Hi Richard and Walt,
The folder that I need to read contains files that contain logging information about processes that run in batch oriented applications - fetch records and send email. When the application starts up it creates a text file called "inprocess.txt". This is so that another process ...

Hi Richard,
On my Win7 computer, it takes 30 seconds just to process the script line "put the detailed files into tFiles".

Here's the script:

command StartProcess pFolder, pFilename
put the defaultFolder into defFolder
set the defaultFolder to pFolder

put the detailed files into tFiles ...

Hi Craig,
I'm not sure how to get the modified date and time of the file from your suggestion of using "read from file".
Can you please elaborate?

Thanx,

Hi all,
I need to get the modified date and time from a file that resides in a folder with thousands of files.
Using the "detailed files" is way too slow as it has to get all the files.

So is there a direct way, with the path and file name, to get the information from the file?

Thanx,
Mark Stuart

I failed in posting the application ZIP file, because the attachment max file size is 256KB on this forum, and I don't have a web site for you to download it from.
You can email me offline and I can email the ZIP file that way.

I have both WIN and OSX Intel versions available. Let me know which ...

How about something like this that I put together a few years ago, and I use it daily. But it only reads the mail list.

Hi Michael,
If you need a tool to manage a SQLITE database, and if you have FireFox, check FireFox's Add in manager and search for SQLite Manager, it's free.
This is what I've been using recently.

After using the manager interface, it displays the CREATE DATABASE, CREATE TABLE, and CREATE INDEX ...

Hi Jan and bn,
Awesome suggestions that I had no idea how to do, so thank you both.
I'm currently in the midst of releasing a new version of our companies software product (CRM) in my day job, so will try your suggestions real soon. And post the results here.

Hi Bernd,

Haven't tried your code as yet, but does it capture the "overlay" as well?

What I would like to do...
Option to "flatten the image" to not only capture the original image, but also the "additions" by the user into the "overlay" image. Basically, this would combine all overlays into one ...

Bernd,

I did as you suggested, and that worked for me.

On a test stack, I imported an image, added an image object (the overlay), set the Blending level to 60. Manually selected the brush and set the color. "Swiped" over the image and walla - it works, I have transparency on the overlay.

Now to ...

Ouch!

Danke Klaus.
I'll submit an enhancement request.

Hi all,
I posted this question on the rev-list and got no answer as yet. So here goes.
Can the brushColor have a transparency to it?

eg: in my application, the user can import a snapshot and then with a click of a button, set the tool to a brush and then pick a color (yellow) to hilite part of the ...

How about if you just hit the Enter key (while the control is selected) and the control goes into edit mode to edit the Contents of the control. Once you are done editing the control, just press Enter again, and you're done.

Now if you need to add a new line while in edit mode, hit Shift+Enter keys ...

Hi Mark, thanx for your reply.

With that situation it would be alot simpler, but the issue here is, the program doesn't know the placement of the columns - check out Excel's Text Import Wizard if you have it. This is the situation the program would be in, after the user has selected a text file ...

Hi all,

I have a columnar formatted text file that I'd like to "import" into a SQL
database, using RunRev on WinXP.

I'd like the RunRev program to have features similar to Excel's Text Import
Wizard:

- open file dialog
- raw display of first 100 or so lines of chosen text file
- allow user to ...
