OSX module file error when building standalone with LC 8 on mac

I just went to recompile a little utility I have and came across this error. The stack is simple and just gets the user to select file(s) or a folder or a text list to create folders somewhere else. I had compiled a standalone before but now am unable to with LC8. It gets all the way to

Maybe right after you import the JSON data, preprocess it with something like this: set the lineDelimiter to "\u" repeat for each line tLine in tJsonData put numToCodePoint("0x" & char 1 to 4 of tLine) & char 5 to -1 of tLine after tNewData end repeat put tNewData into tJsonData Then go

Thanks. I actually was using jsonImport() with these strings successfully (no wrapper required) but it has a bug on Android that makes it unuseable. That's what caused the problem in the first place, because jsonToArray() doesn't deal with escape sequences. So I went ahead and wrote a decoder

where does the standalonebuilder saves the substacks in an Mac OS App?

2017-03-14 Thread Matthias Rebbe via use-livecode
Hi, is it correct when the standalone settings of an stack are set to move substacks into individual stack files that under Mac OS X the substacks in an compiled app (e.g. test.app) are stored in 'test.app/Contents/Resources/_MacOS/‘ instead of being stored in 'test.app/Contents/MacOS/'

What I mean is - retrieve through JS to avoid escape characters then translate to utf-8 to pass to LC. Might be too complicated though. Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 14, 2017, at 5:26 PM, J. Landman Gay via use-livecode > wrote: > > www.hyperactivesw.com

Translating escape sequences

2017-03-14 Thread J. Landman Gay via use-livecode
I'm dealing with non-English languages, and JSON data retrieved from a database comes in with unicode escape sequences like this: Eduardo Ba\u00f1uls. I need to translate those. I can do it by replacing the "\u" with "0x" and then using numToCodepoint() to get the UTF16 character. But there
