Even though I save my projects in a folder in my dropbox which allows me to go back 2 hundreds of previous version.

Thanks Thierry RTFM (read The Fine Manual) Went back and saw this The string and regularExpression are always case-sensitive, regardless of the setting of the caseSensitive property.

Hi Since nobody has piped up I have to assume it doesn't work and since the livecode documentation says it is PCRE compatible that means it's a bug. Or is this just an Undocumented Feature? I even used s"et the casesensitive to false" and that had no effect either so I have reverted to a kludge by e...

Hi I've been trying to get Matchtext to match 3 diifferent words but just incase wanted too make it case insensitive. In my current routine it doesn't really matter.

Hi "the date" - will get you today's date but that will return "03/30/15" for me today (30th of March 2015) the American English Format so I need the system date which will pass back the date in the User's home country format (i.e. what is setup in the regional settings) So putting "30/03/2015" into...

Hi After another couple of hours where my meticulous naming conventions lost the plot ... And I mixed up EditCellofIndex for editcell (quite why index is different to the row when I only loaded 4 rows in the content field I'll never know, unless its to do with headers sorting the columns). Anyway he...

HI WE have all these handlers we can "override" like closefield , exitfield, focusin, focusout , enterinfield (which is actually the RETURN key ) enter is the key on the numeric keypad. They are not consistent as to when they are called - Ive tried to call closefield from the datagrid script, the co...
