Sending Terminal Command (Python) Using LiveCode?
Hi All, I manage a lot of accounts in our Google Apps for Education deployment. I have used LiveCode to automate a lot of the csv creation for this process. I use a Terminal application (GAM) created in Python to do some of this too. I would like to be able to call the GAM Python scripts via LiveCode. A typical GAM python terminal command would be something like: python gam.py create user j...@student.email.k12.ca.us firstname John lastname Doe password 11 change password off Could I call this Python script directly from LiveCode? Something like: on mouseUp shell(python gam.py create user j...@student.sylvan.k12.ca.us firstname John lastname Doe password 11 change password off end mouseUp This seems too easy. I’m guessing I would have to point Livecode to the proper directory (path) to the Python app. etc. Is calling python scripts possible through LiveCode? …in need of an example :) Thank you!

Re: permuting a string (was Re: Speed)
A tune-up on the earlier solution to listing permutations of a string. Obviously, no need to load an array with the values of the characters, just use char c of tString. Also, if tString contains duplicate letters then there will be duplicate entries in the output, so those should be stripped before returning the result of the function. Here's the streamlined script: function permute tString put (the length of tString) into N if N 9 then answer Can only permute up to 9 characters. exit permute end if subtract 1 from N put P2(N,49) into permList repeat with c = 1 to N+1 replace c with char c of tString in permList end repeat noDupes permList return permList end permute function P2 N,B -- N is the depth to permute -- B is the ASCII value to start from -- so P2(1,49) returns 21 cr 12 -- P2(2,53) returns 675 cr 765 cr 756 cr 576 cr 657 cr 567 if N = 0 then return numToChar(B) cr put P2(N - 1,B) into T add B to N repeat with i = B to N - 1 put T into T2 replace numToChar(i) with numToChar(N) in T2 replace cr with numToChar(i) cr in T2 put T2 after R end repeat replace cr with numToChar(N) cr in T return R T end P2 on noDupes @tList,tDelim -- thanks to Peter Hayworth of the use-LC mailing list -- NOTE: tList is referenced, so the original list will be changed. -- strips duplicate (and empty) lines/items from a list -- if tDelim = empty then looks first for the presence of cr in tList, -- if found, defaults to cr as the delimiter --if no cr found, looks for the presence of comma in tList, -- if found, defaults to comma as the delimiter --if neither found, exits without changing tList -- (user should have specified another delim) -- use it as follows, eg: -- assuming theList starts as a comma-delimited list, call: --noDupes theList,comma or just noDupes theList -- following which theList will contain the original list --stripped of empty and duplicate items -- note: the order of the list will likely be changed, may require re-sorting -- note: the split command is inherently case-sensitive --(irrespective of the value of the caseSensitive property), --so Chuck and chuck will not be considered duplicates --if you need case insensitive, use the noDupes() function instead if tDelim = empty then if cr is in tList then put cr into tDelim else if comma is in tList then put comma into tDelim else answer noDupes: no delimiter specified as sheet exit noDupes end if end if replace tDelim with cr in tList filter tList without empty split tList by cr and cr put the keys of tList into tList replace cr with tDelim in tList end noDupes -- Peter Peter M.

mp3 files not playing on Windows
A client's customer (using Windows) had ordered two modules of a series. Both come with their own set of mp3 files in a folder named media. The two modules use the same code for figuring path names and playing sounds. We've had no problems in either module with other customers, but this one reports that sounds play properly in one of the modules, but not the other. He has QuickTime installed, and we've ruled out non-standard characters in the path to the sound files. What seems strange is that the sounds play in one module, but not another. I suggested he move the problematic module to the same location as the one that works as expected, but it doesn't seem to have helped. Anybody have any ideas of what else to check? Thanks!

mp3 files not playing on Windows
Hi Mark, Thanks - they are both 16bit; the one that works is 22.1 kHz, bitrate 56 kbps, the ones that don't work are 44.1 kHz, 128 kbps. But we've delivered many other modules with files at 44.1/128 with no issues. Could that cause a problem on this one computer, or is there something else in the encoding that would be worth looking at? thanks!

When copying files from a Mac to a volume formatted with NTFS or other Windows-compatible format, for each Mac file it also creates a second file with the same name but with ._ prepended to it. E.g., this: MyFile1.txt MyFile2.txt ...becomes: ._MyFile1.txt ._MyFile2.txt MyFile1.txt MyFile2.txt This is course annoying, and worse, for many people I run into it's also confusing as well.

Apparently whatever handles an _internal script can't handle anything but the original old chunk expressions. Yes - and it is another syntax allowing to colorize some lines only (perhaps useful in the frame of the script editor): _internal script colorize line na to nb of field FScript. To colorize the whole script : _internal script colorize line nfirst to nlast of field FScript and if you want to colorize one line only, it musst be: _internal script colorize line na to na of field FScript (_internal script colorize line na of field FScript gives an error.)

Re: ._!
Richard, It seems turning off the '._*' file creation could cause problems with the Apple Finder and some MS Office apps. After a quick search I found an old entry on Mac OS X Hints (MacWorld forum) that states using the 'mv' and 'cp' commands (in Terminal) will move or copy files without the ._ files., so maybe you could use a shell command to do the copying. I just tried a quick test and although I'm not seeing any '._*' files, I noticed that using the 'cp' command doesn't copy the '.DS_Store' file so it may be worth a try to see if avoids copying the '._*' files too.

If an app depends on Mac-specific metadata or the resource fork that would be the case.

For anything else, the Mac works fine with files put onto such drives from other OSes, so any risk would seem very minimal. Even so, I'm okay with the default being what it is. It just seems reasonable that there be an option for the Finder to play nice with the other 90% of the world when copying to foreign-format drives.
