Hi Thierry - and and thanks for jumping in ;) I forgot to add the non-greedy operator '?' code should be (?<=delim1)(.*?)(?=delim2) please don't give too much heavy food to my 'sick-hatred-anti-regex' friends :roll: this will work too with less typing: (1) delim1(.*?)delim2 he's an example using th...

(?<=delim1)(.*)(?=delim2) hope that helps.. Hello Stam, here is a little saturday night quiz... I've replaced delim1 and delim2 by _1 and _2 on mouseUP constant T = "_1qwerty_2 _1asdf_2" put "Text in: " &tab& T &cr& \ "regex:" &tab& "result:" &cr into fld 1 constant rexStam1 = "(?<=_1)(.*)(?=_2)" i...

..... But, as good practice, your way is definitely more robust. Craig Thanks, and yes, I hate any kind of numbers in any scripts :) I just tried it, though, and the process starts but will not complete. Selecting the menuItem by hand works, but not by script. Well, I didn't try the next part.... W...

I was able to use "select menuitem 25 of menu "File",..... Quite hasardous to use fixed values for such cases. And in the menu "File", because of the "Open Recent Files...", nothing is fixed anyway. So, a much better way: constant SaSApp = "Save as Standalone Application..." get lineOffset( SaSApp,...

I find the biggest advantage to switch is when I need to do something like Thierry wrote, though I do it this way: function checkWithSwitch switch case testA case testB case testC return false default return true end switch end checkWithSwitch much better; thanks Jacque. I'm editing my previous pos...

Interesting thread. +1 Hi all, @Craig: - do you know that swift (Apple) promote the switch/case the way you want. - do you know that until recently, python had no switch/case statement and when someone asked for an alternative, the answer was the map() function, but not the if-then-else ! This func...

I have an API from textbelt.com that allows you to send a text message
from your computer to a mobile phone.
they also have other languages but not LiveCode

Here is a working solution in pure LIVECODE, using the POST command.

Just so I understand, DataGrids are just fields that are one next to each other (and created by code for automation)? Hi Finn, look at this screenshot: screenshot 2021-03-12 à 09.41.27.jpg I've made a new stack, dropped a Datagrid object on the card, and selected the datagrid to show its PI. So, yo...

Here is a plugin (actually, I did edit the revExample.rev plugin for this purpose) which will detect if the SE is opened or closed. See bottom-left label which is red or green according to the SE state. your plugin seems not able to intercept suspending or resuming of Script Editor. Sorry for the d...

Thanks Brian, very helpful tip - finally made sense when examining the foldState array. +1 As I wasn't aware of this widget property, I did play a bit with it, and here is an interesting screenshot of a tree view widget on the left, and the details of foldState in the debugger... Be aware of extra ...

I suspect the sortIndex approach will be very helpful if dealing with a large array of BLOBs for example, but in most 'normal' use cases there isn't much of a difference True, absolutely true ! Here is a benchmark for an array of 4609 entries, full size of the json input data > 3 Mbytes. First numb...

Hi, in fact, I didn't check the validity of your function; I did trust you :) just rewriting your code a tiny bit.... this time, I drop the last part "is false" and add not before ( function _isNumericValue pValue return pValue is a number \ and not ( char 1 of pValue is 0 \ and char 2 of pValue is ...

.... So this is how the new version looks it is considerably smaller and faster. function _isNumericValue pValue if pValue is not a number then return false if char 1 of pValue is 0 and char 2 of pValue is not "." and the length of pValue is not 1 or char 1 of pValue is not in "-0123456789" then re...

i just need to hide plugins when the script editor window comes to the foreground, so i need to identify the state changes of the window itself Hi Paul, Here is a plugin (actually, I did edit the revExample.rev plugin for this purpose) which will detect if the SE is open or closed. See bottom-left ...

I'm beginning to think that Craig is right, "DO" is the answer to everything

DO NOTHING is the answer to everything
