Finding out a list of open stacks

[andrewferguson]

Hi everyone,
I am looking for a way to find out a list of all the current stacks that are open that are not LiveCode IDE stacks or plugins.
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

your subject lines almost had it
...
## Well, simple and Livecode-like
put the openstacks into tStackList

## Get rid of revXXX stacks:
filter tStacklist without "rev*"
answer tStackList
...



Best

Hi Klaus,
Thanks! However I need to also filter stacks like the message box which do not have "rev" in their name.
Thanks,
Andrew

[Klaus]

OK:
...
filter tStacklist without "rev*"
filter tStackList without "Message Box"
...
That's it
No other Rev stacks without the REV prefix.

Hint:
Since plugins can be named anything, you may be out of luck to differ these from other stacks.
Maybe check front- and backscripts, too, but in general this is not trivial.

You can also take a look at the revLoadedStacks function..

Ah, yes, did not know about these params to that function:
...
Parameters
xmlerr, can't find element - xmlerr, can't find element
xmlerr, can't find element - xmlerr, can't find element
xmlerr, can't find element - xmlerr, can't find element
xmlerr, can't find element - xmlerr, can't find element
...

Hi,
Thanks! That works.

I believe the different parameters are:
revLoadedStacks() -- shows all except the rev stacks
revLoadedStacks("all") -- shows them all
revLoadedStacks("preferences") -- shows stacks based on preferences settings (show/hide rev stacks)

[andrewferguson]

revLoadedStacks() -- shows all except the rev stacks

Thanks! That would work too.
