Re: revCopyFile
The advantages derive from the fact that LiveCode isn't doing the actual copying with revCopyFile -- the Finder is. For completeness, the same advantage applies to using a shell command. You don't get a progress dialog though. Okay, I just did a quick one-off test with interface sounds off. For thirty files that were each about 70kb, using a shell command was about 3x faster than using revCopyFile. That's without taking advantage of the ability to move and rename in one step with a shell command. If that's what you're doing, the advantage would be even greater.

You pass the parameter in the URL using a name=value pair, like http://kweto.com/receiveData.irev?month=Jan2012 or http://kweto.com/receiveData.irev?day=12month=Jan2012 Note that if you are passing this from a script, you should URLencode the value before passing it put URLencode(mydata) into temp get URL (http//kweto.com/receiveData.irev?keyname= temp) into myreturnvalue Within the itev script, you access the keyname value pairs form the_GET array, put $_GET[month into tMonth put URLdecode( $_GET[keyname] ) into tData -- Alex.

I then read the data again on the iPad, and I get the original copy of the data! The same thing happens even if I alter the data on the server from the iPad its self! To read the data, I am using a simple put: put decompress(url myFilePath) into tMyData I can write to the server without issue. Using a simple put, I can write the data to the server without issue. I have verified this is working. However, re-reading the data returns the original version of the data!

Note that getting the customProp of an object where the property doesn't exist
will return empty but won't trigger any error. If you want to catch this

Re: revCopyFile
Hi Geoff, Thanks for the speed test info. I'm not very familiar with shell commands so maybe you could let me know the command to use? What I need to do is copy a file to a different folder with a different file name. The lack of a progress bar might be a problem, but if the speed differences are as much as you found, there may not be a need for a progress bar at all. Also, I assume the shell commands would be different on Windows and Mac. That's an inconvenience because it means extra coding, but not a show stopper.

For completeness, the same advantage applies to using a shell command. You don't get a progress dialog though. Okay, I just did a quick one-off test with interface sounds off. For thirty files that were each about 70kb, using a shell command was about 3x faster than using revCopyFile. That's without taking advantage of the ability to move and rename in one step with a shell command. If that's what you're doing, the advantage would be even greater.

Seems like that setting will apply to other sounds as well, but I'm OK with that. As far as using AppleScript, I'm using revCopyFile because the dictionary claims there are certain advantages to using it over put URL or any other method, amongst which is that it does not require reading the file into memory, and since some of these files could be pretty large, that's significant. On a Mac, it also displays a progress bar which I don;t think would be possible if I used put URL.

Re: Need an example of how to use try and catch
You're getting an error because the catch part of try takes only 1 parameter - the variable that holds the error - not two as in the script. Also, as noted by Peter, the try statement doesn't help you with the specific example you used since getting a non-existant custom property doesn't cause an error.

Re: LiveCode Player for 5.5
I'm in the K-12 education field. Teachers are quickly moving away from downloading anything and their IT guys are even worse, sometimes setting up systems which disallow downloading a desktop app. I hadn't looked at building for Web in a while but this is very discouraging to find it's gone. I had hoped it had been cleaned up since I last worked with it, not abandoned. From what I see the education industry is not the only area moving rapidly toward doing everything in a browser.

Ray Horsley wrote: I'm in the K-12 education field. Teachers are quickly moving away from downloading anything and their IT guys are even worse, sometimes setting up systems which disallow downloading a desktop app. I hadn't looked at building for Web in a while but this is very discouraging to find it's gone. I had hoped it had been cleaned up since I last worked with it, not abandoned. If it's gone someone should let RunRev know: http://www.runrev.com/products/web/ From what I see the education industry is not the only area moving rapidly toward doing everything in a browser. Healthcare, finance, you name it, everybody spends most of the day in browsers today. Does this mean the majority of us Livecoders are doing nothing more than writing mobile apps? Ironically, a mobile app is very much like the most viable, flexible, and cost-effective alternative to RevWeb: net-savvy standalones. Whether the LiveCode engine is wrapped as a browser plugin or your own standalone, either way it'll need institutional buy-in to get your stacks distributed. Any org that will allow a third-party binary browser plugin should also allow a standalone. Like the browser plugin, a standalone can easily download stacks from a server, even compressed stacks for quick delivery. But unlike a browser you have far more options: Your users can enjoy the flexibility any desktop app has in terms of a UI dedicated for its workflow, along with local file access and other traditional app features, which can be used to provide an offline mode, smart caching, and more. And if needed, a standalone can be more secure than a browser: just turn on the secureMode as the first line in your startup handler, and your app will be prevented from many any changes at all on the local machine. I suspect that most of the laments from not being able to use RevWeb for deployment fall into two camps: a) Devs who've had to work with orgs run by dumb really dumb IT staff who somehow think that a proprietary binary executable that's called a browser plugin is somehow inherently safer than an application b) Devs who haven't really pursued such conversations with their clients seriously, so the issue is largely just theoretical for them. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ambassa...@fourthworld.comhttp://www.FourthWorld.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: Need an example of how to use try and catch
I have been using the try/catch idiom for years. I like the structure it gives my code - visually it makes it very clear where I am expecting problematic sections to be. I rarely use 'finally'. However the problem has always been with interpreting the error codes that arise. For years I got round that by incorporating Mark Schonewille's errorLib in my stacks. Like you, I find that sqlYoga really needs try/catch. I did see somewhere else that Trevor recommended having some specific error handler implemented, but for me just wrapping the calls that go to the database in try/catch solves the problem.

Re: Need an example of how to use try and catch
When you are in a standalone, a runtime error that would halt execution might be fatal. Try/Catch allows you to handle the error gracefully without presenting the user with an ugly dialog and a QTD afterwards. You can politely inform the user that something has gone wrong and you have to exit the application, after tidying things up a bit if necessary. Databases can just go away sometimes, like the IT guy deciding it's time to update the servers and restart them while the user is working late on an important project. Setting a repeat loop around a try/catch construct allows you to attempt a reconnect a certain number of times, or present the user with a Retry/Cancel dialog, allowing you to clean up and exit gracefully if necessary. As a case in point, I was having a problem with a low level broadcast storm which was causing the uplinks on our switches to reset (they are designed to do that). Anyone who uses Microsoft SQL knows this can be fatal, depending on how the software is written. Our accounting software was not very well written, and as a result, the end user was subject to a never ending stream of error dialogs allowing a cancel, retry or abort! None of them exited gracefully. ICK!! Had the developer accounted for the possibility that the user could be disconnected from the database, and provided a graceful exit, my reputation would not now be so tarnished, because they all blamed me of course. :-) To the accounting girl's credit however, they did make me brownies when I found the source of the broadcast storm and fixed it.

Seems like that setting will apply to other sounds as well, but I'm OK with that. As far as using AppleScript, I'm using revCopyFile because the dictionary claims there are certain advantages to using it over put URL or any other method, amongst which is that it does not require reading the file into memory, and since some of these files could be pretty large, that's significant. On a Mac, it also displays a progress bar which I don;t think would be possible if I used put URL.

There's also the overhead of spinning up AppleScript in the first place. If Apple is doing that badly, that might also cause problems I suppose.

The reason RR chose AppleScript is because it retains the metadata in a file, which a straight binary copy doesn't do. Apple is veering away from metadata though, so it may not be as important as it used to be. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: revCopyFile
Hi Jacque, Yes, I saw that in the dictionary. I don't think there's any metadata in the files I will be copying (straight .txt files) but I'll have to check that before going down this path. I found the files function in the dictionary and it includes the file size in one of it's formats but it lists all the files in the default folder, not an individual file. I guess it won;t take too long to get that and use filter to narrow it down to the source file for the copy. Pete On Thu, Mar 22, 2012 at 6:55 PM, J.

[irev] retrieve HTTP header info
Hello All, I want to identify mobile users who visit my webpage. By looking at the HTTP header info. By way of experimentation/curiosity, I figured out a PHP way of doing this. For example, here's the PHP-retrieved header data from my browser: - [Accept] = text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8 [Accept-Charset] = ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.3 [Accept-Encoding] = gzip,deflate,sdch [Accept-Language] = en-US,en;q=0.8 [Cache-Control] = max-age=259200 [Connection] = keep-alive [Cookie] = myCookie [Host] = kweto.com [User-Agent] = Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0) AppleWebKit/535.11 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/17.0.963.83 Safari/535.11 [Via] = 1.1 unknown:8080 (squid/2.5.STABLE6) [X-Forwarded-For] = 1.1.1.1 ) - All the same, I'd much prefer to use an irev script. Is there already a way for an irev script to do this? Thank you. -- Nicolas Cueto ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: Prevent openStack message
Mark, I want the dialog box to open but not send an openStack message. I'm writing a plugin for the LiveCode IDE that triggers when a stack is opened. In the case of my own stack I don't want to trigger it when all I'm doing is opening up a dialog box in my own plugin.
