Re: Clone/Create is quitting

Hi Lawrence,

 read from file volume2001_images.txt until eof
 #Reads the whole file in in one shot
 put it into tData
 close file volume2001_images.txt

you can even shorten these 3 lines to only 1.

...
  put url file:volume2001_images.txt into tData
...

Et voila, that's it.

this is the most efficient way to put a complete file into a variable.

Works with binfiles, too.

It's the MetaCard way... :-)

No harm :-)
That works correctly now.
Also, the MetaTalk Example is interesting for this purpose.

Mod function

2001-10-16 Thread Gregory Lypny

Hi Everyone,

Just confirming that MC does not have a mod function.  Right?  So, 
I would use something like

5/2 - trunc(5/2) = 0.5

Just try :

5 div 2 = 2; 5 mod 2 = 1

It works fine there (MC 2.32, Linux).

 Bonjour à tous.
 Je suis nouveau sur cette liste, donc, je me présente:
 je suis instituteur spécialisé auprès d'enfants handicapés et utilisateur
 d'HyperCard depuis 10 ans. Je suis passé à MetaCard depuis un an avec le
 Starter Kit et j'envisage de faire acheter la licence à mon établissement.
 J'espère avoir de fructueux échanges sur cette liste.
 À bientôt

 Hi, everybody.
 I'm new on this list, so I introduce myself:
 I'm a french teacher and I work with disabled children. I've been using Macs
 and HyperCard for ten years, and I tried MetaCard on year ago. I downloaded
 the Starter Kit and I think it gives a good idea of the program. I asked my
 school to buy next year the full license. I hope this list will ask to my
 questions and I'll try (if I can) to give some answers.
 Excuse me for my poor english, and cheers!

Bonjour et bienvenue !

Venu, moi aussi, d'HC/MacOS avant de migrer sous MC/Linux, je teste
actuellement MC/MacOSX 10.1. Metacard est un outil extraordinaire,
parfaitement dans la ligne de ce qu'aurait pu devenir HC 3.0. Il permet,
dans le domaine qui est le mien (les serveurs d'applications Web et VPN,
les ERP façon SAP/R3) de concevoir et d'élaborer les solutions
client-serveur sous IP les plus performantes et fiables, y compris
l'interaction, sous ODBC, avec les SGBDR compatibles SQL, tels que
MySQL, PostGres, MSSQL ou Oracle.

Metacard is just the best xtalk you can find to do all you could do in
using HC, SC, SK8, Perl, Rexx, Python, TCL/TK, Pike, Java, etc... It's
some times very usefull to use it with small Applescripts or PHP
add-ones, especially if you need to connect IP apps or SQL datasources.
Have fun ;-)

Bien cordialement, Pierre Sahores

Re: Mod and Thanks metacard!

MC cannot brew a drinkable coffee (yet),


Does seem like it is getting there.  Just did a translation.  The company in Tokyo 
sent a cassette tape recorded at extra-slow
speed, meaning playback was ultra-fast!  The company authorized me to purchase a 
special recorder for playback, but instead I
just recorded it into a quicktime file (using the new record function) and used 
meta-cards player controls to adjust the
playback speed to exactly my and my partner's liking.  Wonderful.  Saved the company 
several hundred dollars and made me look
great.  

Thanks metacard!
