utf8") into field 1 I don't know the answer, just putting it out there. Phil Davis On 1/12/18 4:48 PM, David Epstein via use-livecode wrote: I use “the number of words in myString = 0”

Identifying empty lines of text

I use “the number of words in myString = 0” to test whether a line of text appears empty, since I want a line with only space characters to be understood as empty. But a line of text I pasted from elsewhere contained an invisible character whose charToNum value is 202, and this was counted as a

Re: Problem pasting from Livecode to Mac Mail

That is precisely why we are having this conversation. An assumption was made that creating an HTML version of plain text was needed for the clipboard. On Fri, Jan 12, 2018 at 4:51 PM Bob Sneidar via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Non- starter. Can't make assumptions

Re: Problem pasting from Livecode to Mac Mail

Non- starter. Can't make assumptions about the end user's intent. What if what he was copying was SUPPOSED to have double line breaks or carriage returns? The complaint would be that LC was taking liberties with user's data! Bob S > On Jan 12, 2018, at 09:42 , Brian Milby via use-livecode >

Re: Getting datagrid content from other stack in Standalone

The last one is possible. As far as substacks getting moved and breaking references, the Standalone Builder takes that into account I believe. Also, if the stack files are contained in the folder the SB creates for them, I *believe* that the engine will upon failing to find a stack reference,

Re: Getting datagrid content from other stack in Standalone

If the script of an object is running, the stack it belongs to is open. If you reference an object in a closed stack (correct me if I am wrong) LC will load the stack the object belongs to into memory. Bob S > On Jan 12, 2018, at 08:54 , Mike Bonner via use-livecode >

Re: Problem pasting from Livecode to Mac Mail

So there are 2 issues with how LiveCode is handling placing text onto the clipboard: - converting plain text to HTML on the clipboard - using tags for each line break when converting to HTML I’m not sure of the reasoning behind the first issue. I understand wanting to have the native LC format

Re: Getting datagrid content from other stack in Standalone

Would this work with a stack on disk that hasn't been opened yet? Definitely stealing your functions thx. :) Oh, as to the OP, my first thought on why it wasn't working, is that the stack wasn't open (hence the need to address it's on disk location), but another thought occurred to me. I'm

Don't you mean: put the dgdata of grp 1 of CARD 1 OF stack "path/to/dgstack.livecode" into tDataA If you are going to be using full paths for this, I recommend using my fine functions getParentCard() and getParentStack(). function getParentCard pObjectID put offset("card id", pObjectID)

Server-side xml validator anyone ?

Hi list, I have several server-side LC scripts that transform text and data uploaded by end users on web pages into xml to be stored in a database and used later in other web pages or apps. The problem is, despite all the correction scripts I have added, that sometimes the uploaded content

Sorry, forgot to change Subject in previous posting... Hi Richard I found this problem was particularly annoying when trying to extract info from vCards exported from Contacts on the Mac, so I developed a tiny app in LC called vCardClipper. I've put together a web page about this app together
