I’ve tried a bunch of things. It’s 80-90% correct, but failing 10-20% of the time due to irregulars isn’t acceptable. I think I have to look into a database table lookup solution, but I’m dreading it. Thanks, Rick > On Mar 21, 2022, at 4:18 PM, Craig Newman via use-livecode > wrote: > >

NVM on this one. Apparently the TextEdit.app application is actually in /System/Applications/ even though there is a TextEdit.app file in /Applications/. Must be a SymLink. Bob S > On Mar 21, 2022, at 16:12 , Bob Sneidar wrote: > > Also the launch command is not working with the TextEdit

Such cases are rare, certainly, but “queue” comes to mind. I am sure that a vowel parsing routine will be reasonably accurate, but not perfect, as per the previous example. A quick search did not turn up any “list of all words and their syllable count”, but there still might be one. One site

“miaou” has 4 consecutive vowels so I’m not surprised it has 2 syllables. That may be a rule. The average person uses about 20,000 words on a regular basis. They know about 40,000 visually. It’s estimated there are about 1.25 million english words, but a lot of those are scientific terms.

I've seen this occasionally, where the mainstack is removed but the substacks are still in the list of available stacks. I think the IDE list of stacks in memory isn't updated correctly unless all substacks are marked as destroyed. At least, that's what it looks like. On 3/21/22 6:46 AM,

I would think one would need a database that maps all words with the number of syllables in those words. I am sure some sort of algorithm would do a creditable job, but I bet it would not do a perfect job. For example, and embedded “eau” is usually one syllable, but a word such as “miaou” is

Thanks, Dick! I’ll play with that and see how I get on. The filter is in a loop which mostly uses simple strings, so presumably I would need to separate any regex filters into a separate loop using 'with regex'. I have also learned that this is called “alternation”. Didn’t know that, so now
