Yes, I'm on a Mac. The frequent failure of Command-m isn't such a big deal as there's always the item for toggling the message box under the Tools menu. Still, it's irritating. I'm more bothered by the message box sitting open after a script has run. I know not to leave "empty" put statements lying ...

This is a basic question. Asking here anyway as I'm not a total newbie. I have a number of stacks/scripts for daily work use we generally run in the IDE, not as standalones, for a few reasons including frequent updating of the tools. Anyway, many scripts we run regularly finish leaving the message b...

Worked like a charm. Thanks.

I am getting an error message when I try to save a stack as a standalone application. Seems to affect all stacks. The stack I wish to save is just a mildly modified version of a stack I have saved as a standalone before. See attached image of the error message. Some details that are likely relevant....

Bingo. Thanks so much, SparkOut!

And if I replace tab & "abc" & tab with "#abc#" in myVar and then…

filter lines of myVar without "#abc#"

that doesn't work either. So there is something I am fundamentally missing about how the filter command is supposed to be used. Help?

Thanks in advance,

Sieg

Alas this doesn't help either.

"The other way around it may be to set your itemdelimiter to "comma" and filter tab & "abc" & tab, which would make 'tab' a part of the data and therefore searchable. Just remember to reset your itemdelimiter to tab afterwards."

Thank you Xero. I hear what you're saying… Sort of. The LC replace command will handle a string consisting of tab & "abc" & tab. And this works. put tab & "abc" & tab into findString get lineOffset(findString) in myVar So I don't understand why the filter command can't accept tab as part of a string...

Hello. I find myself at a loss in using the filter command. My instant problem: I have a tab-delimited list in a variable and wish to filter out all lines containing instances of the string tab & "abc" & tab. I've tried this with no success. put tab & "abc" & tab into cutString filter lines of myVar...

Thanks. Very helpful. Now LiveCloud support is telling me they believe the essential problem is their use of filename when they should have used effective filename in their initialization script for the database toolkit. Will be fixed in the next release, and obviously an easy fix to make for oneself.

Perhaps my question belongs in the Databases forum but I'll try here first. I'm working on a project to convert an existing app from a tool for managing data in a MySQL database to a tool for managing data in the new LiveCloud database product. I've asked LiveCloud support for help on the following ...

Thanks, Thierry! Both work with my data.

At least I think it's simple, though I've not figured out the syntax. How should I modify the following so that it works even if the contents of the table tag has a line break and sequence of spaces at the start of the second line? I've tried searching this forum but inevitably find discussions that...

Thank you, Jean-Marc. Great info to have but now I'm thinking there is simply something wrong with this stack. I ran a test using "repeat for each" on 194 lines of data. It took a couple minutes. Normally even with "repeat with" it should run through a short list like that in the blink of an eye. I'...

I'm not a complete beginner but hope this is a simple question. I have a script that checks whether each line in a variable (nuData) containing tab-delimited data is present or not in another variable (oldData) that also contains lines of tab-delimited records. If the record appears in both variable...
