Re: PDF Manipulation was Design Question

Bob S: Thanks for replying to my post. It seems the situation is as I thought although making a GUI with Livecode to activate an external library is easier than using other tools to make a GUI for an external library. When I started this conversation I assumed I would something like that.

Re: PDF Manipulation was Design Question

*IF* the pdf files are simple enough, there are some substitutions that you can “just make”. A string literal can be replaced with a string of the same length. It could also be replaced with a shorter string and space-padded for the extra space. You want to put a string that is three

Re: Script colorization not working

Thanks Panos, and Bernd also for the tip on the new version of Source Code Pro. The student was indeed using Source Code Pro, and when she changed to a different font for the script editor, it fixed the problem. Devin > On Nov 18, 2020, at 2:26 PM, panagiotis merakos via use-livecode >

Re: Design Question

Jim: What I’m thinking is that my app would allow students to write their text and create the images. I would export the “composition” in pdf format. That would be imported into the LMS or sent to the teacher external to my app. The teacher could then comment on the writing either in the LMS or

Re: filter

So I thought ... filter fld 1 with "[*" ... would do the job, but that EMPTIES the field!? Obviously this [ interferes with some REGEX mechanism of filter? So what should I use now? I think: filter fld 1 with "[[]*" Should do the trick... Basically, you can use '[...]' to 'escape' the
