Re: Finding matched parentheses

Hi Thierry, If you follow the link in my post to Geoff, there's an example of a recursive expression.

I do believe that if all the Japanese characters you use are within the Unicode area reserved for Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji it should not be necessary for end-users to have to perform extra tricks to get your stuff working on their setup.

Re: Finding matched parentheses
Thanks for all the interesting replies to this query. I used offset rather than (what most replies suggested) repeat with (or for) each character thinking it would be faster, but that seems to be true only if the string is extremely long and the sought for character very far from the front. And I tried to match the first ( rather than building a list of all matches. There is no practical need for yet another approach, but in case others will find it of interest here is a speedy one that does not step through each character and barely uses offset. David Epstein function offsetPair a,b,str -- NOTE: a and b are single characters, str cannot be more than one line -- in string str, locate the first a, and the nth b, where n = the number of a's that precede that b -- e.g., if a = ( and b = ) the character positions of the first matched pair will be returned -- return 0 if a is not found and empty if no match is found put offset(a,str) into ca if ca = 0 then return 0 put numToChar(7) into char 1 to ca of str -- some char that's not a or b replace a with return in str put 1 into na -- number (ordinal) of a's, also the line count in str put 0 into nb repeat for each line k in str if k is not empty then -- does this line have (na-nb) instances of b? get nthHit(na-nb,b,k,z,numToChar(7)) if it is not empty then return ca it+ca+length(line 1 to na-1 of str) add z to nb end if add 1 to na end repeat return empty end offsetPair function nthHit n,a,str,@z -- returns character number of the nth instance of a (a single character) in str -- z reports the total number of hits put numToChar(7) str numToChar(7) into str -- so str does not begin or end with a set itemDelimiter to a put -1 + the number of items in str into z if n z then return empty return length(item 1 to n of str) end nthHit ___ 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

I agree with you on that. Some of the tests I did resulted in LC running out of memory too! That's another thing I think should work better with matchText and matchChunk. Any errors, eg a bad regex, result in a runtime error - would be much better if they put something into the result. Which has nothing to do with regex but more the way it's implemented in LC. Yep. The tests that ran out of memory in LC worked fine in RegExhibit (a tool I use for testing regex expressions).

Actually, I could not find RRTest in RevOnline: http://revonline2.runrev.com/search/tag/developer%20tool/direction/descending/searchtype/latest/ Could you post a direct download link? I can't find it either. In fact, the web interface shows nothing newer than 9 July. And everything from July is from d...@livecode.com. The web version of revOnline seems to have very little to do with the IDE version. I think the design and maintenance of the runrev website has been taken over by folks who hate LiveCode. It's the only explanation I can think of.
