Re: Reading multiple identical nodes in an XML file

[Jim Ault]

This approach takes about
11 ticks to do 20,000 lines of XML
and creates a single tab-delim table
--
but first fix the malformed tag

-
on parseXML
   put empty into MT
   put tab into TB
   put "^" into TB --remove after debugging

   put fld incmgTxtFld into dataBlock
   replace CR with MT in dataBlock  --purge all
   put "orphanage, small-child, name, age" into tree
   replace space with MT in tree

   replace (item 1 of tree) with CR in dataBlock

   --isolate each small-child & trunc data line
   replace ("") with CR in dataBlock

   --make sure each line a good data line
   get ("")
   filter dataBlock with ("<" & item 2 of tree & space & "*")

   --isolate data & build a table
   repeat for each line LNN in dataBlock
put LNN into tblRow

  repeat for each item ITM in (item 3 to -1 of tree)
   replace ""  with MT in tblRow
   replace "<" & ITM & ">"  with TB in tblRow
  end repeat
  replace "=" with CR in tblRow
  put line 2 of tblRow & CR after newDataTable
   end repeat
   replace ">" with MT in newDataTable
   put newDataTable into msg

end parseXML

LC chunking is very fast.
Hope this helps

Re: Using spaces/backdrop on OSX

[Pete]

Thanks Peter.  I forgot to mention I also tried this without a backdrop -
same problem.  I'm on 10.6.8 also LC 4.6.2.

Not really a big deal but I think I will probably enter it at the QCC just
so it's on record.

Re: Using spaces/backdrop on OSX

A bug, I think. Sounds as if LC isn't handling properly whatever message OSX 
provides for notification of Space change. I never use the backdrop, so I had 
not seen this, but when I test it now on Snow Leopard I see a brief flash of my 
open stack window then it disappears. MacBook, OSX 10.6.8, Rev Studio 4.5.3, 
build 1210.

Using spaces/backdrop on OSX

[Pete]

Trying to run the IDE in a separate Spaces window and setting the backdrop
to black.  All works fine until I switch to another space then back to the
one running the IDE.

When I leave the IDE space, I have the Tools palette, the Application
Browser, the Message Box, and a main stack window open.  When I return to
the IDE space, only the tools palette and the Message Box show up.  I've
tried setting raiseWIndows to true - made no difference.

Any ideas might be causing this?

New rendering testing

[James Hurley]

i have been experimenting with the new rendering tools in 5.0

Here is a stack that allows you to experiment for yourselves. Run this in the 
message box.

   go url "http://jamesphurley.com/jhurleyFolder/SimpleMotion.livecode";

It doen't appear that 5.0 is that different from 4.6 when the graphic demands 
are simple. But for multiple moving objects, there is clearly an advantage to 
5.0

I have also post a stack illustrating a number of graphic functions on the User 
Samples section of the LiveCode application. These all work reasonably well in 
4.6 and 5.0 They may also be downloaded by typing this in the Message Box:

 go url 
"http://jamesphurley.com/jhurleyFolder/ProgrammableGraphics.livecode";

Render unto 5.0 that which is complex and 
render unto 4.6 that which is simpler.

Hello Graham,
You are correct that I made no provisions for checking to see if the
user has Adobe Reader installed, or at what version and/or location.
My real point is/was that in order to launch a non-shell application
using the LC shell command (AcroRd32.exe in this case), you must first
set the default folder to the location where the targeted executable
resides.

On my system here, the script I posted opens a regular PDF file
(located in my documents folder) to the exact page number specified,
just as if I had manually opened it and navigated to the page.

I really didn't go any further in testing the functionality than that. :)

Best Regards,
David C.

Interesting articles.

Re: how to read an specific page into pdf document?

[Graham Samuel]

David, this is really interesting. Where does the PDF page appear? I mean is it 
in a stack window, and could it be manipulated by a LiveCode program? My guess 
is that this is what Alessandro was aiming at. I don't quite understand what's 
happening in this script. Also, in your case do you need to check if the user 
has actually got a copy of Adobe Reader installed? Looks like this method only 
works if you know not only that it's installed but exactly which version it is. 
Maybe in your context this isn't an issue - can you comment?

Re: Landscape Orientation iOS LC5 - Solved

After re-sizing the stack and back again, the orientation started to behave the 
same way on both the stack and the simulator.

I put the "with messages" in both places and it works in the simulator but not

Here's some free software that may help.  You'll have to attach the drive to
a Windows machine, and the hfs partitions are not recoverable with this
tool.  I've also seen drives recovered with testdisk on linux, but I haven't
done it myself.

The info says it does not recognise HFS and HFS+ partitions, so, even 
with a Windows machine there would not be much joy.

size). Takes a long time but recovered stuff from a severely damaged 
disk.




Thank you everyone for your ideas.  I found that I had Data Rescue II, 
that I bought a few years ago, backed up on a CD; so I have installed 
it; bought a 2TB external drive (currently grinding away being "diced 
and sliced"), and, at least theoretically, am ready to run; a process 
that, I imagine, will take about a week.


I ran a Demo of R-Studio for Mac, which, while being very slow indeed, 
did at least show that the partitions, with their data, are "There", 
rather than deleted.


I wish there were a simple way just to reset the MBR (or whatever it 
is) so the partitions would be recognised again, but that is too 
much to hope for.
