LiveCode Forums.

Thanks. And yes, I was going to ask where in the dictionary is this but you answer that!
Will try this tomorrow.
Much apreciated.

HI,
Whenever I open Livecode I'm always spending a minute or two placing my windows.

If I understand correctly I could probably deal with this by creating a simple plugin.

So my questions are:

1. In a script can I get a list of all open stacks?

2. How would I open the Script Editor, Property ...

I was told they were being recorded. Some wouldn't make sense though, like hacking sessions.

Previous conferences have made good effort to record pretty much everything. Though the quality might be a bit rough on some.

Worked beautifully, thanks Klaus!

I should add, the .DMP file is just a text file, but it would be nice to limit the user to that extension when they chose a file. thanks!

HI
Very basic question (I hope).

I need to create an open button which opens a .DMP file (which is just a text file from a database dump)
and place it into a text field.

I was having two issues, now to limit the section to .DMP files, then how to get that into the text field.

thanks!

HI,

Thanks!

I code get Xode 6.4 working with both my version of Livecode.

I couldn't get Xode 7.2 working, but that's not an issue for now.

best regards.

Hi,

I had Livecode 7.1.1 (rc4) and Xcode 6.4 on my machine and the simulator was working fine.

Then I installed Livecode 8.0 (dp10) and Xcode 7.2 (I left both Xode's in my app folder, just named them differently)

and now the test and test target menu's are grey so I can't run the iOS simulator ...

Thanks, they both work!

Risking dumb question of the week, who do I get the second line to interpret as the variable

on mouseUp


put "hello" into station3
put 3 into x

answer station & x // I'd like a concatenation to be interpreted as the variable station3 to answer as "hello" but it's station3 the string
answer ...

that works, yes, I used to do similar with prepress processing of files (though with apple script). Good idea. could probably just have one file in the folder at any time....thx

Oops, yes, good advice!

Like a timer, then yes.

File names have a number on them, new files a higher number.

So build a recursive handler, each time it get a list off all the file names in a folder with a loop. Sort to find the highest number.

That make sense?

thanks!

HI, timing is pretty critical. I'd like to know within a second or two.

I'm trying to build a poker calculator for online play and some tracking software. It's been done before but it's a fun little project to work on while I do the Create It course.

So once a hand is finished a text file drops ...

Hi,
I've got a folder with a few hundred (to a few thousand) text files in it.
Every 3-30 seconds a new text file will appear in it.

I'd like to know what the new file is (i.e. it's filename) so I can open run so tests on its contents.

Any suggestions as to what the most elegant way to tackle ...
