So then why does put textEncode("a","UTF-32") into X;put chartonum(byte 1
of X) put 97? That implies that "byte" 1 is "a", not 111. Likewise, put
textEncode("㍁","UTF-32") into X;put chartonum(byte 1 of X) puts 65.
I've looked in the dictionary and I don't see anything that comes close to

A few things:
1. It seems codepointOffset can only find a single character? So it
won't work for any search for a multi-character string?
2: codepointOffset seems to work differently for multi-byte characters and
regular characters:
put codepointoffset("e","↘ndatestest",6) -- puts 3

Hi Folks
I was a bit perplexed by this so I had a quick look about the engine and I see
the issue. The problem is you are using `offset` which works on characters.
Characters in LiveCode are neither unicode codepoints or bytes. They are
graphemes. This means that when you have chars to skip

This is so puzzling. I tried this code in a button:
on mouseUp
put "Ѡ" into x
put "ѡ" into y
Text strings in LiveCode are native encoded (MacRoman or ISO 8859) where
possible and where you don’t explicitly tell the engine it’s unicode (via
textDecode) so that they can follow faster single byte code paths. If you use
textDecode then the engine will first check if the text can be native

This is something that I've been wondering about for a while.
My unexamined assumption had been that in the 'new' fully unicode LC, text was
held in UTF-8. However when I saved some text strings in binary I got
something like UTF-8 - but not quite. And the recent experiments with offset
This is not something I’ve looked at before but it appears the files should be
being cleaned up at the end of the session. I guess if LiveCode writing this
file is a particular issue for you then you could put in a feature request to
toggle relaunch support in the standalone builder.

Coming late to this discussion. Very excited by this approach of converting
everything to UTF-32 in order to do fast offsets.
I'm really confused that case-insensitive should work at all for UTF-16 or
UTF-32; at this point as far as I understand it, LC has no idea that how to
correctly
I noticed something similar, but did not have a chance to dig into it. If
I copied the complex character that Geoff inserted (is that Kanji?) into
the string to search, I also got no results for UTF32. But, if I also
copied it into the string to find field, then the results worked
partially.
Thank you Brian for putting the test stack up. It makes it easier to test
various non-ASCII texts.
As your testing shows the UTF16 variant can be misleading.
Unfortunately I also found a case of UTF32 not working.

Hi all,
Read about new developments in LiveCode open source and the open source
community in today's edition of the "This Week in LiveCode" newsletter!

Malte,
Found it in the source:

As I suspected, it is related to the running process. We still need to
hear from the mothership about it but files in AppData/Local should be
Thanks Andre!
I guess I will have to wait for someone from the mothership to join in then. :-/
I am currently trying to get the OSS project I am stewarding approved by a
governmental agency and those files might be a showstopper, as I am not
supposed to leave traces in the system, besides
Malte,
I have no idea, but I am running the IDE here and I have two of those
files in that folder. Since they are named PID, I suspect that they
somehow hold information about the running process ID or something similar.

Hi,
Does anybody know what causes files to be created in
C:\Users\*\AppData\Local\._LiveCode_\ for a standalone under Windows 7? Does
this have something to do with the creation of UUIDs? Can the creation of those
files be avoided?
Cheers!
Malte
Hello all,
