Hi, I realize you took on a really ambitious task! Parsing web sites & extracting useful info is usually sheer horror. Those dreaded web designers & php coders seem completely alien to any logic & thoughtfulness, and finding any kind of reliable system in their output is most often futile. But in yo...

Hi,

may be server misconfig. My Android (4.2.2, on WiFi, with Firefox):

ftp://mydynDomain.biz:54399 => login screen
ftp://93.127.24.112:54399 => login screen

Your user has a directory attached in "Users/ Shared Folders", and at least Read/ List permission?

Have fun!

Hi,

just quickly: Be sure to be in the correct directory on Android when creating a file - you're caught in a virtual file system & only have few possibilities! SpecialfolderPath("cache") works in any case, and is persistent.

Have fun!

Hi, Could someone explain me why it happen? You're sure you're actually using WiFi with the Android? And have approbate settings in the router? For instance, I can set it up so that WiFi (or Guest-WiFi) cannot connect local machines ... Since I read about some confusion regarding in house servers be...

Ooops, yup, I see, you have set up half a data center already ... My idea was much more simple: Set up FileZilla Server, and create a User in it. Should be done in about 5 min. Create a port redirection in your router, type "FTP Server". Use a script like below in your app, and be done. (Not tested,...

Hi,

just a thought: Why don't you just set up a FTP Server on your Win machine? FileZilla Server for instance?

This should make things ways less complicated ...

Have fun!

Hi, Win 10-64bit pro here, and any LC is running out-of-the box. Since a long time. No compatibility settings required for 6.5, 6.7.10, 8.1.2 and 9.0 (dp4) - these I have available atm., on 2 machines. The Windows is up to date, i.e. any updates are installed. I guess your preferences file is corrup...

Hi, you're sure you have a valid gConnectionID? If yes & it's a SQLite, try with the full db path in the databaseName parameter. I remember situations where I got a valid ConnID + still "no such table": I had used relative paths ... And I managed already to mess up a path variable, resulting in crea...

Oooops! Actually I forgot about this already ;-) ftp_Rawlist() works in a brain dead way - what were they thinking it's more code to create it and more code to decipher the results, a lose/lose. Right, it's a PITA. And worse, LC's "put URL myFTPDirectoryURL" gives the same crap as result. With the i...

Hi, If you don't need sorting & just want an index w/o holes, use this: function reindexArr theArr put 1 into myNum repeat for each line myKey in the keys of theArr put theArr[myKey] into newArr[myNum] add 1 to myNum end repeat return newArr end reindexArr On my machine the times for 10.000 iteratio...

Coincidence! Googling for "modTableField" I found your question :) Can you give me a hint where to find those two packages ? Here you go: Bernd Niggemanns ModTableField & Scott Rossis TableLab If these are not the most recent URLs some helpful forum participant will help us out, I hope ;-) Have fun!

Hi, at first: Make a copy of your stack & save it in a safe place, to avoid even further damage! This way you always can make one more fresh copy & start your repairs from the beginning. If LC crashes as soon as you start this stack, try this: Open LC alone, not yet the stack! From the "development"...

Ooops!

I wasn't referring to you, sry!

Have fun!

Hmmm. You & 4 of your associates cannot paste backColors into WordPad. So you deduce it's a bug in LC. Now I post a pict that shows it actually works on other machines. So you deduce it's still a bug in LC because, well, it doesn't work on your & your associates computers, all 5 of 'em! Your logic s...

Hi, "I installed ver 9 dp4 per your recommendation and ran your demo and activated the “copy fields contents button. Unfortunately although I was able to correctly paste the colored output in any LC window, any attempt to paste to wordpad or word for window etc did not retain the colored outputs. pa...
