Re: Best approach to introduce students in programing to LC ?

Mark, Thanks for the offer, I will be glad to review your new book. Although I think you might be somewhat wrong about those students' needs. These people are 18 to 20 years old and have already been exposed to the basic concepts of coding in highschool or are self-educated on these matters.

Yep, I do remember Be. AFAIR it could be installed on Macintosh clones made by other manufactors back then... They had a very specific icons design and there was a kind of freeware that could be installed on Mac OS to make the GUI look like Be... Best, jbv

Be was also very forward thinking about Internet-connected home appliances. In 1999, they hired me to create a UI for a prototype touch screen kitchen manager -- for planning meals, ordering groceries, and handling personal communications. They were very shorthanded at the time, so they left it

Very interesting time in MacOS land when Be came around. I wrote an article for their developer magazine about sales distribution. At the time, I was also involved in selling a different RAD tool and in talks with Be to port it to the BeOS. Had they agreed to terms, I think it would have changed

Hi, This regex does what you want: on foo put 123-f-78-x0// into x put replacetext(x,[^0-9],) end foo Probably you will need a repeat loop, unless you really just have a list of 50 phone numbers. In that case you could use replacetext(x,[^0-9\n],) to modify the entire list at once.
