Aloha,

The last "put" command is wrong. This one:

>   put URL (tHttpsServerRoot & sStoryTitle & "/" & sStoryTitle &
".livecode") into tLocalDocumentsStories & sStoryTitle & "/" & sStoryTitle
& ".livecode"

It should have been:

   put URL (tHttpsServerRoot & sStoryTitle & "/" & sStoryTitle &
".livecode") into ("binfile:" & tLocalDocumentsStories & sStoryTitle & "/"
& sStoryTitle & ".livecode")

Also, there is a strange comment before the word "into" when you're setting
tHttpsServerRoot.

Best

Re: Getting URL to Work in specialFolderDocuments

2020-10-05 Thread Bernard Devlin via use-livecode

 Hi

I get a headache looking at concatenations like this.  I don't use them
unless I'm constructing a simple string.

  put URL (tHttpsServerRoot & sStoryTitle & "/" & sStoryTitle &
".livecode") into tLocalDocumentsStories & sStoryTitle & "/" & sStoryTitle
& ".livecode"

It will be a cold day in hell when I don't use Merge() to construct
non-simple strings.

*put* "blurb1" into sStoryTitle

*put* "https://dev.himalayanacademy.com/media/stories/; into
tHttpsServerRoot

*put* specialFolderPath("Documents") & "/SivaSivaApp/media/stories/" into
tLocalDocumentsStories

*if* char -1 of tHttpsServerRoot is "/" *then* *delete* char -1 of
tHttpsServerRoot ## deleting "/" to make merge() template clearer

*if* char -1 of tLocalDocumentsStories is "/" *then* *delete* char -1 of
 tLocalDocumentsStories

*put* merge(  "[[tHttpsServerRoot
]]/[[sStoryTitle]]/[[sStoryTitle]].livecode" ) into tSourceURL

*put* merge( "binfile:[[tLocalDocumentsStories]]/[[
sStoryTitle]]/[[sStoryTitle]].livecode" ) into tDestURL
put URL  tSourceURL into URL tDestURL


On each of the above lines one can use breakpoints to check the values of
the variables and at the last line check that the URLs to use are correct.

Merge() will ignore spaces within [[]] and outside of the quotes around the
template string, so one can line up placeholders to check that all the
template parts match visually.

HTH

Re: Getting URL to Work in specialFolderDocuments

2020-10-02 Thread Bob Sneidar via use-livecode

You are putting a file from a url into a variable called tLocalDocumentsStories 
& sStoryTitle & "/" & sStoryTitle & ".livecode”. You should probably have a 
variable with the full path to the file: 

put tLocalDocumentsStories & sStoryTitle & "/" & sStoryTitle & ".livecode” into 
tFilePath

Then put the file from the url into the location using the URL command:

put URL (tHttpsServerRoot & sStoryTitle & "/" & sStoryTitle & ".livecode”) into 
URL (“binfile:” & tFilePath

The problem with trying to put all the fiddlybits into one line is that you 
cannot tell where things are going wrong. You sacrifice readability and ease of 
debugging for compact code, and with Livecode, do we really need compact code?
