Good afternoon LC'ers (evening to some),
Enjoyed the Zoom chat today and it was good to see all of your faces

I did an uninstall of the Android Studio and re-installed it. After that,
it worked. Go figure!

Richard,
It took me two attempts at the Android Studio install. I realized during
the first attempt that I had cut it short before it had finished
everything. After re-installing, it worked just fine.

Any trick to connecting to an AWS Sql instance? I am using some of my old
scripts that always hooked up properly to a local Sql server. Wondering if
I might be a trick for AWS or heck, my method might be old and there is a
better way to do it.
*put revOpenDatabase("ODBC","DRIVER=SQL
Server;SERVE
I forgot to mention that I am on a Mac... also very new to me. This might
also have something to do with how the SQL connection script is written.

I have 15 "jobs" that need to be assigned to 7 "drivers". How would you
evenly distribute the jobs to the drivers? In this case one of the drivers
would have 3 jobs while the others have two.
Obviously, the number of drivers and number of jobs would fluctuate.

Good afternoon LC'ers,
I am loading a tab delimited file into a variable and I need to pull out
all unique names from a certain column (let's say column 10) and count how
many times that name appears in that column.
I know there has to be an easy way of doing it. Every time I try to start
coding
You should get back an array keyed by the unique names, and how many

Greetings!
Been a while since I have been on this list. Working on a new project and
wondering if the backing up of Livecode files to Github was ever
implemented and created. I know there was talk of it at one time.
I apologize if it has been in place for a while and I am just out of the

Has anybody done anything with LC and AR?
