cool tricks in SEX163
He, he, he... couldn't resist after thinking this was a bug and then realizing it's a feature! If you right-click (or control-click) on a function/handler name then SEX will edit the script of the card or stack of the control whose script you're editing that contains that routine! Cool eh? Stacks in use will also be scanned in the next version... Like it or not? cheers Xavier ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
SEX contributions anyone
Hi y'all, Im starting to get a little anxy... Im too rusty in C... Has anyone got a Fast remove duplicate lines script? Best I get is 12ms per line... Any line being a word. So before I install a c compiler and put in 2 weeks to make an external, has anyone got one ready? I know Frederic Rinaldi's StripDup but it's Mac Only... Maybe Fred will share his source... Sometimes, I miss my Mac and HyperCard... This routine is for a good cause, you're best alternative script editor for MC and soon RR... cheers Xavier ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

If split worked the way I think it should (and still could, quite compatibly - perhaps I'll make in bugzilla a suggestion I made long ago) then doing split/combine would probably do this almost instantaneously. Even without that, I've found Rev/MC's hashed arrays fantastically efficient. Have you tried simply: put empty into aTemp repeat for each line t in tManyLines put true into aTemp[t] end repeat put the keys of aTemp into tFewerLines Of course that will lose the order, but I'd expect it to be very fast. If you want to keep sequence (first appearance) then put empty into tFewerLines put empty into aTemp repeat for each line t in tManyLines if aTemp[t] = empty then put t return after tFewerLines put true into aTemp[t] end if end repeat should work, albeit a bit more slowly.

here, adapt this... function FilterLines olist,str local thisline,nulist put 1 into thisline put into nulist repeat while thisline 0 set cursor to busy put LineOffset(str,olist) into thisline put line thisline of olist return after nulist delete line 1 to thisline of olist if olist is empty then exit repeat end repeat return nulist end FilterLines just put an add 1 to counthowmany and return that instead of nulist... it's quite fast even with a table with 1 rows... from the XOS Obj Lib -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Pierre Sahores Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2003 18:25 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: SEX contributions anyone Le jeu 04/09/2003 18:17, MisterX a crit : I know Frederic Rinaldi's StripDup but it's Mac Only...

Using the Rev 2.1 engine
I'm on Mac OS X and ready to use Rev 2.1 with the MC IDE. I copy the Rev app to my MC folder and double-click it - and it unexpectedly quit.

Message Box placement
Currently the Message Box is opened below and center to the topmost window. Personally, I prefer it to open at the bottom of the display (aboce the Dock/Task Bar). In the next rev of the IDE, would you folks prefer to have it centered to the topstack or at the bottom of the display? -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation Developer of WebMerge: Publish any database on any Web site ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com Tel: 323-225-3717 AIM: FourthWorldInc ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

RE: Message Box placement
I'd like it at the bottom of the display, but if the Dock/Task Bar is hidden at the bottom of the screen, the MB needs to be far enough away that a casual slide down the MB won't accidentally activate the Dock/Task Bar.

Yes, it would use the windowboundingrect rather than screenrect, which would account for both the Dock and the Task Bar. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation Developer of WebMerge: Publish any database on any Web site ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com Tel: 323-225-3717 AIM: FourthWorldInc ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
