Klaus. Has to be the “ordinary" one in the IDE, also in the “Edit” menu, at the bottom. To be fair, that is in fact a stack, though that particular fact is not pertinent.

Search, Replace and Unicode
'Tis very easy to do this: on mouseUp replace ZaX with XaZ in fld TEKST end mouseUp and ZaXbbdsfZvfghXaasn will magically become: XaZbbdsfZvfghXaasn. So, clutching at straws, I tried this: on mouseUp set the useUnicode to true replace (numToChar(2367)) with (numToChar(105)) end mouseUp and, kaboom-diddy-boom-diddy-boom . . . it replaced all the instances of Unicode char 2367 with an 'i' (whacko), BUT . . . it also did something awful with the rest of the text in the fld; as far as I can see it 'deUnicoded' it. tried the same sort of thing like this: on mouseUp set the useUnicode to true replace (numToChar(2367)) with (numToChar(2311)) end mouseUp and got a right whoreson's.

Re: Search, Replace and Unicode
Now, of course, the real fun starts when one wants to play around with wild-cards so that one can, say, swap Z and X around in a unicodeText field that contains stuff like this: ZaXddZfXabcdeZoX as I am unclear how to do that with a non-unicodeText field, the next step seems a bit problematic, and, quite frankly, churning through 'ZaX',ZbX', 'ZcX', etc. (and I'm working with an abugida that features about 4000 glyphs . . . joy) seems tedious in the extreme. I thought about churning through a list of unicode addresses like this; on mouseUp put 2200 into CLICKER repeat until CLICKER = 5 set the useUnicode to true if the unicodeText of fld FIRST contains (numToChar(57888) numToChar(CLICKER) numToChar(57999)) then get the unicodeText of fld FIRST replace (numToChar(57888) numToChar(CLICKER) numToChar(57999))) with (numToChar(105) numToChar(CLICKER) numToChar(105)) in it set the unicodeText of fld FIRST to it end if add 1 to CLICKER end mouseUp and, theoretically, it works. the only thing that slightly fusses me about that is what happens if a unicode address is empty and/or I land up against a control character? ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

However, I cracked open my monster Sanskrit font and looked at it FontForge and realised that I was being fairly bl**dy silly crunching through thousands of irrelevant unicode addresses, so chopped things up into 3 REPEAT UNTIL loops for the unicode ranges that were relevant to my work: 2325 - 2431 57354 - 58498 61952 - 62738 giving a saving of some 58371 interations and boiling the whole thing down to about 5 seconds . . . that is on the same sample text I previously used. HOWEVER . . . now I will play around with setting lockMessages and lockScreen as per your suggestions to see if there is any appreciable gain. Phil; you state that you are not following the thread too closely; is that because it is not something that interests you, or do you have a stake in Unicode text manipulation but have been busy elsewhere. I sometimes get the feeling (err . . . paranoid) that I am the only person using RR Livecode who is doing 'serious sh*t' with unicodeText; but, hey, why should I worry?; in 1985, at the University of Durham, I was the only student trying to process text with PASCAL 5 while all the Physics students were crunching numbers.

(Sorry if these have already been answered; I'm not following the thread too closely) I really don't know as I am so thick those possibilities had not occurred to me. However, I cracked open my monster Sanskrit font and looked at it FontForge and realised that I was being fairly bl**dy silly crunching through thousands of irrelevant unicode addresses, so chopped things up into 3 REPEAT UNTIL loops for the unicode ranges that were relevant to my work: 2325 - 2431 57354 - 58498 61952 - 62738 giving a saving of some 58371 interations and boiling the whole thing down to about 5 seconds . . . that is on the same sample text I previously used. Wow! Nice gain. HOWEVER . . . now I will play around with setting lockMessages and lockScreen as per your suggestions to see if there is any appreciable gain. Phil; you state that you are not following the thread too closely; is that because it is not something that interests you, or do you have a stake in Unicode text manipulation but have been busy elsewhere. I am being dragged toward Unicode, kicking and screaming. It looms large in my future, as one client has asked me to add support for Arabic in his training system soon. But I don't have much experience with it. I'm hoping the improvements in LC 5.5 and beyond will make for a little smoother landing in UnicodeLand. I sometimes get the feeling (err . . . paranoid) that I am the only person using RR Livecode who is doing 'serious sh*t' with unicodeText; but, hey, why should I worry?; in 1985, at the University of Durham, I was the only student trying to process text with PASCAL 5 while all the Physics students were crunching numbers.
