Machine A will not know about machine B's changes and vice versa. If machine A saves its changes, and then machine B saves its changes, machine A's changes will be lost.

I saw at least die 8.0.2 DP-2 Windows version there. The Mac and Linux versions there show version 8.0.2. I'm not sure if they are DP-2, though. You may have to select "Show all" in die "Download options" pane. EDIT: Correction -- sorry, I see the 8.2.0 DP-2 Windows version is there, but only for Wi...

I also think it's a LC bug, so I posted my proof just to tease you all.

I knew that LC treats empty like the number zero in arithmetic operations. I just did not expect that the <= operator would disagree wirh the < and = operators when comparing empty with the number 0.

What made you think that your string of trials would lead you to the conclusion that empty had anything to do with 0? Just LC's logic. If LC says (empty < 0) is false, and (empty > 0) is false, but (empty <= 0) is true, and (empty >= 0) is true, then logically (empty = 0) must be true. I can also a...

empty is BIGGER than 0

LC told me it's not

Just some LC silliness to brighten your day: By testing the following statements one-by-one in the message box, I can't help but conclude that empty is equal to 0: put (empty < 0) put (empty > 0) put (empty <= 0) put (empty >= 0) And then to spite me, testing the following statement disproved my con...

Their effect is identical precisely because CR and LF in LiveCode have been defined as control character 10, even though they were supposed to be different.

Dear fellow LiveCode users, Just to help prevent some of you getting a bit confused as I have, please note that at the time of my writing this post, the word "CR" in LiveCode does NOT mean control character 13. Even though CR is supposed to mean "Carriage Return", the LiveCode engine has CR meaning ...

Sorry everyone, I found the reason for what seemed to be a bug in the replaceText function, but isn't. My confusion came as a result of CR and LF both being considered by LiveCode as control character 10. I expected CR to mean control character 13, but according to the LC dictionary, return, CR and ...

@stam, I agree with you that the regex "\R" is the correct one. I should have said, it seems like LiveCode's replaceText function wrongly interprets the regex "\n" as "\r", and doesn't correctly interpret the regex "\r". Sorry about swapping the two. Here's what convinced me of that: This code: loca...

if you want to capture all forms of a newLine char, use \R, not \r or \n....

Indeed the correct regex. It still bugs me that LiveCode wrongly interprets "\r" as "\n", though.

Will also work without "... lines of ..."! Yes, Klaus, I stand corrected. Something I've noticed while looking for an actual regex solution is that LiveCode wrongly interprets the regex "\r" as "\n". So the following regex-based code should work, but doesn't: put replaceText(replaceText(replaceText...

Hi James,

sorry I have no idea of REGEX, but doesn't:

Code: Select all

filter fld "xyz" without empty

do the trick?

Klaus

What Klaus said, except you may have to use the form "filter lines of".

@Craig,

Yes I have a Windows machine and the popup command works. We both came up with the same idea just a few minutes apart, but your button is named slightly better than mine.
