Columns - feature request

I don't think you can do it without at least one repeat since we don't have the concept of columns in MC. This sounds good as a feature request - columns, columnDelimiter. Regards, Andu Novac Countless times I wished for this feature. At least for something like split MyArray by cr VERTICALY so that for example: put "A1,B1,C1" into line 1 of MyArray put "A2,B2,C2" into line 3 of MyArray put "A3,B3,C3" into line 4 of MyArray put "A4,B4,C4 " into line 2 of MyArray split MyArray by cr VERTICALY or split COLUMNS of MyArray by cr answer MyArray ["1"] would return A1 A2 A3 A4" Assuming that engine will honor ItemDelimiters to identify column dividers Generally, it could be any syntax but the idea is that I currently don't know any DIRECT way to split matrix type variable so that each element of the array would contain the column of the variable. As for the "concept of columns in MC" - this would be phenomenal. If columns would be incorporated as one of the tokens it would be possible to Put column 3 of tvar into column 2 of tAnotherVar Replace col 3 of tvar with col 4 of tanothervar Delete col 5 of tvar But again, even the ability to split array by columns would greatly reduce number of repeat loops we have to write Best regards Tariel Gogoberidze ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
Set up GUI stack on OSX server that handles STDIN/STDOUT
General Question is: How does one set up a stack on an OSX server that can act like a UNIX program where any other [Program A] can set a path: /usr/sbin/myFilter.mc where myFilter.mc is an open stack running in GUI mode, such that output from Program A is read as standardIn incoming data by 'myFilter.mc" to which myFilter.mc can send our responses which are seen by Program A as data coming from myFilter.mc's standardOut? Specific Context is: We want to have more control over incoming email on the email server, not only for virus scanning but for many other purposes. Communigate Pro (our mail server) can set up a path to an external program and using its "External Filter API" which is a simple set or request/response codes, it will send a request to the external program and expect responses. I would like the external program to be a metacard stack if possible, with a GUI interface. Is that doable? In this scenario Apache or any web CGI interfaces are not involved. But i think it must be a similar concept as Pierre Sohores "long running process" i know how to use the faceless script to "read from stnin" but how do you do that in a GUI stack ... which must be some how set up a pipe to "listen" ? mmm. somehow. I think we may have come full circle here back to Metacard's roots? examples stack and scripts would be very helpful...

Faceless CGI challenge/print incoming text-email files
OK, well maybe it's not a challenge maybe it asking if someone has done this already: Goal: have a faceless metacard/revolution process running on a OSX server that will check a directory for files (deposited there by an email server), on a timed interval, if files are found, format these to letter size in a particular font and print to a specific networked printer in another office on the LAN. I think i could set this up with an open stack in the GUI, but don't know how to script to choose a specific printer without having previously selected that printer as the default printer for the whole server. Use of a "page set up" request... returns a system dialog box... but this has to run without human interaction i.e. need to be able to poke, by script, the values that are usually entered from the system print set up dialog box. Can do?

I did find they saved me some time ocassionally, especially if I forgot just what the actual name of some particular command or message was. Stuff like Control Structures, though, didn't even realize there was a menu for that. What I'd really love is some sort of auto-complete for commands, properties, functions, etc. At the very least for commands, once you've typed a "on " as the first characters of a line in the script editor, if common commands and messages could show up after that like they do in Internet Explorer, that would be great. I've stayed away from 2.5 because the early releases seemed very incomplete. However, I think I'll dive into this new 2.5 beta now. When is the estimated time arrival for 2.5 final? ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

Hello Richard, Downloaded from a repository of scientific data, I believe they are Unix text files, but I don't know which application created them. How would I find out?

In version 2.5 there is no extra debugger and MC "debugs" - stops at - every breakpoint!?!?! Right, but that's the way it has to work now that the editor and the debugger are in the same window. I like it, but I suppose that is because of my HyperCard background where the debugger works the same way. I find it convenient to be able to insert a breakpoint in a script and then run my stack normally. The debugger will open automatically whenever it hits the breakpoint. I like that. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
