Re: Native mobile field which allows highlighting and copying but not editing
This (and many other things) would be easily accomplished with a LC field, if LC's mobile engine had Clipboard support. This request has been outstanding for some time: https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=19990 I'm unaware of a method to use the OS-native editable fields as non-editable. If...

Re: Hedera Hashgraph
There were two, but I deleted your duplicate post. Please post a given topic in only one place so people know where to reply. Most Web3 apps are open source, and LC discontinued their open source edition some years ago. If you can tell us a bit about how you envision using LC for this project I migh...

Re: Reading and writing text to / from a file
SQLite is a relational database system. No one said it wasn't a relational database; it's not an RDMBS . You're fine with "RDBS" but not "RDBMS"? What did "M" do to raise your ire? SQLite can be used as a substitute for ZIP archives or Tarballs. I would not make that recommendation. Well that is of...

Re: Chi-square
Nicely done, Stam. Thanks for posting that.
Back in the open source era I'd hoped it might last long enough to attract contributions for a stats lib and others. Much better than shelling out to some other language. Maybe this will inspire more.

Re: Reading and writing text to / from a file
Why rush to a stent when some patients only need a cleaner diet and some exercise? Of course the answer will depend on the patient. Poor example I'm afraid - one option is treatment and the other prevention - you can't prevent with treatment and you can't treat with prevention - you can only preven...

Re: Reading and writing text to / from a file
Ultimately however I still think an sqlite database would be a) safer, b) quicker with the number of records discussed here. a) Safer in what way? b) Quicker only for certain operations, and slower for others. Safer because it’s less prone to random errors. Deleting 1 char in a text file (a column ...

Re: Reading and writing text to / from a file
I have a file with 50,000 rows of about 25 chars per row. I only need to read roughly the most recent 200 rows until something is true and it saves time not to load the entire file using put ULR "file:filename" into tWhatever What is the evaluation test you're performing? It may also be useful to s...

Re: Integrating Live Code with AI for Enhanced Functionality
You could make an IDE plugin with two fields, one for the prompt to a GPT API and the other for the response, with a Copy button to put it in your script editor.
Later you could learn enough about the script editor to put it there directly.
Have you used HTTP APIs for GPT?

I can't imagine how you could get that impression. It's been less than a day since he posted his question.

Re: Another reason to stick with LiveCode?
Nothing is 100% safe. I think you nailed it right there. What we're seeing is a difference between professional and lay reporting, similar to how medical journals and blogs reporting on their articles sometimes differ (Nature's "Myocarditis among Covid-vaccinated patients" being among the most famo...

Re: Another reason to stick with LiveCode?
Since it seems I need to clarify my post: LiveCode language is memory safe because you don't deal with memory allocation/deallocation through the language. Perhaps something to celebrate. This is the point of my post. The misunderstanding here seems to stem from LiveCode's decision to have "LiveCod...

Only one of those variables is declared as global. What happens if you comment the global declaration?

Re: creat game" flappy birds"
I've tried reaching out to Cyril on LinkedIn, but he's not very active there so I don't expect a response.
If anyone here can reach him, I'd be happy to provide hosting for his LC collection at livecodejournal.com
