hi Craig, what I mean is that it look at what you send to RevPrintText, as a single print job, and it will eject the page after a print job.

pretty sure this has a billion solutions but doesn't get why this formfeed thingy doesn't work? make no sense according to the help function for me.

hi Craig

actually, nope, it doesn´t did test it by sending the print to pdf, and seem it just translated it to carriage return?

on the other hand, this
creates 3 pages with a single line of "hello world"

you are correct Craig, formfeed is ASCII 12 according to the dictionary of LiveCode

I know I have done it in Borland c version 2 on my old XT computer, but did not remember what the code was, is some time ago LOL

as far I get, it is a constant you can put in the text called formfeed that will force a page break assume you have the text like you want in a string called mytext you should be able to just write it like this put formfeed after mytext sadly I cannot test it, because my old wreck of a printer, no l...

Hi Craig, i did it this way -- Sent when the mouse is released after clicking -- pMouseButton specifies which mouse button was pressed on mouseUp pMouseButton local mTicks, mText put the ticks into mTicks put empty into field "2" repeat for each line tLine in field "1" if matchtext(tLine,"[X]\d{5}")...

yeah, twice the data, is typically more than twice the time. has tried to do some sorting algorithms, and about 10000 lines seem typical to be painfully slow.
wonder how it would be with a lot more lines, and if something like putting it in an array would help.

for me, 10000 lines of random text, with some hit and misses, takes 5 ticks with the filter variation, and something like 160 with the for each but if the hits are put into a string, and after that is put into the result field it is pretty much the same so seems to me it pretty fast, but yeah, the m...

darn it, had to check this filter thingy -- Sent when the mouse is released after clicking -- pMouseButton specifies which mouse button was pressed on mouseUp pMouseButton local mText put field "input" into mText filter lines of mText matching regex"[X]\d{5}" put mText into field "result" end mouseU...

seems this works for me -- Sent when the mouse is released after clicking -- pMouseButton specifies which mouse button was pressed -- Sent when the mouse is released after clicking -- pMouseButton specifies which mouse button was pressed on mouseUp pMouseButton put empty into field "result" repeat f...

just for fun

really not great, just a pretty quick thing

just wonder, is that you want to do to split the data, or to sort the data?

just wonder a bit about this, deleting chars -1 to -4 in a filename, where the end could be something like mytext.lz would make it to mytex. would it not be better to set itemdel to "." transfer item 1 to a new string, and then replace the original with the new string? would also fix a problem on Un...

If you want a fight, you can have a fight; but all that will happen will that everyone will have bloody noses. If, however, you approach Livecode in this way: 1. Don't expect everything to be on a spoon for you. [ When have you ever experienced that: after all, at school we have to make an effort a...

hide widget "spinner" show widget "spinner" VERY DIFFICULT! sure, but the thing is, why is it not in the example? and please get this, i don't saying that livecode is shit, only that i think they should do a bit more work on the examples they putting on the webpages. this one is also pretty easy to...

think livecode are pretty easy, but the spinner thing is a problem. i can find https://livecode.com/livecode-widgets-the-spinner-activity-indicator/ and its looks pretty easy, but i can't get it to work. the widget will spinn, but the point has to be to make the spinner to disappear? i only get a er...
