Hanging indents?
Has anyone managed to create a hanging indent within a LC field? I’ve played around with tabstops and indents (first, left whatever) but don’t seem to be getting anywhere. Any ideas?

Re: Console container for put function?
Ah k. Honestly, I suspect checking the environment to decide where to output is the best way. Don't think I see an easy way around the way things work. If it wasn't possible to put things into fields in the server environment, I'd say it would be nice if any puts whatsoever defaulted to stdout, but that isn't the case.

AW: fastes way to search an array?
Hi Mike, my first description wasn't very exact. Actually these are two different cases, which occur not together. One time I need a search with begins and another time with contains. And I decided to stay with such a standard repeat loop thru the array, without extracting the keys before or using any extra commands like filter.

The engine auto inserts the first line: script stackname.I see that when I look at the file with a text editor. When I edit the script of the stack in livecode the script stackname line is missing. Yes - that is correct. The best way to think about script only stacks is that there are an alternative file format which can be used if you only want to keep the stack script. It just so happens that (being text) the file format works quite well for use in things such as git :) Will there be any problems if there are two script stackname statements in the text file. This could occur if the user adds it when in the livecode editor. Yes - you shouldn't do that :) Script only stacks should be used and edited just as you would any other stack - the only difference is that you can use them with VCS very easily (of course, you *can* create and edit them with a text editor if that is your want, but that isn't really what they are designed for). What is the recommended method for determining if a stack is a script only stack? There is no direct way to detect whether a stack is script-only currently beyond seeing if the first word of the on-disk file is script.

Re: where does revsecurity.dll comes from?
Hi Dave Thanks for this detailed answer. I must say I have a complete different experience : I have been testing several apps of mine on various win versions (xp, vista, 7) without revsecurity.dll and never got any warning of any kind... Besides, my clients have been using the same apps on the same win versions + win 8, and with various anti-virus, but never informed me of any warning... And since they're all almost 100% computer illiterate, the would surely have ringed my phone in panic in case of any warning... Does anyone have a logical explanation for that ?

I’m trying to find a better way than: if the environment is “server” then put tResult else put tResult after Field tReport end Two options come to mind, each with their own tradeoffs: 1. Custom put handler You could use something like MyPut instead of put, so the branching is in just one place. Easy to write, but difficult to accommodate since it would mean changing every place you currently use put. 2. revMessageBoxRedirect That's a global property which is empty by default, and when empty put output goes to stdOut when faceless and to a stack named Message Box when in the IDE as you found. But when set to the long ID of any object, that object will then receive msgChanged messages for any puts which could be handled however you like, such as displaying the msg string in a field in your own stack. The downside with the latter is that as long as the revMessageBoxRedirect is not empty, you'll be responsible for handling all Message Box actions; that is, you'll lose the IDE's Message Box as a place for output, for any and all scripts that might otherwise put to it. But if that's what you're looking for, revMessageBoxRedirect can be handy. I have a Message Box replacement that uses it and it's been a godsend. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ambassa...@fourthworld.comhttp://www.FourthWorld.coms ___ 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: Console container for put function?
Hi Mike Thanks for your response. I should have explained why I was asking such a question. I’m planning on writing some library functions for testing that can be called from either a GUI stack or a server script. When called from a GUI script it will display its results in a Field, when called from a server script it will displays its result in the console. I’m trying to find a better way than: if the environment is “server” then put tResult else put tResult after Field tReport end Peter On 24 Apr 2015, at 11:54, Mike Bonner bonnm...@gmail.com wrote: Just a straight put is the way to go.

The garden path was productive, it led me to a fix. :) However, given your specific case where even if you edit the manifest in the runtime folder it fails I think there's more to the problem. I've certainly been able to do that to add permissions that aren't on the SB dialog etc. I'm still trying to figure out why my manifest isn't working but yours does. Do you think line endings matter?
