1-post forum bot spotting

Abstract board games.

This is why I am using OXT and HyperXtalk, as the type of programming I do (working with dead languages with highly complex writing systems) is not doable with AI.

OXT and HyperXtalk ARE LiveCode Community ++ IDEs with no AI whatsoever (even though HXT is being built with AI).

LC 'Classic' has had it.

So you have a choice:

1. Pay up and move to LiveCode Create.

2. Work with OXT Lite.

3. Work with HyperXtalk.

4. Python, C#, F#, Xojo, . . .

After many years of 'cross-platform pain' (which left me very CROSS indeed), I have come to a stage where I do my development on Mac, but then 'fool around a bit' with my source stack on Windows and Xubuntu, and make standalones for the respective operating systems 'natively'.

'Develop once' does ...

Virtualisation is always a second-class solution.

Round where I stay I have about 6 old pieces of junk that cost me about €25 each for testing stuff on various types of Linux and Haiku OS (my current fetish).

That support list is as old as the hills.

I run LC open source 9.6.3, and OXT Lite 1.15 on Xubuntu 26.04 with no noticeable problems.

Instead of installing a Linux distro in a virtualisation environment why not buy a cheap, second-hand PC laptop and install Linux on that?

That might be a 'clever' bot: considering it is a single post

Indeed: but your title is interesting, so it would be wonderful if you at least describe what you are trying to do.

Somebody else, somewhere else, said something else: and they ken it well:

And I do believe that an awful lot of people who use these forums would profit from also following:

Try matchChunk like this:
and LC will return 'true'.

Exactly, so . . . err . . . jump ship.

In the upcoming release of OXT Lite (1.15) matchText can have case sensitivity set to true or false.

Certainly 'The end of LiveCode as we know it", but NOT the end of either LiveCode or its open source forks.

Although I do have a feeling that unless LiveCode can get CREATE out of the dry-dock and bobbing on the water fairly licketty-split it might be the end of something.
