Hi, I am playing with a small program for storing friends contact info. I am using a data.txt file delimited by "|" for saving info to. The problem I have hit is HOW TO DELETE THE SELECTED CONTACT from the txt file properly? I am trying to delete the selected info from the txt file via another stack. I can delete the selected line no probs but thats it. The best way to understand is to see an example. I have attached the stack(s) and data.txt file for you to see.
For bandwidth considerations, attachments are stripped from submissions to this list before forwarding to list members. There are a lot of people here with a wide variety of connection speeds and billing plans, so in general it's considered good practice to only include a URL to a file in a list posting, so those who have the time and interest can download it leaving the others free not to.
When you read the file you can replace "|" with tab in the data set, and then putting it into a field will give you nice columns automatically if you set the vGrid of the field to true.
To delete a line you could have something like this in a "Delete" button:
on mouseUp
--
-- Allow user to cancel:
put the hilitedLine of fld "List" into tLine
answer "Delete line "&tLine&"?" with "Delete" or "Cancel"
if it is "Cancel" then exit to top
--
-- Delete the line:
delete line tLine of fld "List"
--
-- save to disk:
get fld "Disk"
replace tab with "|" in it
put it into url ("file:/folder/data.txt")
end mouseUp-- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation __________________________________________________ Rev tools and more: http://www.fourthworld.com/rev _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
