Editing .livecodescript files

[richmond62]

Is there a way to open a .livecodescript file inwith the IDE, edit it, and save it?

OK: I have worked out how to do that.

BUT, I'd like to open a .livecodescript file with code using a file path . . .

Hi Richmond,

yes, just use the OPEN dialog.
LC will create a "temporary" script window, where you can edit the script(s).

IMPORTANT:
Hit CMD-S (Save) while the script editor window is still open or your changes are lost.

Thanks Klaus.

My main difficulty is how to open a .livecodescript along a filepath using code.

Hi Richmond,

don't try to "open" or "go" to that stack, just script this:

Code: Select all

edit script of stack "/Users/klaus2/Desktop/broadcaster.livecodescript"

Tested and works.

Thanks Klaus.

How about something along the lines of

Code: Select all

edit the script of stack (<path_to_stack>)

— Edit: Klaus clearly on form got there before me lol
