Re: File - read from EOF

Thanks for the suggestion. Actually the way I am processing the data from the end makes it faster for what I need in the long run. I finally got it working but now I need to clean it up and probably re think it again since I did it so many different ways. Thanks to everyone for your help! JB

Re: File - read from EOF

Thanks for the info! I almost have it by keeping track of what is read. While Livecode is very fast with text I am trying to keep the process a small as possible. If I am working of 350 files a fews seconds on each file adds up a lot. JB > On May 28, 2017, at 1:29 PM, hh via use-livecode >

Re: File - read from EOF

[This certainly depends upon how you read 'sections'. If one uses a separator and search backwards then you'll get empty before the first if at start of file.] When testing this 'ineffective' way (because of searching backwards) I found a better method: Say your separator is for example

Re: File - read from EOF

That did not work for me. When I read the data is put into it so I was putting empty into it after the read to make sure it was clear. I tried not putting empty into it and used, repeat until it = empty but apparently it never became empty. JB > On May 28, 2017, at 10:37 AM, hh via

Personally I'd do something "totally mental": I'd import the file contents into a field, reverse its order and work on from there. Richmond. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe,

Re: File - read from EOF

Thanks for letting me know the limitations of the method I offered. Now that you point it out, it makes sense since it'd be rather tough to do a count of something that isn't entirely accessible beginning to end. The detailed files method is definitely better. I guess one could go read a file

IIRC, in Linux a window can be moved by right-clicking and selecting 'move', then drag from anywhere within the frame. On May 28, 2017 5:35 AM, "Colin Holgate via use-livecode" < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Was just testing something and needed to look up a function in the >

Here's a right &*^%$# with *textField*s: I have thousands of scripts that go something a bit like this: *setthetextoftheselectedTexttonumToCodePoint**(107)* and when one is activated it pops the designated Unicode Glyph *INTO* the place in the text inwith a

Importing HTML UniCode text into LiveCode

So: Having exported Unicode text from my Devawriter Pro to HTML (which shows up in a Web Browser alright *IFF* the text encoding is set to 'Unicode'), on REIMPORTING that HTML file I get something that does NOT look the same at all. My script WAS set to this: set the htmlText of fld "fld" to
