RE: odd and even numbers
From: Mark Wieder Hmmm... for now, just ignore my benchmarks. I'm getting quite different results with LC 4.6.4 and LC 6.1rc1, and I think there's some garbage collection going on in the background. Plus I found half a dozen LC update processes running. I'm currently seeing fairly consistent results with all the different options, even with the mod and trunc functions thrown in the mix. I hope the engine is smart enough that repeat 1 times doesn't convert the count back and forth between a string and a number ten thousand times. -- Ciao, Paul D.

I found that my problem was caused by the fact that I had embedded these images as references to the files, and not copied the files. When I imported them so that the image data would be embedded in the stack, then they worked. However, when I create a new stack, and just give it an image object that refers to a file, and then delete the file, it doesn't crash. Since I can't reproduce this crash with a simple example, I can't report it as a bug. -- Ciao, Paul D.

And if you're doing that, you might as well just use a repeat for each line loop and manually build the array as you go. On Mon, Aug 5, 2013 at 1:55 AM, Tiemo Hollmann TB toolb...@kestner.dewrote: Hello, when having a simple table, I can split this table into an one dimensional array by using return and the table separator, e.g. split myTable by return and ; to get the first column of the table as the array index. Is there any trick to split the same table getting any other column as the array index? Or do I have to create a copy of the table first and rearrange the columns, so that always the wanted index is the first column? Thanks for any hints.

Re: revUp Newsletter- call for articles
Hi Heather, I'm a professor in the education department of a small, liberal arts college… we've been using LiveCode to develop apps for use in a Kindergarten Number Sense Project… we began several years ago and I wrote apps for desktop… we've moved now to iPads… the elementary education majors are required to buy an iPad… they also influence app design and modifications based on their work with kindergarten students… here are two web addresses if you'd like some more info. If you'd think it appropriate, the article link could be reduced in length with an emphasis on the two new apps that were developed this past school year. The website for the NumberSense Project outlines the details and is available at http://www.augustana.edu/numbersense A recent article I co-authored with Mike Egan about our work can be found here: http://www.citejournal.org/vol12/iss3/currentpractice/article1.cfm. be well, randy - On Aug 6, 2013, at 11:55 AM, Heather Laine heat...@runrev.com wrote: Dear List Folks, As you may or may not have noticed, normal service has now resumed with our interesting and informative twice monthly newsletter.

Would it work to export from within FileMaker, and then import that file into LC? That would mean writing a (very simple) script in FileMaker, or just manually exporting using the specified layout as a template, and then writing a simple importer in LC.
