Hi,

Which one? This is the problem here.
The "target audience" already has its favorite text editor, each another one
;-)

So I think it would only make sense to have "the basics" collected at some
place:
- Lists of keywords, commands, functions, properties, ...
- Regex that work to determine control structures, comments, ...
- already existing solutions (for whatever text editors)

This would be a great help to roll ones own "syntax schemata", IMHO.
And the only one I can imagine that would really be a benefit for all.

Have fun!

Re: Reveal in Find on Windows

[Roger Eller via use-livecode]

Launch document is good, but the OP wants to simply open a folder, and as
stated in his first post, reveal or select a specific file.  I'll try the
handler on Windows when I get to the office.

Re: Reveal in Find on Windows

[hh via use-livecode]

The following works here on Mac/Win/Linux with LC 6/7/8/9.

All my newer stacks have a menu (small square at top left)
to do that for each path item of the current stack path.

##  Opens the folder that contains the file pFolderFile
command openWorkingFolder pFolderFile
   set itemdel to "/"
   put item 1 to -2 of pFolderFile into t
   set itemdel to ","
   if the platform is "linux" then
  try
 launch document t
 get shell("xdg-open " & quote&t"e)
  end try
   else launch document t
end openWorkingFolderInFinder

BBEdit was my editor of choice for a long time. I tried out Sublime Text 3
while working on some projects based on Rails and Ember at the end of last
year. I’ve fallen in love with it. Here is what I like in no particular
order:

- Projects
 - You can configure folders/files within your project folder (e.g.
build folders) to ignore in searches
 - Define project properties (this helps with the communication between
LiveCode and Sublime Text).
- Multi-column, multi-row pane layouts with tabs in each pane.
- Multiple views into the same file. I like being able to work on two parts
of the same file in two different panes.
- Highly configurable
- Language modules for just about everything under the sun.
- Language modules can include python scripts which is how Sublime Text
sends messages to the stack in LiveCode that is listening on a local port).
- Plugins for things like git and linters. I can commit using keyboard
shortcuts from within Sublime Text. I can also visually see changes to
files that I’ve made since the last commit. The LiveCode linter allows me
to see mistakes in my code.
- Search
 - Searching a project shows results in a tab. I prefer this to a
search window in a separate window.
- Navigation
 - See and filter list of all handlers in current view without leaving
keyboard.
 - See and filter list of all handlers in entire project without
leaving keyboard.
 - Quickly open any file in a project without leaving the keyboard.
 - View and install language modules and plugins without everything
leaving the keyboard.
 - Right-click on any handler that is defined in a project and navigate
to it. This works even if the handler appears within quotes (e.g. send
“MyHandler” to …)

Overall I feel like Sublime Text reduces friction while I’m working. I feel
like I can work much faster.

You get a star for effort.  ;-p

I tried your handler on Mac and Win, (not currently one of the 50 million
Linux users).  It opened the folder but did not select (reveal) the file or
folder.  The start of your command name didn't match the end, but that's
okay.  Community effort, right?

Call a function on another card

[Peter Bogdanoff via use-livecode]

Hi,

I’m reading on 
http://lessons.livecode.com/m/4071/l/11787-how-to-call-a-function-or-command-in-another-object

this:
put value("myFunction(hello, world)", group "myGroup" of card "myCard") into 
tResult

I want to use a variable as a parameter instead of “hello, world” as in the 
page example.

These don’t work:
put value(“getPageNumber (tID)", card "MITA" of stack "MITA") into tResult
put value("getPageNumber" & (tID), card "MITA" of stack "MITA") into tResult

What do I do?

Re: Reveal in Find on Windows

[hh via use-livecode]

@Roger
I adjusted (uncompletely) the name to the OP's handler name.

Yes, you are right, the handler only opens the enclosing folder
(or any path item of such a folder path).

The purpose of my post was to second the "launch document" solution
for folders and moreover to add the linux variant for the ubuntu-
and debian-flavours (most Raspis run also linux).

I saw the "launch document" method for folders first, as a real
beginner, in an old post of Klaus in the forum.

For revealing/selecting the file one needs, as was partially
explicitly pointed out in other posts before (thanks for that),
specific tools for each platform. Some time ago I tried several hours
to find general variants but I gave up eventually because it is
moreover, within the platform, specific for OS-releases/OS-flavours.

Re: Call a function on another card

[Mike Bonner via use-livecode]

Will this work for you?
dispatch function "myFunction" to card "myCard"

put the result into tResult

Parameters can also be passed using the "with" extension. Unlike the
"call", "send" and "value" handlers, the parameters are sent directly to
the target handler, rather than being extracted from the string used to
call the handler. This negates the need to surround our parameters in
quotes and also allows us to pass arrays

Yes, thank you, that works. I used:

dispatch function "getPageNumber" to card "MITA" of stack "MITA" with tID

What came back was in “the result”

“it” contained “handled”

Re: [ANN] Release 9.0.0 DP-5

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

First of all this is a Developer Preview. Note the, "This is not a stable 
release" disclaimer. Consider also that some may be unwilling to move to 
version 9 until such a time as they feel confident that most of the issues have 
been shaken out of it. I am one of these. 

Do you suggest that all development and improvement for version 8 and that we 
all wait for certain bugs to be addressed in the next major release? That would 
be unfortunate. Already since the earlier versions of 8, there have been marked 
improvements and bug fixes, such as much faster search times and an order of 
magnitude faster Build times. 

So long as version 8 is supported, I think we can expect (and be thankful) that 
the LC dev team is constantly improving. And also, I suspect that any new 
features introduced and bugs squashed in 8 are also being rolled into 9. It's 
not an either or proposition.

Re: Call a function on another card

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

When I encounter situations like these, I begin to ask myself why the handler 
is in a card script. If it needs to be accessible from other cards, it should 
probably be moved to the stack script, or put into a button and inserted into 
front or back. I have 3 buttons I use for this effect: Utilities, Validations 
and Database Functions. Utilities and Database functions I insert into back. 
The validations I insert into front in case I want to intercept things like 
openField or selectionChanged and do things before passing them on.

You could try:

put value(“myFunction(“ & myVar & ")", group "myGroup" of card "myCard") into

[ANN] conference - tickets sent

[Mark Schonewille via use-livecode]

The tickets for the eHUG International Mini Conference on LiveCode have 
been sent. Everyone who ordered a ticket until yesterday should have 
received it by now. Obviously, if you didn't, you should contact me 
right-away.


If you regret not having bought a ticket, you can still do so until we 
disable this feature of the website. However, you might want to send me 
an e-mail or call first.

Re: Call a function on another card

[Peter Bogdanoff via use-livecode]

Bob,

This is a good question. In my case, each card script has script local 
variables that are used only for that card.

In this unusual case (I’m creating a text search method) I need to access the 
contents of those variables from another stack.

I indeed would like to move common handlers to a stack or library script, but 
these handlers use many local variables relevant to the individual cards. I 
have not yet thought of a simple way to use common handlers without a LOT of 
passing of local variable data.

Instead of local variables, I suppose I could set custom properties in the 
library stack for each bit of data. But it seems awkward to me to have in the 
library script:

put the FieldTextArray of stack “MLib” into tVar # Stored in a custom property
return tVar [“HTML”] 
then in the card script:
set the htmlText of field “Text” to it 

instead of simply (in the card script):
set the htmlText of field “Text” to sFieldTextData [“HTML”]  # Card local 
variable

And then, custom properties would have to be emptied after each session.

Peter

Re: Call a function on another card

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

I may be mistaken, but I think that script locals are accessible to a behavior 
script. If so, you could keep the script local variables in the card, and the 
handlers in a library or backscript. I will set up a test for that.

For deployment it's usually best to use the most recent Stable build.

But for development it's usually best to use the most recent build of 
any designation so you know the current state of the engine as it 
pertains to your work.

Re: Call a function on another card

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

I did a quick little test. The card's script local variables are not accessible 
from the behavior script. 

At this point you might consider using card properties instead. This is what I 
have been doing. This way each card can have it's own "variables" in the form 
of properties. Then you can have a function in each card script that returns 
the value stored in the property:

function cardProp pPropName
   return the pPropName of me
end cardProp

Booyah. I use this myself. The nice thing about using properties is that if 
there is no such property there will not be any error thrown.

They communicate via sockets so no it doesn’t need to be tethered.

Standalone Builder Issues (again)

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

Hi all. 

I am getting the impression that the standalone builder goes to each card in 
each stack when building an application. The reason I think this is because I 
have an openStack handler in the card script of the mainstack which opens a 
login stack as modal. When building standalones now in 8.1.3, the Login stack 
opens and the build process stops (because it's a modal stack). I can work 
around this by shift-ctrl-cmd right-clicking the card and switching the stack 
to topLevel, but that begs the question: Why is the standalone builder running 
my scripts?? Or do I misunderstand something? 

Bob S

back to slow compile with 8.1.3?

[Dr. Hawkins via use-livecode]

I mentioned a bit ago that with the RC sequences of 8.1.3, I had to go to
7.1 to combine my stacks, but then they compiled quickly with 8.1.3.

Now, I'm at 8 minutes and counting with the released 8.1.3 . . .

Re: Call a function on another card

[Peter Bogdanoff via use-livecode]

Thanks Bob, I’ll look at this more closely.

One benefit of using custom properties rather than local variables is that I’ve 
seen that local variables are sometimes emptied on some script errors when 
working on a script. Then I have to quit and reload the stack.

SHA1 cracked .... What are the chances this will be addressed in LC?

[Tom Glod via use-livecode]

Hi everyone,

Read this article today. I use SHA1 in my software, so

https://www.recode.net/2017/2/23/14715570/google-researchers-crack-internet-security-tool-sha1-encryption

What do you all think? Should I bother reporting this? or is it fair to say
they know about it?  What are the chances that there will be extra effort
placed on adding another sha digest function? sha256?

THanks

Tom

   " Do you suggest that all development and improvement for version 8 and that

order of magnitude faster Build times."

Not at all. But for those of us who are

a) making a major move to script only (stacks, libs, behaviors) 
b) struggling with de-bugging on mobile

9 DP5 has us, as Mike says "drooling"

How logical!  thanks… assuming there is no change in file format and stacks are 
backward compatible, that makes good sense.

I have backups everywhere, so I'm off with 9DP5

Congrats to the team at HQ

True, but you may not need to:  each object subscribed to a behavior 
script maintains its own set of script-local variables.

v8.1 and v9 share the same format.

But even when there is a format change, the team's done a good job of 
providing save-as going back at least a decade's worth of older formats.

deploy?

The v9dp5 Release Notes include:

  Script-only deploy (9.0.0-dp-5)
  It is now possible to use script-only stacks in the mainstack
  and auxiliary stack parameters to the deploy command.

Sounds cool. What's the "deploy" command?  It's not in the Dictionary.

It’s an IDE only internal command for creating standalone engines.

Sounds useful for automating build systems.  At least part of it is 
documented in the latest Release Notes - where can I find the rest of 
the docs on that?

It isn’t part of the engine I know much about nor am I sure if/where the 
documentation might be. You would probably be better working with standalone 
builder scripts to automate building anyway.

Have a look at the standalone builder tests for command line building

Re: Script locals in library stack script

I have set the LC preference to preserve variables. In the past I have

In case anyone has been losing sleep over this, it was indeed me. Two 
weeks later while revising my scripts I found the culprit line, 
sandwiched between two large blocks of commented-out code, lurking with 
its head down and its eyes closed. But there was a snicker on its face.


I hit it over the head, put it in a gunny sack, and threw it in the

Remote debugger

[J. Landman Gay via use-livecode]

I jumped all over this right away. I set a breakpoint in a test stack, 
tethered my phone to the Mac, and clicked the Test button.


My button script:

on mouseUp
  get "Testing"
  put it into fld 1 -- breakpoint set here
end mouseUP

The app launched on my phone and the script stopped executing at the 
right place (nothing went into fld 1) but I wasn't asked if I wanted to 
start a debugging session and the IDE didn't go into debug mode.


Is there something else I need to do to in the stack to activate remote 
debugging?

Re: Remote debugger

Hi Jacque,

Make sure you add the remote debugger inclusion in Inclusions pane. This
should not be necessary in the IDE, but currently you maybe have to do it.

Re: [ANN] Release 9.0.0 DP-5

I wish I could understand the way different "levels" come out 
concurrently. Are we to assume

that all the new things in 8.1.3 are also bound into 9.0.0 DP-5?

Hi Panos,

I did it both ways, with the remote debugger included and without, but 
got the same results. It stops the app at the point where it should 
activate and nothing else happens.

Hmm I guess you have checked Script Debug mode, is that correct? Maybe it
is worth typing in the msg box "put true into grevdevelopment" and test
again. This will catch any silent failure in the IDE, if any.

Re: Remote debugger

Debug mode is on (it always is, but I just checked again.) I set 
gRevDevelopment to true, but no change. It acts like the phone script 
stops at the breakpoint but the IDE doesn't know anything happened.
