Ventura 1.3 - revcopyfile

[Jean-Jacques Wagner via use-livecode]

Hi,
Last Sunday I upgrade to ventura 1.3 and since then I am in  big troubles. The 
function revcopyfile does not work anymore.
I have stack to manage files (over 8000 pdf files), which with  revcopyfile are 
getting corrupt. There are not anymore openable
using preview, but also pages dokument are getting lost or corrupt, because not 
anymore reopenable.

Some time a file placed in a folder is not anymore openable, moving it on the 
desktop, there is sometime against openable.

I pin down the problems on a script, where I do makes on regular basis a backup 
of  about 10 textfiles (Wrangler) and 20 stacks, 
so using revcopyfile and rename file to do it. The backup is not longer 
functioning, make no copies of the files anymore. Just one
old stack, which I don not use for year is copied.

So I can spend just now the time to go more deeper and investigate on the 
problem, since I have to be careful not to loose my 
documents which I will have to deliver within the next 5 days. But at first I 
couldn’t at a time open document, then I was able to
pin down thats was not the system but the function revcopyfile should be at the 
center of the problems. Possibly it has to do with
AppleScript (I hate this app, which was and is almost a copy of hypercard in a 
very bad manner) on which revcopyfile should work.

This is an alert, I will be able to go deeper finding the trouble by end of 
next week. 

Have  a 
 nice 
 Easter 
!

Jean-Jacques Wagner

Re: use-livecode Digest, Vol 225, Issue 4

[Jean-Jacques Wagner via use-livecode]

Hi
Sorry, I ment  the number of words.

Since numtochar has been depreciated with version 7.0, the closest would be now 
 numtonativechar. 
However with numtonativechar () for the words boundaries the following chars 
number “09,10,11,12,13,32,202” are used.

Therefore a feature has been depreciated with introduction of version 7.0, it 
is a long time ago. Originally it was not so,
eg. (“numtochar(32)&numtochar(202)&numtochar(32)) was a word, which was not 
visible on the screen, but visible for
the script. Now it makes very little sense to use the special char 202 instead 
of numtochar(32).

Sincerely,

Jean-Jacques Wagner.

char as word boundary

[Jean-Jacques Wagner via use-livecode]

Hi,
Version 6.7word boudary are char number 09,10,11,12,13,32
version 9.67  word boudary are char number 09,10,11,12,13,32,202

Hypercard and livecode 6.7:  the number of chars (numtochar(32)& 
numtochar(202)&numtochar(32)& numtochar(202)&numtochar(32)) = 2
livecode 9.67  :   the number of chars (numtochar(32)& 
numtochar(202)&numtochar(32)& numtochar(202)&numtochar(32)) = 0

Is it a change or a bug considering now numtochar(202) as word boundary, as it 
is with numtochar(32)

Sincerely,

Jean-Jacques Wagner.

Re: Most streamlined method to get data

[Jean-Jacques Wagner via use-livecode]

Hi
put replacetext(varlist,quote,numtochar(29)) into varlist2
set the itemdelimiter to numtochar(29)
go each second item numtochar(29) to extract the komma or do whatever wirth it 
which does not interfer with other char
 the comma to another char
put replacetext (valist2,numtochar(29),quote) into varlist
set the itemdelimiter to komma
..continue to work

instead of 29 use 28, 30 or 31 , rsp one of them which you are not using within 
your list.

replacetext is very fast

Re: how to format text for copy-pasting as a spreadsheet table

[Jean-Jacques Wagner via use-livecode]

Hallo,
I did it in pages and its works. I had an other problem with the soft-return, 
it is to import text with lines in the same cells. 

Can somebody tell me, how to do this. I tried with several chars, also 16 bits 
chars and never succeed.

Tanks

Breakpoint

[Jean-Jacques Wagner via use-livecode]

Hallo
Still working with on 6.7.7 but experiencing a lot of troubles with breakpoint, 
can’t set, have to activate before each run otherwise don’t trigger. Script 
debugging become a nightmare. I’ll never have seen such a bad behavior. Does 
anyone nows how to circumvent this missbehavior.
