Re: replaceText() not working as expected for multiple lines
The ^ (circumflex or caret) outside square brackets means look only at the beginning of the target string., This is true in default mode of the PCRE library. There is a multiline mode which changes this behavior; the ^ will match the begining of every line. To be in multiline mode, just have to do what Peter said: add (?m) as a prefix of your regex. so you could use a repeat loop Don't need any repeat loop with replaceText(). or just don't use the ^. If I put… /Users/hawk/bk_clients/blue aardvark/blue_aardvark001.dhbk …into a variable tVar and use… put replaceText(tVar,/Users/hawk/bk_clients/,empty) into tVarOut …then tVarOut contains: blue aardvark/blue_aardvark001.dhbk or simply… replace /Users/hawk/bk_clients/ with empty in tVar Agree with you Paul, I would have done the same. No need of ^ in this context, and no need of the replaceText(); replace will do the job.

Replace First Occurrence of a Substring in a String
There must be an easy way to replace only the first occurrence of a substring within a string. The replaceText function replaces all occurrences of a string which matches the the supplied substring (actually the supplied regular expression). Obviously, it can be done with a loop, something like this: put Cat and Dog into tString repeat with tPos = 1 to the length of tString if char tPos of tString = a then put * into char tPos of tString exit repeat end if end repeat If there isn't an easier way, I'm sure many of you know a better way.

Re: Selecting a Stack
Thanks for your help again, Jacque I tried every combination possible and included the TopLevel command you mentioned previously. I would not work. I can just use the go to next prev cd it will call the scripts topLevel would call/ It does the job but after you call the files dialog and maybe other things you cannot use the go to cd in the same handler. So I put this code in a field I am using but does not have any other handlers. on mouseUp LMRefresh end mouseUp on LMRefresh lock screen go next cd go previous cd end LMRefresh It works every time no matter how complex the code is in my answer handler. thanks again, John Balgenorth On Sep 21, 2014, at 12:31 AM, J.

It might allow the content to be printed on several pages... I've never done this either but this is how I would start. I don't know what the limits are on the size of a layout page in Livecode, but this seems reasonable. If the printer driver can't deal with it, then you'll have to figure out a way to take snapshots of the various areas (with overlap) that you then print one by one. I'm sure it could be done.

Does LC Have A touchLoc() Function?
Does anyone know if LiveCode has touch-based function equivalent of mouseLoc? I'm thinking along the lines of touchLoc(id). I'm not seeing anything in dictionaries or release notes, but it's possible I'm missing it. Currently, there doesn't seem to be any way to poll the current active touches, which is something that has always been possible on desktop with the mouseLoc function. Using touchMove is not an option, because this only fires when there's movement of some kind. I'd like to open a feature request for a touchLoc(id) function that would return the loc of a touch id, and a touchLocs() function which would return all currently active touch ids and their locations. Unless this already exists, or there's some other way of getting this information and I'm just not seeing it.

Q: Standalone with drag and drop works on one Windows machine but not two others… why? The code is like this: on dragEnter set the allowabledragactions to copy,link set the dragAction to copy set the hilite of me to true end dragEnter on dragDrop if the dragdata[files] is not empty then put the dragdata[files] into gDroppedData DoMyStuff end dragDrop This code works fine on my Macs, and fine on a laptop running Windows 7; but on another Windows 7 laptop, and yet another running Windows 8, the stop sign cursor appears when I drag a folder to the button. The desktop behavior shows the drag being interpreted, with the cursor changing to the Copy icon, but when it gets to my app's window it's a stop sign. Yet, on the other Windows 7 machine it's perfect. It's more annoying that it works on one Windows than if it worked on none! Thanks for any help.

Re: Usng an image to disable a group

Re: Usng an image to disable a group
Hi Scott, Yes, it's a little difficult to explain. Basically I'm trying to block access to groups on a card until allowed by script. Right now, I do it by disabling/enabling the groups when appropriate. That works just fine but I was trying to find a better way to visually indicate that a group is disabled instead of the faded grey color that LC uses. Exporting a snapshot of each of these groups it their enabled state, positioning them over the groups and showing/hiding them is how I'm trying to handle it but I had hoped to be able to change the background color of the image to indicate the group is disabled. At this point, I don't think it's worth the effort to pursue this any further so I'll go back to disabling/enabling the groups. The card has three groups on it, each with various controls in it, field, buttons, etc. Currently, when the card opens, the first group is enabled and the other two are disabled. The user fills in data in the first group, and clicks on a button that adds the data to a database. At that point the second group is enabled and the user fills in data in that one, clicks a button to add it to the database and the third group is enabled. So basically just controlling the order in which data is entered. That all works fine right now but I don't particularly like the way a disabled group looks and since there doesn't seem to be any way to control that, I started down this path of trying to use graphics and images to do it (and wish I hadn't :-). I ruled out a graphic because it doesn't block users from typing into any field controls there might be in the group. Unless it's opaque of course but then the user can't even see that there's a group there. I've been working with a snapshot image of the second and third groups positioned over the top of them and that does indeed stop the user from doing anything with those groups until the image is removed. However, other than the user not being to use any controls in the group, there's no visual indication that the group is disabled and that's what I was hoping to achieve by somehow setting a background color/blendlevel of the image but it seems setting the backgroundcolor of an image has no effect. I tried all the other colors in the Property Inspector for the graphic but non of them affect it's background Pete lcSQL Software http://www.lcsql.com Home of lcStackBrowser http://www.lcsql.com/lcstackbrowser.html and SQLiteAdmin http://www.lcsql.com/sqliteadmin.html On Sun, Sep 21, 2014 at 4:52 PM, Scott Rossi sc...@tactilemedia.com wrote: Hey Pete: It sounds like there's some detail missing here.

OK - this is all untested so no guarantees. Firstly create an array and populate it with the eight images (put image 1 into tImages[1] etc.) then store that in a global variable or a custom property or whatever. Then handle the clipboard manipulation and pasting using a pastekey handler So, assuming your array is named pArray then... local pArray on pasteKey put the keys of pArray into tImages # present the user with some method of selecting which image they want to paste (e.g. a list field or an answer dialog) # get the relevant key (tKey) set the clipboardData[image] to pArray[tKey] # delete the key from pArray paste end pasteKey Does that help?

I want the images to be stored as separate images so they be pasted into a document as separated images.

Re: Does LC Have A touchLoc() Function?
Um, I believe mouseloc works in IOS. Or am I misunderstanding what you are asking for.

I'm not seeing anything in dictionaries or release notes, but it's possible I'm missing it. Currently, there doesn't seem to be any way to poll the current active touches, which is something that has always been possible on desktop with the mouseLoc function. Using touchMove is not an option, because this only fires when there's movement of some kind. I'd like to open a feature request for a touchLoc(id) function that would return the loc of a touch id, and a touchLocs() function which would return all currently active touch ids and their locations. Unless this already exists, or there's some other way of getting this information and I'm just not seeing it.
