Thanks you both very much. You gave me the solution.

Hi, I have a stack with just one card. This card contains many objects and the user can create more of these. The objects in the card are groups of fields and graphics (think of a mind-mapper app). At some point there's more objects in the card that can fit the screen of a laptop mac, so I need to c...

Great! In fact this is the first reason I know of to swift to 8.

Thanks a lot

HI all,

Did anybody ever wrote a function to draw a tree (lines for branches, etc.) from the contents of an XML document?

best,

Daniel

Hi all, I submitted this very question to the newbies board, but maybe this is the right place to do it. My apologies for the crossposting. I think in order to be able to make queries on a SQLite database using regular expressions you need a function called regexp; and in order to use this function ...

Hi all, I think in order to be able to make queries on a SQLite database using regular expressions you need a function called regexp; and in order to use this function you need to compile a dynamic library extension. I could be wrong in every respect, of course, but if not, How can you compile such ...

Thanks Daniel. It works!

OK, I'll answer myself (and anybody with the same problem): before querying the database (let's say data was introduced in UTF8) you "textencode" the string to search with a SELECT statement, like put textEncode(searchText,"UTF8") into searchText and you textdecode the results put textDecode(textFou...

First, my apologies if this question is trivial or if it's been answered 100 times already. I have a sqlite database with text in unicode utf16. When I use it with programs like SQLiteStudio there's no problem with the database. However, from LiveCode I can't query the database for text in Unicode (...

Dear all, I am working on a project that I think could be of interest to many colleagues and scholars (it is an Ancient Greek dictionary with a browser of greek parsed forms). It uses two large databases of publicly available data (distributed with a cc share alike, non profit license). I'a planning...

Sorry for this long delay (It certainly wasn't due to lack of interest). I have been trying to upload a simplified version of the stack together with a reduced version of all the files (just the first 100 lines of every file--more than 140,000 lines each), but even so the whole bunch is almost 3MB, ...

It would be helpful if you could provide the complete LC handler as you have it, the complete Python function you're comparing it to so we can gauge relative performance, and the data files so we can be assured that the revisions we make to your handler will account for their specific structure. I ...

Unless I'm wrong, in LiveCode, there is an EOF (end of file) constant, but not an EOL (end of line).

Thanks, Let's say you have a bilingual dictionary. It is Greek-English, or Chinese-English, so you need Unicode. You have it in three files, one for the Greek headwords, a second file for definitions and a third one (a really gigantic file) with the body of every article. Say you want to know how ma...
