Naive question 5978
I have a bog-basic data extraction stack that extracts lines from a list field and puts them into another list field. I want to make an equivalent stack using 2 dataGrids . . . Now when I put something like this: if line XXX of dataGrid BING contains Socks then put line XXX of dataGrid BING into line ZZZ of dataGrid Pants end if I get a really bad attack of the Red Blobs. I stuck my neck right under the guillotine and tried this: if column 2 of line XXX of dataGrid BING contains Socks then put line XXX of dataGrid BING into line ZZZ of dataGrid Pants end if Head dropped straight into the basket! As this is my first (Yup: FIRST) foray into DataGrids I would be grateful for a few pointers. The Dictionary (6.6.2) tells me nothing when I look for 'dataGrid and nothing when I look for 'Column' that seems to refer to dataGrids.

delete specified text?
So; I have an urge to delete some text from lines of a list field, like
this:
put 1 into QOUNT
repeat until line QOUNT of fld PROCD is empty
delete word 2 of line QOUNT of fld PROCD
add 1 to QOUNT
end repeat
which is all fine and dandy.
The ONLY problem is that the word ('Plovdiv') that I want to remove from
the lines of the list field is NOT always the second word . . .
Ever a trier, I tried this:
put 1 into QOUNT
repeat until line QOUNT of fld PROCD is empty
delete Plovdiv from line QOUNT of fld PROCD
add 1 to QOUNT
end repeat
No joy . . .
Now, I suppose I could have a routine that trots down the line checking
if each word is 'Plovdiv',
and if so, deleting it.
Seems a bit wasteful and slow . . .
-
I t would be rather jolly if
delete Specific word from line X of fld Y
could be implemented.

Re: delete specified text?
Hi Richmond,
You can do this:
replace plovdiv with empty in line 2 of fld PROCD
Unfortunately, you'll end up with double space. You may need to add a
space to plovdiv in the replace string or replace all double spaces at
once:
replace space space with space in fld PROCD
If you really only need to replace Plovdiv, use this:
replace Plovdiv with empty in fld PROCD
repeat until space space is not in fld PROCD
replace space space with space in fld PROCD
end repeat
--

Pastel colours for charts

That build not only contains Unicode support throughout, but also the latest build folds in the Cocoa support from v6.7. Thanks Richard, Btw, I have only just recently upgraded to 6.6.2. Now I have to upgrade already. Arr! The free Community Edition has pretty much the same features as the Commercial Edition, for those projects where releasing under the GPL is a good fit. For testing it makes things very convenient. I will have to get used to it, I guess. Is version-7 stable ? The Download page shows it as DP, with a note on that page: DP - Short for Developer Preview, these releases are not feature complete and likely to contain bugs. They have been made public to allow LiveCode developers to experiment with the latest features and feedback to the team. Users who find bugs can file them at http://quality.runrev.com. http://downloads.livecode.com/livecode/ Will it fix my problem ? Give it a try and let us know. They won't release it until it gets your OK - yours, and from the rest of us. It's a BIG upgrade, and will require a lot of testing. Please note that in order to accommodate all the changes the file format has changed for v7. If you want to retain the option of working in older versions you'll want to do your v7 testing on a copy of your stack files. But please do test with v7. It's arguably the most significant upgrade in LiveCode's history, and will require all of us to pound on it to ensure it does what we need it to do when it's released. Ben's blog post from yesterday outlines the importance of v7: http://livecode.com/blog/2014/07/22/we-need-your-help-6-7-and-7-0-final-dps-released/ -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World LiveCode training and consulting: http://www.fourthworld.com Webzine for LiveCode developers: http://www.LiveCodeJournal.com Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/FourthWorldSys ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: Pastel colours for charts
I have been investigating. When I show the Apple Color Picker on the screen as RGB and use the same colour in LiveCode the colour used in LiveCode appears more saturated that in the Apple Colour Picker. Why is that?

Re: Naive question 5978
Hi Richmond, I've updated my website with a stack demonstrating how to dragdrop rows from a datagrid to another. This is an updated version of an example I've already shared in the past. The stack is demonstrating: - dragging from dg 1 to dg 2 with deleting the row in dg 1 - dragging from dg 1 to dg 2 by duplicating the row in dg 2 without removing it in dg 1 - column and data binding: the column order in dg 1 is not the same than in dg 2.

Re: QT in Release 7 dp-7
Then why don't you say so :-p Since it is all still very new, my guess is that there isn't that much to test. However, from the sparse info in the release notes, I conclude that the new player control has most, if not all, features that the old player control has plus two new features (hiliteColor and foreColor). That should allow you to make your own test stack, if you have OSX 10.8 or later. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Installer Maker for LiveCode: http://qery.us/468 Buy my new book Programming LiveCode for the Real Beginner http://qery.us/3fi LiveCode on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/runrev/ On 7/23/2014 22:24, stephen barncard wrote: On Wed, Jul 23, 2014 at 12:33 AM, Mark Schonewille m.schonewi...@economy-x-talk.com wrote: Yeah, ok, but that's not related to Muaadh's problem.

Lock screen layering of stacks?
I feel like I'm missing something really basic here... I have 2 stacks. Stack Second overlaps stack First. A button in stack First has this script: on mouseUp go stack Second go stack First end mouseUp If I press the button, it behaves as I expect. There is a bit of a flicker, and stack First ends up on top. If add a line... on mouseUp lock screen go stack Second go stack First end mouseUp ... then the flicker disappears, as expected, but stack Second ends up on top. Is it supposed to work like this?
