Finding common words and phrases in a large block of text?
Hi – I’m looking to analyse some large block of text (journal abstracts from key educational technology journals over a several year period) to find common words and phrases. Finding common words should be easy enough but I’m not clear on what approach to take for finding common phrases (iterating through the text capturing overlapping word runs of various lengths?). Any ideas on how best to proceed?

I'm probably misunderstanding what you're trying to do, but a couple of observations: 1. if you open the PB and then set the loc of it, both in your openStack (or preOpenStack) handler, then the browser should appear where you tell it to. 2. trying to do this in a standalone app is bound to fail. The PB is part if the LiveCode IDE, and thus a separate application from your standalone. If you really need to launch the browser in the IDE then you'll need to set up a means of communication between the two. Most probably socket communication via a plugin stack, but ymmv. -- Mark Wieder ahsoftw...@gmail.com ___ 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: starting the Project Browser
Hi,
does this help?
revIDETogglePalette "Project Browser"
you can test if the Project Browser is visible
put revIDEPaletteIsVisible("project browser")
Kind regards

Luckily, by not saving the stack at that point and commenting out that call, the settings came back .. whew! This was on LC Business v8.1.9 on Windows 7 enterprise SP1. There are a series of Project Browser related livecodescript files in (my install): C:\Program Files (x86)\RunRev\LiveCode Business 8.1.9\Toolset however none of them seem to (directly) reference any Standalone functionality. ...

Re: Sorting search results - solution needed
I think this comes pretty close to the requirement. It breaks the lines down into numeric/not numeric items, and then sorts from the least significant (rightmost) to most significant items. For each sort, sorts first by alpha, then numeric. That results in letters being sorted before numbers, which seemed wrong for this application, so I added the returnOnlyNumbers function that (nearly) guarantees letters sorting after numbers. If the parenthesis etc. gets in the way, then removing them from the sort could be done by building an array mapping the original list to the sort keys, and then sorting on a function that returns the appropriate sort key. But for now this seems pretty close. function sortByAlternateNumericItems lineList,D -- takes a line list and a delimiter D that must not be in the lineList -- breaks each line down into numeric/non-numeric items -- then sorts by the items, from least significant (rightmost) to most significant. -- for each sort, sorts first by alpha, then numeric, so numbers sort before letters if D is in lineList then answer warning D && "is in the list" with cancel exit to top end if put 0 into maxItems repeat for each line L in lineList put numericItems(L,D) into newL get the number of items of newL if it > maxItems then put it into maxItems put newL & cr after R end repeat delete char -1 of R set the itemDel to D repeat with i = maxItems down to 1 sort lines of R by item i of each sort lines of R numeric by returnOnlyNumbers(item i of each) end repeat replace D with empty in R return R end sortByAlternateNumericItems function returnOnlyNumbers N if N is a number then return N else return 999 end returnOnlyNumbers function numericItems S,D -- returns the string S broken into number/not-number items, delimited by D -- D must be chosen so that it does not occur in S if D is in S then answer warning D && "is in" && S with cancel exit to top end if put char 1 of S is a number into isNum put 1 into B repeat with E = 2 to length(S) if isNum then if (char B to E of S is a number) then next repeat put (char B to E - 1 of S) & D after R put E into B put false into isNum else if char B to E of S is a number then put true into isNum else repeat with NB = B + 1 to E if char NB to E of S is not a number then next repeat put (char B to NB - 1 of S) & D after R put NB into B put true into isNum exit repeat end repeat end if end repeat return R & char B to E of S end numericItems This sorts this list: 187 187.01 187.02 187.1 187.22 187.234 187.3 187.33 187.456 10187 18700 187 (a) 187 (b) 187 (b)(1) 187 (a)(1) 187.1.1 187.1.2 187.c 187a 187c 187 a 187 1 1 a c b to this: 1 187 187a 187c 187 1 187 (a) 187 (a)(1) 187 (b) 187 (b)(1) 187 a 187.c 187.01 187.02 187.1.1 187.1.2 187.1 187.22 187.234 187.3 187.33 187.456 10187 18700 a b c On Wed, Oct 24, 2018 at 9:08 AM Bob Sneidar via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > I should have said, in the loop keep adding a character until the value is > no longer a number, then sort numeric by the last value. > > Bob S > > > > On Oct 23, 2018, at 14:14 , Bob Sneidar via use-livecode < > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > > > > This of course cannot be a numeric sort.

Re: [ANN] Network Tracer
Bob, It is a joke but it is also true :-) For example, in the Network Tracer stack there is code to avoid showing duplicate messages because here on my home network, all the datagrams are arriving three times. So a single "ntInfo" call on a standalone amounted to three datagrams with the same message arriving on the dashboard. But arriving multiple times is better than not arriving, which also happens. I am considering in the near future going like my "decentralization talk on LC Global" and use UDP for peer discovery and TCP for sending actual data, it is just that UDP is so convenient and for this simple debugging purpose it is quite adequate. Anyway, we'll see how the feedback goes and change as needed. For my own personal usage it is going great. Cheers On 10/24/2018 3:23 PM, Bob Sneidar via use-livecode wrote: Hah!

This is a zero-configuration plugin and library combination that creates a "networked log" experience to help you debug your LC solutions. To use it, you open the Dashboard stack in the IDE (you can add it to your plugins folder if you want) and then add the library stack (and start using it) from your stacks. Any call to the APIs provided will appear in the Dashboard stack provided that both the Dashboard and the standalone (or another IDE on another machine) are both in the same network (LAN, WIFI) and the your firewall is allowing incoming connections on port 8001 (should just work). I've prepared a nice video for you to check out: https://vimeo.com/296722452 And also a page about it: http://andregarzia.com/livecode/networktracer.html The plugin costs GBP 40 and it has the potential to really speed up your development, just watch the video to be amazed.

Re: [ANN] Network Tracer
Dear Tom, The TypeTool mostly acts on the "the selobj" so unless you start changing the scripts, it won't make much sense on a standalone. On the other hand, all the stacks are unlocked and you have access to the full source. You can pick the code from it and patch it to your own needs. For a standalone, I think the best solution is just to edit a copy of the TypeTool stack until it suits your needs.

is anyone able to use fileDSN for ODBC connections in LC?
Hi,
i am not able to use fileDSN for ODBC connections to a SQL server in LC
Windows. Under Mac i did not test it already.
With fileDSN you define all the odbc settings/parameters in a file with the
suffix .dsn.
When connecting using ODBC you can then use that dsn file. No need to setup an
ODBC configuration.
Is anyone using it with success?
I´ve setup the fileDSN correctly in ODBC Manager in Windows to use the folder
"c:\users\matthias\documents" as fileDSN folder
The folder contains a file test.dsn
In LC Windows i tried to connect with a connection string, but getting
different errors.
with
get revOpenDatabase("ODBC","FILEDSN=c:\users\matthias\documents\test.dsn",,,)
i am getting this error:
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Ungültige Zeichenfolgen- oder Pufferlänge
In English something like this: Invalid string or buffer length
with
get revOpenDatabase("ODBC","FILEDSN=test.dsn",,,)
i am getting this error:
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Der Datenquellenname wurde nicht gefunden, und
es wurde kein Standardtreiber angegeben
In english something like this:
The data source could not be found and there was not default driver defined
and using the normal way using a DSN, where the dsn is the name of the fileDSN
get revopendatabase("ODBC","test",,"matthias","mypassword")
Error:
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Der Datenquellenname wurde nicht gefunden, und
es wurde kein Standardtreiber angegeben
In english something like this:
The data source could not be found and there was not default driver defined
Before i file a bug report about it i want to make sure, that no one is
successfully using fileDSN.

Re: Sorting search results - solution needed
As Craig said, your rules are not consistent to standards:
You sort *after* the first period numeric with the exception
that leading zeros are "valid".
That's why the replace in the following function is needed.
This now yields exactly your custom sort order:
function gregSort s
set itemdel to "."
sort s numeric by offset("a",each)
sort s numeric by offset("b",each)
sort s numeric by offset("c",each)
replace ".0" with ".0." in s --> begin make leading zeros valid
