Mark, The filler "1f41" is the hex number for 8001 decimal, which is the number of bytes of real data that is coming next. It looks like it is telling you how many bytes you are going to get (in hex), then giving you the bytes you want. The "1e7d" at the end might be the number of data bytes left over that don't fill out the last chunk of 8001.
Why it does that I don't know.

Altogether, there are approximately 10000 lines in my list, with one word on each line. Both the PHP script and the LiveCode script run on Mac OS X. I use a put URL command in my LiveCode script, such as put url "http://localhost/~user/list.php"; The relevant part of the PHP script is: $q="SELECT xword FROM ydatabase"; $r=mysql_query($q); if (!$r) { echo 'An error occurred: '.mysql_error(); } else { while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($r)) { echo "$row[0]\n"; } } Exactly every 8001 bytes (or 889 words, which are all different), I get some garbage: 1f41 AAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAB [889 times] AAAAAAAAC 1f41 AAAAAAAAP AAAAAAAAQ [889 times] AAAAAAAAR etc etc etc BBBBBBBBX 1e7d The garbage is often the same but not always and it appears before the first line and after the last line. I have tried several combinations of the content-type and content-transfer-encoding headers in PHP. I have also tried changing the encoding of the PHP script itself. If I call the same URL from CURL and pipe the output to a text file or if I open the URL in a browser, I don't see any garbage: AAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAB [889 times] AAAAAAAAC AAAAAAAAP AAAAAAAAQ [889 times] AAAAAAAAR etc etc etc BBBBBBBBX Does anyone have an idea what causes LiveCode to add garbage to my list? -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Use Color Converter to convert CMYK, RGB, RAL, XYZ, H.Lab and other colour spaces. http://www.color-converter.com _______________________________________________ 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 _______________________________________________ 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
