LiveCode Forums.

Hi Bankgkok. Thanks for replying. However, the word I'm finding is not more than one word. The fact that it is a contiguous set of characters means that livecode is seeing it as one word. Here's something else: If I use put "<li><span class=" & quote & "official " is in field htmlsource it returns t...

Maybe a shorter way of asking about my issue about this above is this: how can I locate words or phrases within html code, when they're not necessarily separated by spaces? Wordoffset won't identify a word unless it is separated by spaces. If I can figure out how to do this, I won't need to much aro...

I'm trying to grab the URL on any given wikipedia page, for the "official website" shown in "External Links". I grab the HTML source for the wikipedia page in question and then am attempting to use the wordoffset to find the URL string. The URL I want is always preceeded by the code <li><span class=...

What's the easiest way to take a large amount of text (such as the source code for an entire HTML page) and look for a certain string of text - like a lable. And then when I find that, to copy the URL that follows that string into a variable?

Thanks.

Sorry if this is a question with an obvious answer, but I haven't been able to figure it out... I've succeeded at having a youtube video appear within a image ar I've created an image area, and by using revbrowser am able to have a youtube video to play in the area. So success to this point.

Best Klaus Go to> widgets dawt grooveshark dawt com slash widgets. (Putting it that way, cause my forum permissions do...

Anyone have experience embedding the grooveshark widget (music player) into a livecode app? Does it have to be done via revBrowser, or can you eliminate the need to launch a browser window and simply embed the widget on a livecode card?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Code: Select all

put toUpper(char 1 of word 1 of field "test") into char 1 of word 1 of field "test"

Thanks for your help. The code above is what I thought should work, but I didn't have it exactly quite right. But this now works. Appreciate it.

What's the easiest most direct way to change only the first character in a word to uppercase, leaving the rest to lower case?

Thanks in advance...
