I will donate "aluminium" for them. I don't know where they got that. Oh, and don't forget Wales. They only have one sorta vowel, "y", and they make do with random consonants when they run short. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software |

Curry. "A few regulars - but many others who work/lurk! :)" I see that. Robert Eppich, back in the ’90’s, way before sockets, sold a product called “Epsitalk”. This was HC based, and essentially used the now deprecated “send message to program”. This was listed as a keyword, not a command, in

Encrypting long text

2021-12-16 Thread Sean Cole via use-livecode
Hi all, I'm trying to use RSA to encrypt data from a text field like an address or notes. When I try to use the encrypt command I get a result 'message too long'. What is the method for encrypting long or large data? My current line of code: encrypt tData using rsa with public key

Thanks Mark, New problem. Trying to use aes-256-ctr instead. I'm following the syntax in the dictionary but it throws a red cross on it: encrypt tData using "aes-256-ctr" with key tMyKey and salt tMySalt What is wrong with this syntax that the auto language detector shows it as a mistake? Sean

Curry. Surely you are right. I just remember when HC was on the ropes, and wish that the LC Forum was so full of posts that I never have to do my actual job. I can just kibitz there all day long. It would mean that the world finally gets what LC offers. Craig > On Dec 16, 2021, at 11:16 AM,

Hi Mark So it must be the auto-completes that have the wrong possible values added to its list. Type 'encrypt' into the script editor and go to the bottom, then right and there are every possible iteration based on the syntax given in the dictionary. This does not match up with your description
