LiveCode Forums.

Glad you got it sorted...

Unusual that Claude didn't find the issue... Did you user Claude Code in Desktop? I find the desktop simpler to use that in terminal.

It will inspect your local files directly and should have picked up this issue. Claude as a chat bot is fine, but Claude Code is orders ...

Does Claude Code comment its code and could simple example apps it creates be used as way of learning a language ?
…
Do you think it could help in refactoring the IDE stacks which are tortuous to work on by hand with no documentation?


Yes - if you go over a particular solution more than once it ...

As I might have mentioned (can’t be bothered to re-read my post :)), the app was already built as a web app using Xojo. The API was already built, and all the design had been done. I wanted some mobile companion apps that connected to the same database (MySQL) using the existing API.

My point was ...

This type of thing can usually be solved or mitigated using AI - I personally recommend Claude, but any AI will probably do.

Just literally copy the text of your question there and provide:
1. LiveCode version.
2. Xcode version.
3. Exact App Store Connect rejection text.
4. Whether any third-party ...

Is it possible the OP is talking about the form "do as AppleScript", and wants some data to return to LC?



Always possible, and as Bernd says, best to wait for the OP to clarify, but according to the initial post (emphasis mine):
The execution context is Applescript (e., I am not running ...

Hi Bernd,

I'm not sure that's the what the OP is asking but may be wrong.
Looks like they're using AppleScript independent of LiveCode but want to send an AppleScript event to LiveCode with a value to be processed there.

This strikes me as the wrong way round and my understanding is about the same ...

I'm not even sure where to begin with this.
The point blank refusal of wanting to understand or use regex is jaw-dropping...

I gave your links (well, 1st link) a glance. It seems OXT has gone as far as removing regex from the regex method, the actual reason for the existence of these functions. I ...

Try matchChunk like this:

put matchChunk("flop", "FLOP")

and LC will return 'true'.


Why are you using a regex method for string literal searching? matchText() and matchChunk() exist purely to bring regex, a pattern matching tool, to xTalk. If you want to search for string literals, use ...

Good effort

Another tip: use Codex or Claude Code (can analyse files directly on your system if you give it permissions) and it will diagnose your error for you...

The string and regularExpression are always case-sensitive, regardless of the setting of the caseSensitive property. (
That is what Richmond was on about. Do I still misunderstand?


Edited my response as there was an issue with my regex testing stack that meant the flags (?msiU) were always ...

You're not wrong.
I had built a web app and subsequently an API based on livecode server for use with companion apps originally intentioned for building in LiveCode.
(The API was for CRUD operations for the same MariaDB/MySQL DB). The API worked fine, but building the mobile apps in LiveCode was ...

Guys....... matchText uses regex as search criterion, and you've always been able to set case sensitivity in the regex expression.
MatchText() purpose in life is to bring regex to LiveCode (and OXT I presume).

If the OXT version of matchText has changed this so it doesn't use regex that's fine ...

I’ll be honest, the end of xxx as we know it applies to most small platforms.

AI will put all these platforms out of professional work. Why faff with some intermediary for a cross platform code base, when a simple set of commands to Claude Code will write the app for you in no time.

In less than ...

I am curious if anyone has tried handling real-time updates within LiveCode stacks?


updates for what? the app?
Yes - you could look at theSparkle framework for updates.
Or roll your own, you can access stacks online and download them.

I'm more curious about the choice to use sqlite ...
