I also tried a .bat to .exe converter to create a test. exe to call from LiveCode. It works when I double-click the .exe in the Windows GUI, however, shell or launch LiveCode commands do not work with the "test. exe " either. For some reason the way LiveCode makes the shell or launch call is not all...

What is the string returned from the function? Unfortunately no string is returned when I attempt to run the test.bat file with the LiveCode shell command. There is just a blinking cursor, like it is waiting for something to happen. Does the command work in Window's shell? Yes, the output from the ...

Any way I can troubleshoot what is going on with the cmd shell? As far as I can tell at the moment, there is a bug with the shell command.

Is there any way I can monitor what is happening? I am stuck here.

Is that second argument a file path? If so it may need quotes around it. I believe it is a command. If I try "C:/PROGRA~2/PICO~1/PICOS~1/Ps.com /a ?" I get the same non-result. With that command, it should output a list of commands. Also, you can hide console windows by setting the hideConsoleWindo...

Thanks for the suggestion. If I do this, the response I get is "The system cannot find the path specified.".

I am trying to get some text output from a shell command. My script is something like this: put "C:/PROGRA~2/PICO~1/PICOS~1/Ps.com /a M.CSV?" into tCommand put shell (tCommand) When I run the script, the shell window opens, but there is no output (just a blinking cursor). I have to close the window ...

That's too bad!! I know a lot of old stacks use this feature, including tone dial, so that would affect conversions to LiveCode. Can this please be added as a feature request?

I remember in HyperCard you could do something like "play boing" with other parameters to change pitch and note duration. Is there any equivalent way of doing this in LiveCode? So far I have a stack that can play sounds in a folder I specify, but I would like to also play the sounds at different pit...

No password protection. I downloaded what was recommended by the download splash page, 7.0.0. I guess I'll wait until 7.0.2 is stable before transitioning to the new release.

I downloaded the latest version of LiveCode today and tried opening some stacks I was working on a few months ago and they could not be opened. The error I got was something it was not a stack. I downgraded to the stable 6.7.1 and was able to open them. Is there something I need to do to make these ...

Very nice! Do you have more info on making a C external and its source code? I am not at all familiar with C externals.

I am trying to come up with a method to automatically get and send all the contents of different fields and store them in a database. It would be for something like storing persistent values based on who is using the program. I was thinking if I can put all the fields in a group, and get all the nam...

Is anyone aware of a LiveCode web crawler? I have a website I am interested in backing up and want to have it do things with the data it crawls, such as categorizing, tagging, storing in a database structure, etc based on the content. I don't have a really concrete idea of what it will do, I am wond...

Are you saying that you are able to do an INSERT in SQL... but you don't know how to do a... SELECT ? ! :roll: Not exactly :D I like to ask here since I am not too familiar with SQL and am looking for efficient ways to input user data. It is very time consuming to design the user input aspect with ...
