I could reproduce the exception being thrown. Thanks for pointing that one out to me.

Yes, that would make sense. Thanks for filling in a plausible explanation. My first reaction was disbelief, then anger, then frustration. (I'm relaxed again now... :)

Hi dickey, thanks! I have known this great method only for a month now, but have already begun to teach some aspects of the method in the classroom. When the students are 12, 13 years old, they are still eager to learn some "tricks of the trade", and the older ones (around 17 years of age) are glad ...

Hi Bernd, thanks for your kind words. Actually, I had never heard about the Trachtenberg method until only a month ago, but now I am eager to get to terms with its concepts, thus the training. Also, I am rather disappointed about the fact that so much of my time back in school has obviously been was...

Trachtenberg Speed Mathematics Trainer on RevOnline

Strange, someone seems to have deleted yesterday's post of mine about a stack I uploaded to RevOnline. My post did not constitute any commercial endorsement of anything, it just announced the publication of a self-made RunRev stack. With that stack, you can practice the "Trachtenberg Speed Method of...

The high-levelness is something that requires very flexible handling on the side of RunRev, and is certainly slower than specialized data types as found in many other programming languages, like C, Pascal, etc. On the other hand, for the programmer, this flexibility saves time when writing code. In ...

Hi Simon, I'll skip the part of your program that will have to deal with the reading in of the binary data from the file / seeking word n in the file and getting the value of word n into a variable. Once you have the value in word n, you might use the operators RunRev provides for processing binary ...

ASK without text input

Hi, when I ask the user whether s/he wants to confirm or cancel some operation, I use the ASK "Do you really want this?" contruct, as it shows an "OK" and a "Cancel" button by default. But is there a way to ask the user without the text input field that appears with the ASK? I really would like only...

Code: Select all

replaceText(t, "[ \t]+$", "")
removes spaces and tabs at the end of a string. Remove the "\t" if you only want spaces removed. Regards

Blowfish encrytion and decryption library on RevOnline

For all of you who need a strong encryption library yet don't want to buy a commercial library, I uploaded the stack "Blowfish..." to RevOnline. As I am new to RunRev, the programming could certainly be streamlined, but the library works, and is cross-platform, too.

Ahh Sturgis,

thank you. Why isn't this stuff (especially the API) not included with the docs that get installed when you download a new version of RunRev. Of course, that's only asked rhetorically... :?
