Hi Mark,

Thanks for your help so far. After a lot of experimenting and tweaking code, I've decided to instead just do "set the hideconsolewindows to false" so the user will have a means to cancel the operation and maybe have info which will be given by the shell. Even though a crude means, I ...

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your help this far.

I have tried to experiment with the launch command but I have found out that even though it does not block the entire interface, there is no way way of making it work with a feature similar to the openprocesses/close process functions (except the kill ...

Hi Mark,

Unfortunately this is not only about passwords.
It appears that the best solution would be for someone to install expect in their system and revolution worked as a launcher of an expect script and its arguments.

In that case, I would like to ask the following: Is there a way to do a non ...

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, writing to a file and accessing it after a while is not ideal in this case. What I am trying to do is have my program work interactively with the process, as in an expect script so I need real-time access to the output of the process. For instance ...

Hi.

Is there a way to do a "non-blocking" read from process so to speak? In particular, i am reading a certain process that can end with a number of strings so a 'read from process until "such and such a string"' would not work (i guess if there would be a way to say "read from process until ...

Hi.

I was wondering if there was a way to make an open process interactive, or better said be able to enter more input to that command line or shell before the close process, something like a rudimentary expect .
For instance, say that someone wants to launch a telnet command through a revolution ...

Thank you both for this solution, it worked like a charm. I have to ask though,

PS: To get out of the repeat loop, try command + period.

What did you mean by this malte? You completely lost me there. Is it possible to provide an example for future reference?

Thanks.

Hi.

I'm having an interesting challenge, at least for my standards of transcript knowledge. I want to poll in realtime (or at least refresh every 2 seconds or so) the contents of a file and display them in a scrolling field.

Unfortunately if I put:


repeat while condition="true"
read from file ...

Makes sense.
I've just realized that this actually exists in the transcript language reference but I had failed to see it as the comments for this are on the next page...

Thanks for your time.

Hi.

For some reason, the on pasteKey is giving me grief. I need to check the clipboarddata, and if a condition is true, paste the data and enable a button but revolution ignores me. I even tried:

on pasteKey
answer "PASTE"
end pasteKey

but for some reason it acts as if there is no such code ...

Hi guys.

I appreciate your help. This is what I did:

on closeStack
if the environment is "development" then
close this stack
else
lock messages
quit
end if
end closeStack


which worked like a charm.

Thanks.

P.S: Do you think we should move it out of the "Windows" category, since I see ...

Hi.

It seems that my processes never die when the executable has been built by Revolution, but hang even after the stacks close (this does not happen to a specific application, but to everything I have attempted to build as a standalone). I always check both "purge stack on close" as well as "purge ...

Great news. Thanks.

The replaceText function does not seem to embody (or perhaps no documentation exists to support) all regular expression statements as the perl ~s or the python re.sub, even though the docs state "Searches for a regular expression and replaces the portions that match the regular expression". More ...

Revolution studio's installation procedure has changed a bit. Unfortunately, the path where the application is to be installed has to end in "Revolution Studio", even in custom install. This is not ideal to upgrading users since I suppose there are a few of us who have installed in other places (me ...
