:D :D Thanks, again. I had arrived at a similar, less elegant solution: on mouseUp put fld "filiaciones" into filiaciones repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines of filiaciones put line x of filiaciones into lalin put "" into losRects repeat for each item elit in lalin put the rectangle of fld (eli...

:shock: :D :D Once again , I stand in awe at the solution. Thanks so much hh!. It's pretty late here, so I'll spend the first hours of the day of tomorrow enjoying your code. However, as it stands, the code is not flawless: I implemented it thusly: on mouseUp put fld "myFields" into myFields --each ...

Hi all, I need to build a polygon around an irregullarly distributed group of fields (any number of fields), and make this polygon as fit as possible. I know this is a beautiful exercise in coding, but before giving it the time it really deserves I'll dare to ask: Is there already an algorithm to do...

Thanks Klaus, FourthWorld; you both made my day. Both ways work like a charm. Alas, for very large files (I mean a monster of 700MB) the option of opening in binary and use the read/write is much faster that using the url binfile option, so I used the former. Thanks again.

Thanks. I am using the old open file, write to file, close file method. Is that important?

Hi everyone! How can I write to a file im MacOs with unix line-breaks? I see that there's no use in using replace numToChar(13) with numToChar(10) in container or replace numToChar(13) with linefeed in container before exporting it to a file, because LC will translate it into mac linebreaks. I need ...

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,

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 (...
