Bad: Can I reference a png file?
Means: I'm too lazy to try it, so
Tried it as:
put measureText(testText”,templateField) into theTextWidth
Wasn’t expecting it to work and it didn’t but should it have crashed LC?
Would it be a good idea for it to work with the templateField?
All the best

Hugh,
Can I use an array to measure the formattedwidth of a png file?
Can LiveCode install more RAM in my computer?
Where is Elvis?

Surely that depends on how good the quote is?
Q.Can LiveCode install more RAM in my computer?

Nothing should cause LC to crash, so that should be reported as a bug, if you
prefer not to or don't have enough time to report it just let me know and I
would be happy to.
By default the templateField doesn't have the text properties set for textFont

\s replaces space with space.
\s+ does a greedy replace where it tries to replace as many of the same
token as it can at one time, so it'll grab all the consecutive whitespace
and replace it with space.

Okay I think I have found a way to get the battery status. I checked it on my
VM of Windows 7. Your results may vary.
Try shell(WMIC Path Win32_Battery Get Availability”)

Thanks Paul.
The problem is, the file types involved are SQLite databases and there is
no standard file extension for them. The most common is .s3db but I've

Okay so two commands you can use:
shell(WMIC Path Win32_Battery GetAvailability”) will tell you if the battery

It appears that when the battery is fully recharged, the Availability is still
2, but the BatteryRechargeTime becomes empty instead of a number. Will that do
