good luck getting Rev to work properly, it's full of bugs and they refuse
to fix them. All they want you to do is to purchase, yet again, another
upgrade. I can't even connect to ODBC databases and I have 2.9.
This company is run by a moron.

Rev 2.9 running on Ubuntu 7.10 using postgres 8.3.3. revNumberOfRecords returns -1 Query builder doesn't even work. I hit the + sign and nothing happens; all of the items are disabled except for the tabs which do click back and forth. revOpenDatabase does work. revQueryDatabase partially works; it r...

quick question. I want a field on one of my tabs that will let clients insert ad hoc code. If I write a custom function or handler, let's call it 'DoSomething()', and I have some code like this: repeat for each line someLine in field "suchandsuch" put DoSomething(someLine) into SomeValue answer Some...

List field contains 1,2,3,4,5,infinity; one to each line. The SLF only shows one item at a time. what is the code to grab the value that is showing? The items are not 'selected' in the normal sense, they are up or down arrowed. apparently I can't just use put field "spider.depth" into someval all th...

can you believe this. I have 2.9 and it doesn't support nested arrays. This product has been out for over 10 years - they support all kinds of stupid stuff like video, but they don't have the absolute basics; it's unbelievable. what kind of moron builds a development system and doesn't immediately u...

hi, here's a code snippet: repeat for each line thisLine in field ParsingCurrent.HTMLText.Field if matchText(thisLine,"(?Usi)(/\w+@[a-z_]+\.[a-z]{2,})",matchedEmail) then put matchedEmail after matchedList end repeat I have tried this several different ways. I even used only "(?Usi)href" as the rege...

I just reread your post, do you want my dmesg?

I didn't realize that children would be entering into an adult's technical forum. I certainly take no umbrage to editing, but to edit because it might offend a 'Professional' is nearsighted and juvenile. There is no such thing as a professional. I have three graduate degrees, one of which is a law d...

where is the comment in the mailing list?

Where is the Rev XML demo stack?

I'm using 2.9, is it in there?
or do I have to download it from somewhere?
or is it only available for 3.0?

thanks

thanks

thanks

has anyone a link to a white paper that has a complete segment of code that shows how to parse xml? Dumb Rev books and online docs have no examples. I went to search online docs and put in "parse xml" and go NO hits. Are these people just stupid? Parsing XML is a critical need in development and the...

[Edited by assistant moderator on 19 April @ 8:13PDT] I'm using 2.9 on a thinkpad T60 using Ubuntu 7.10 and I'll tell you, I have system crashes all the time. The whole computer crashes. mouseEnter works when I'm not in runtime and keeps me from being able to edit groups, so I have to disable the f...

I figured out why it doesn't work, but haven't found a solution.

When I tab to the field, it works. When I click on the field
and openField triggers, the placing of the cursor wipes out
the hilite.
