SWEdeAndy, I'd also be very curious if you have any similar workarounds concerning file I/O (writing to and from local files on a Mac/Linux/Windows etc) -- and/or the ability to accept clipboard data from a user (incoming) . File I/O - even just text - would be magic! Marc You'll be happy to see th...

Thanks for the update Stam. I would assume the same, namely that it is not functionality that exists, but I will look into your link to what Zax managed to do. It might be ok for me as I'm building for MacOS only at the moment. Your custom icons might work for some better visuals in the meantime. Th...

It appears this thread ended here, back in 2021. But I too would like to know if there is an LC library to pull up the Finder icon of a given file (on MacOS or on any other desktop OS). Has this question been explore elsewhere that I am not aware of?

I have been wanting a key to .EML for at least ten years! This is better than I hoped for. Thanks for all your patience

Using my example, e.g. store the images on the desktop ... put the keys of tAt into tFilenames repeat with i = 1 to the num of lines of tFilenames ## tFileName now contains the name of the first KEY of tAt put line i of tFilenames into tFileName ## Save the images on the desktop: put base64decode(t...

Yes, I can see them. I'm so close! What I don't know is how syntactically to address them or to get their names for further manipulation.

Hi Klaus
Very exciting... I tried the following and as you can see came very close (to 3 .jpg files), but tAt was empty. I know I need to address one of them, but how? Marc

Avec plaisir, mon ami! :) Feel free to ask if you get stuck. Je suis tres reconnaissant, mon ami! This is the key to maybe 30,000+ old email files going back years which I have had very limited ways to manipulate. Very excited about this, and for future applications. When I saw EMLParser I knew I n...

Thanks so much Klaus! I wish I had time right now to study this but I quickly put it into my button and it works like magic! I'm sure I will be able to figure it out when I have a moment. Thank you so much for this and for your comments in the code. I really need to get my mind around the nature of ...

Klaus, I'm still mystified about how you are getting the body. Could I ask you to write a commented button (just a minimal number of lines) that collects an .EML file and pulls out it's Body in plain text? Then maybe I'd understand better how an array is structured and how you address the various pa...

Hi Klaus
I'm a little confused. I am unable to get plain text with your suggested line
put textdecode(tBody,"utf8") into tBodyClean
It appears to remain the same as tBody (HTML)
Marc

Wonderful! Thanks, Klaus. I do not understand arrays very well, but I did successfully get all the parts I needed (sort of!) I cobbled this together from what you sent and the tutorial I was originally following: on mouseUp answer file "EML" put url("binfile:" & it) into tData local tEMLArray, tBody...

Thanks. Duh... I'm sure this was a lapse of memory on my part! Visiting the Dictionary entry was very helpful. Still it's pretty paltry information there, I find. Screen Shot 2024-02-19 at 10.44.03 AM.jpg I tried put getHeaders(field "fileurl") -- a valid pathname of an EML file put getHeaders(it) -...

Hi, I too bought the Enhancements Pack last fall. I am just getting around to exploring EMLParser and the only info I found on it's use is https://livecode-lessons-copy.screenstepslive.com/m/4071/l/1609499-parsing-your-emails-using-emlparser Where can I find the full EMLParser documentation?
