TMTOWTDI

A very old mantra which applies to most of dynamic modern languages
including Livecode

By the way, I like Mark's one

Got it!

Thanks Monte.

https://github.com/runrev/livecode-ide/blob/master/IDE%20License.txt Thanks, Monte. Good move on their part. Thanks Monte for the link. But due to some neurologicgenetickarmalicensereading weakness, can't see where this MIT license is stated. :shock: Commercial license doesn't mean MIT , no? :roll:...

Hi Monte,

The IDE is open source and MIT licensed.

and

The engine is GPL and the IDE is MIT

So, IDE is "MIT and GPL" or only MIT?

Mind you pointing out where we can find the official statement?

I'm lost

Hi Sieg,

Can this regex be modified so that it will work even with CRs in the text?

Yes. Prefix your regex with (?ms); then the dot will match a cr..

I've tried a couple things in online regex testers that work but they fail in LiveCode.

Unfortunately, not that simple


HTH,

Hello Maria, Sparkout wakes me up to come here :) Ok, some thoughts: When testing the result of your regex, it would help to be a bit more precise, so you should have seen that your code with matchText() doesnt' exactly returns what you think. So you could try this one, instead: on mouseUp get match...

LOL..

Just apply a secret regex on your drawing...

Hi, Here I write the same regex as 2 posts above, but splitting the regex by part and trying to comment every step. Umm, let me know if it's easier to get into it then... One trick writting regex *in* Livecode (but be careful with it!): LC compiler being unhappy with: class=\"kfnt\" bgcolor=\" and t...

Hi Thierry, Thank you!!! It works! You're welcome :) Yes, I know they are swapped because they are different. Even though they are different, your code works. It is exactly what I want. Yes, that's what I meant. Taking into account different patterns. I like the idea of r1+r2. You are clever. Well,...

Hello Aras, I'm coming with a quick solution... Here I took 2 sets of your previous text samples and changed the values for testing: <td class="kfnt" bgcolor="#ffffff" height="20"> Aras fromTurkey</td> <td class="kfnt" bgcolor="#ffffff" height="20" width="107"> <p align="center">0,5</p> </td> <...

Great and very elegant function. Thanks. The attribute 'href' may be expanded by the attribute  'id', 'target', 'name' as these also give refs to jump to. Yes, I know. And even worse, you can have in your CSS this kind of reference too: div#header { background-image: url(images/sunny.jpg); :roll: }...

Hi Simon, Jacque and \w+,

This might be interesting to you:

Hello, My try :) I've been putting more logic in the regex: function findLinks myhtml local tList -- regex: (?msi)<a\s.*?href\s*=\s*["']?([^'">\s]+)["']? put the regex of me into regex repeat while matchChunk( myhtml,regex,pStart,pEnd) put 0 into tList[char pStart to pEnd of myhtml] delete char 1 to...
