Marvin's Paranoid Backup Script
Even though I save my projects in a folder in my dropbox which allows me to go back 2 hundreds of previous version. I still lose a lot of work when livecode crashes - and it does far too frequently - usually when I have been using the debugger. Oh but you should save every 5/10 minutes I hear you sa...

Re: Matchtext/Regex Case Insensitive Flag
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. (If you need to make a case-insensitive comparison, use "(?i)" at the start of the regularExpression to make the matc...

Re: Matchtext/Regex Case Insensitive Flag
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...

Re: How to check if the date is today or note
Hi jacque
Thanks for edifying me on that. I thought about the seconds but didn't know it used midnight for all , I just assumed it was "Real Seconds"
and didn't want (know how?) to make the adjustment.
Regards Lagi
