Comparing 2 Spoken words, FFT function in LiveCode?

Does anyone know of an implementation of an FFT function written in LiveCode? I've tried joneslib but this doesn't include FFT. I'm hoping to use FFTs as part of my attempt to compare 2 short sound clips of people speaking a single word. I'm trying to judge whether a single word spoken by 2

Re: is a date

Exactly! I was elated to find the built-in "is a date" check, because I really wanted to NOT have to roll my own. I was THRILLED that our lovely English-like syntax was working FOR me. And then an integer was accepted as a legit date. I didn't like that at all. Why can't the engine have "is a

Old trick I learned in Foxpro. Convert something then convert it back and see if it is identical. put 20 into tDate put tDate into tOldDate convert tDate to dateitems convert tDate to short date return ((tDate is a date) and (tDate is tOldDate)) Bob S

quicken dates

Way back in the day, Quicken allowed all kinds of shenanigans with dates It allowed a variety of delimiters It allowed pseudo-dates: 20 -- 20th of the current month 10/20 -- 10/20/current year + -- tomorrow m -- first of this month h -- last of this month etc. I really like this, because it makes

Again, I would prefer a simple one-liner built-in function. What if instead of "is a date" returning true or false, it instead returned some expected outputs like "short, long, internet, seconds, ect.". Something short and sweet. ~Roger On Mon, Oct 16, 2017 at 12:56 PM, Bob Sneidar via

My experience is that adolescents have considerably less foibles than adults; merely that adolescents are honest enough to admit them openingly. However, what I meant was labelling a program with "don't do this" would produce the opposite with adolescents. Richmond. On 10/16/17 8:36 pm, Bob
