record sound. MP3?

2001-06-28 Thread Mark Mitchell
I tried the 'record sound file' command in the new 2.4 beta, but the quality seems 
really bad, with no difference between
'good' , 'better' and 'best'.  The quality is significantly lower than the lowest 
quality of the supercard record sound (6:1
comp, AIFF format).  But what I would really like is to be able to record directly 
(from microphone) into MP3.  Given the
quality and universality and comparative cheapness of MP3 (converting the supercard 
'best' to MP3 cut the memory in half, with
no detectable loss in quality)  it seems silly to be messing with other formats at 
this time.  Does anyone know of a plug-in
that will allow direct recording of MP3 in either hyper, super, or meta card?  I know 
that using N2MP3Pro (commercial MP3
software) you can directly record from microphone to MP3, but I don't want the hassle 
of having to use a second application in
conjunction with my meta-card project.

thanks,

mark mitchell

Re: htmlText - what entities, what charset?

2001-06-28 Thread Scott Raney

On Wed, 27 Jun 2001 Ben Rubinstein [EMAIL PROTECTED]: 

 Is it possible to get a list of the character entities supported by htmlText
 (or a link to the reference used)?

I think the table came from the HTML 3.2 spec.

 Also, I have the impression that when non-ascii characters are found in the
 text which do not have a corresponding character entity name, they are
 mapped in some way to a particular character set, and then expressed as
 codes, eg #148;.  Is this in ISO-8859-1?  Eg if on the Mac you set the
 text of a field to numtochar(165), which is bullet, you'll find that the
 htmlText of the field is #149;.  Can Scott (or someone) confirm that
 this is what is happening, and what happens when there is no mapping for the
 character in the 'local' character set to the destination one (ISO-8859-1,
 if it is that)?

Yes, which is the same way HTML works.  And there is always a mapping
to some other character value, though not always the same character
glyph (or even to a printable character).  It uses the same tables as
the ISOToMac() and MacToISO() functions.  The same information is
presented graphically in the character chooser.
  Regards,
Scott

the seconds -- start date

2001-06-28 Thread Richard Gaskin

I know I came across the start date for MC's seconds function recently, but
I can't find it now that I want to refer someone else to it.  The entry in
the MetaTalk Reference simply says ...from some artibtrary time, but
doesn't mention what that time is.

Where is that documented?

Thanks in advance -

boolean search...

2001-06-28 Thread Rosli Hassan

hello,

i m trying to find out if there are people out there
who have worked with the combination of the 'find'
command together with boolean operators such as and
or  not

i m trying to find a way of searching through text in
a bkgnd text field on hundreds of cards.  

ex: 
repeat with i = 1 to x --the total number of cards in 
 this stack

   find cat and lion in field theText of card i
   find cat or lion in field theText of card i
   find cat not lion in field theText of card i
   if the result is empty then put the name of card i
   into field titleText --where the name of the card

is also the title of 
--same goes for the or and not
end repeat

is something like this possible...is there anywhere i
can look at as ref.  any help would be much
appreciated... thanks.

No time right now to give you anything complete, but check out the mark
command for this. Here's a general idea:

and:
   unmark all cards
   mark cards by finding cat in field theText
   unmark cards where lion is not in field theText
   -- remaining marked cards have both lion and cat

or
  unmark all cards
  mark cards by finding cat in field theText
  mark cards by finding lion in field theText
  -- marked cards now have either one or the other

not
  unmark all cards
  mark cards by finding cat in theText
  unmark cards by finding lion in theText
  -- marked cards are those with cat but not lion

Then you can go through and get the names of the marked cards for your
list. Make sure to unmark all cards first whenever you do this, since the
mark property is persistent.
