Curious no terminating 'end if' on that if then

Hum, yes, you're right. It is a (bad) habit that I took from the time of Hypercard.

Well, it appears my previous script doesn't work on Windows 10. This one was successfully tested on MacOS, Windows 7 and Windows 10: function isConnected // return boolean put "google.com" into tUrl if (the platform <> "MacOS") then put "ping -n 1 " & tUrl & " > NUL && echo 1 || echo 0" into cmd set...

Considering the results I received outside of 'ping', again, I'm not really sure this site is a good example site even for the 2nd part of the thread. Despite the fact that this website seems to have trouble, as far as I know, all shared websites hosted at OVH don't respond to pings. But you're rig...

No, but all websites that are reachable return 'something', and you can test for that I found this: The responses to pings have been disabled by OVH on shared hosting. It can be tested with "durandexpertises.com" on mouseUp get "durandexpertises.com" put shell("ping " & it &" -c1") into fld "respon...

Please copy/paste field 2's result, or give me an example address, cause without anything to go on, I can't possibly improve the solution for you :P Well, it was in fact a friend's website in development, so maybe he has made some kind of special Apache settings. Sorry. I will post URL here if I fi...

Unfortunately, some websites don't answer pings. No, but all websites that are reachable return 'something', and you can test for that, the test doesn't have to be what I wrote up there, that was just a q&d example :P Well, I tested some websites with your shell script, and for some of them I had s...

Interesting solution, bogs. MacOS version of your script: on mouseUp put shell("ping " & field 1 &" -c1") into field 2 if matchText( field 2,"1 packets received") is false then answer "No Connection" else answer "You are connected." end mouseUp Unfortunately, some websites don't answer pings. So you...

This script works fine, but I have to wait about 15 seconds to have an answer if I'm disconnected.

Very interesting links, thanks :) Meanwhile, I tried to play with tsNetSetTimeouts command, without great success. The only way to have a quick answer from server (OK, you're connected, or can't resolve DNS) would be to insert tsNetClose tsNetInit before sending tsNetHeadSync command. This is quite ...

Maybe this will help.

Thank you for your reply Paul, but I read these documentations from two days, and it doesn't really help me... Unless I miss an important info.

Hello, Using LC Indy 9.04, I would like to test if an internet connection is available from a stack. What is the best way to perform such a test with tsNet? I tried the following test with an ethernet cable and without wifi: 1 - ethernet cable connected: recovery of headers from google.com with tsNe...

Using the built-in Dictionary (available from the main tool bar), you can filter LC vocabulary with these keywords:

command
library
constant
message
control structure
object
function
operator
glossary
property
handler
widget
keyword

Thank you for your answers.
"librarystack" message can be very convenient indeed.

Hello, After reading the Dictionary, I can't see significant differences between: start using stack and insert the script of stack "myStack" into back Message libraryStack doesn't seem to be sent with the insert the script command. Is there other differences, and what is the best solution to use a s...

Thank you for your answers. This works fine :) put "https://livecode.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/multiplatform-2-1018x1024.jpg" into tUrl set the filename of image "ImgTemp" to tUrl -- hidden "Image" object set the backgroundPattern of graphic "GraphicTest" to (the id of image "ImgTemp") As the f...
