Hello,
I’ve a card with a scrolling list field. On iOS, the user can scroll the field
(with native scroller) and then select (hilite) a line like expected.
On Android, as soon as you touch the field, there is an hilitedline and then
the scroll. It’s not really expected and nice.
Is there a
Thanks Richard for your help. Unfortunately, using keyboard arrow keys may
hilite a line but it does not put a value associated with the line into an
input field.

That should be happening automatically whenever the field has focus.

I think that as long as you control the string that is passed to merge you
should be fine. But if the user were able to directly influence the string
that is passed to merge, then they certainly could inject something.

I just had a thought while pondering some code from another thread. I have
done things like put merge("This is a random number: [[random(tNum)]]")
Since merge can do what do can, is there a way this method could be taken
advantage of using an injection type of attack? I'm thinking the answer

Hi Folks
Just to clarify as I have looked into this.
Android SDK itself requires you to install Java 8 max. So while we have a bug
about this in our db it’s not really fixable by us. We do have some ideas about
presenting dialogs if you have the wrong one installed though. Note this mainly
Thanks for the tip, and clarification.

Yes, but you found more utility than I was thinking of. My thing is that when
tracing/debugging, I need to see what a function returns, and I can only do
that if I put the returned value or it or the result into a variable of some
sort.

If you mean using merge inside the function, I guess one could do the merge
beforehand and pass it in as a parameter, or alternatively do the merge in
the function and return the generated url string as part of the returned
value. IE change it like so..

I have a development menu which has, among other things a command that simply
sets the loc of the top stack to the screenloc. Centers the stack in the

I also have found it necessary to record the rect and loc of the stack on close

Again, this is why I don't like to nest functions. You cannot tell what the
function returned without pulling it apart.

Glad it worked. If it turns out there is a reason not to use trueword and

Slightly cleaned up, and adjusted to empty tPair after a match. (on the

jsontoarray returns an array, you'll have to dig through the array to find
where pieces of information reside, but it pretty straightforward after you
poke around.
For example.. If you instead do this..
put jsontoarray(tResult) into tArray
you have an array variable named tArray.
If you-- put
Try this..
on mouseup
local tCharOffset
--set the text of field 1 to the text of field 1
put the text of field 1 into tText
put "beginning" into tstartword -- string begin
put "ending" into tEndword -- string end
put 1 into tCounter -- tracks current word
repeat for each

I’m a little confused about the requirements. Can the desired text span lines?
If not, it changes things slightly.
Offset is something you can use. Find location of end token. Find location of
first start token. Find location of next start token. If before end token, try
again until after or
If I understand correctly.. If you find the beginning string occurrence,
and then find another beginning string, you want to ignore the first, and
only take strings where beginning and end have no intermediate beginnings?
Like this I mean..

Will this do what you want? (untested)

if char -9 to -1 of L is “skyrider1” then

one way would be to populate a memory database, then query it with LIKE:

Currently Java 9 and 10 are not supported, because of some packages being

This is from something that I’m doing where the user can use the arrow keys to
hilite another line or even scroll the field (my field has hundreds of lines).
Also as a bonus, pressing the enter or return keys on the keyboard will do the
same as clicking on the line.
