Nothing quite beats answering one's own e-mails, except, possibly, banging one's head against the wall (Don't believe me? Try it some time!) this in a cardScript: on rawKeyDown RAWK if the of this card = "in" then do something end if set the of this card to "out" end

I'm suffering from "sticky finger syndrome" and cannot get my finger off a key quickly enough to stop it firing more than once . . . SO . . . Wondered about this sort of thing [pseudocode]: on rawKeyDown RAWK do something send "rawKeyUp" to where? end rawKeyDown answers on a

Hi Richmond, Tell me if this recipe works in your own setup: 1) Import an image 2) Create a small rectangle graphic with no fill (rectangles without fill is the default style) 3) Paste this script into the image: local tLocation, OriginalXposition, OriginalYposition on mouseDown put the

Hi, Does such a text « 99/99/00 » exist ? You can also always say that it is possible that « 15/10/17 » is not a date in a certain context Now seriously if the function returns a valid date, you can test afterwards the result to see if it can be something else than a date. Now i’m not enough

why not have the engine do it for you - use convert to convert the possible date to whatever format you're expecting. If it the answer isn't the same, then you don't have a date. On Sun, Oct 15, 2017 at 7:05 PM, J. Landman Gay via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Yeah.

Re: is a date

You know, after all the dicussion here, I'm not sure any of the options are better than "x is a date". The one exception may be that any integer is considered a date. To get around that we could just check that there are 3 items delimited by slashes before testing for "is a date". --
