Hi Roger,
It’s simply no way to achieve 100% of cross platform ability as long as some
features available, say, on the native Xcode’s iOS platform are not on the
native Android SDK/NDK/JNI side and vice-versa ! Instead of complaining about
this fact and, again, instead of limiting the cross

It is also irritating when the assumption is always that so many features

I see, you wanted to use the literal word as a chunk expression. But you surely
know this is not valid in LC, and will have to use the wordOffset or something
similar so you can get an actual valid chunk.

Hi,
I want to add a content library module to a LiveCode-built project. It will
enable users to store, tag, sort and retrieve their content. I've read
various threads and articles about databases, but I have minimal database
experience and I want to get it right the first time. So I'd appreciate
+1 Roger, +1 Pierre.
On the first one, Roger, I completely agree, MORE SEAMLESS cross-platform,
more attention to Android (and Win 10, etc.) is important, even if it's
only because it says to the rest of the world Cross-platform for realises.
I also agree with Pierre on where the investment goes.

Yet another approach:
put this is the only one into fld 1
put empty into s1
put empty into e1
get MatchChunk (line 1of fld 1,(?i).+(only).+,s1,e1)
-- the regexp capture returns the start and end characters the match
set the textcolor of char s1 to e1 of line 1 of fld 1 to red
It sounds like you might want to look at the styledtext. Its a bit
convoluted, but once you get it figured out, it should be very fast.
Pseudo code for this would be..
put the text of the field into a variable.
repeat for each line (paragraph) and build up an array of runs with
descriptive text
The thing that emerges from my question is that to colour a word or
phrase programmatically
in a textField is a fiddly business and it would be nice (??) if a
simpler way to do this were introduced.
This works very well:
on mouseUp
put 1 into VOCABLE
repeat until word VOCABLE in fld
Hi Tom,
SQLite should do what you need but a few notes for you.
SQLite doesn't have an array datatype. The usual way of handling this type
of data in any SQL database is to store each key and value of the array in
a separate table that is linked to your main table by an id of some sort

Back in The Days Of The Language Wars, it was important, but now, with so
many specialty languages for so many reasons, it becomes much less of an
issue. The PL bigots have been upended by uncompiled web languages.

Although LC calls itself cross-platform, I despise the fact that commands
in the dictionary, particularly for mobile, have quirks that make it a
