Re: applescript in standalones?

I can confirm that the following scripts work as expected in a stand alone application (9.0.1): on mouseUp local tScript put "Display Dialog" && quote & "Hello world" & quote into tScript do tScript as "AppleScript" answer the result -- '{button returned:"OK"}' if you click the OK

Re: Sorting search results - solution needed

I am missing the rules of the game. But in any event I agree that the only way to sort a mixed bag of numbers, punctuation and alpha chars is to pre-parse and sort repeatedly by items, or some other, er, sort of chunk. But I do not see the "hierarchy" among spaces, periods, decimal numbers, etc.

As long as it doesn’t break autocomplete, I think moving the square brackets is a good idea. It makes it more accurate and clear that wildcard is what can be optionally omitted but regex must be included. Thanks, Brian On Oct 23, 2018, 4:54 PM -0500, Monte Goulding via use-livecode , wrote: >

Re: Sorting search results - solution needed

Okay I misunderstood. So were it not for the multiple periods in a single value, you could have sorted numeric by word 1 of each, then resorted alphabetically by word 2 of each. The wrench in the works is the double periods. For this you can write a function that builds a string for a value

Re: Sorting search results - solution needed

Come to think of it no. I didn't notice the items further down in the list with multiple periods. Your problems is very basic: You really have alpha-numeric data, which you are trying to sort numerically. It's a contradiction in terms. Looking at the nature of your data, and assuming your data

Is there a way to start/open the "Project Browser" (from the main LC Tools menu) using a script command for LC v8 and above? It used to be (possibly v7 or before) that the stack retained the "state" of the Project Browser and would automatically display it when a stack was opened if the stack
