Hi Peter,

This happened to me a couple of years ago which an old stack being updated to 
new LC format
I've lost all those standard group behaviour... I deleted them from all cards 
and redo.
Unfortunately, don't remember the full details.

Good luck,

​Yes, I have one...​

​from memory:​

​the latest LC version which should work fine is 8.1.2 (stable)

this bug was introduced when upgrading the PCRE lib from 8.33 to 8.39

​
Of course, better to check if what I'm saying is right
as yesterday I was travelling all night :)

​I guess both methods are safe?

I'm using it within a Livecode Mail Composer.
Based on an export of my server DB, I'm scanning some address,
build dynamically the html-email and send one by one all emails.

Executing it again (same code and context) and all is fine then.



- about the ResponseHeaders out parameter:

In both cases, the email is sent and received correctly.

​So, you win your first Regex training :)

(?ms) are regex options.

m means multi-lines
s means the dot ( '.' ) could also match a return/cr/lf char.

​Well, you are right:
 but only when the regex will try to match after the last valid pattern.

What is most costly is the delete inside the loop; so working only with the
... of your html might be more efficient in this case. But
this is more a LC thing.

​Yep, as I said, only after the last match, the regex will loop through the
end
of the html and only one time. About quality concerns, restricting the
regex to the  part is a good idea as you never know what could be
some html in the future...

​That's 2 different ways..
but with the regex one, you have the exact key and value of each tags,
nothing more to do.​


Either way it would seem prudent to extract the head first before processing

​I was aware of that but didn't know what you want to achieve, therefore I
leave it for the reader.
However this has nothing to do with the regex but with the code inside the
repeat loop.


Here is another way to do it, changing only *1* line of code inside the loop
with the same regex as before:



  -- to please BR wishes, but not necessary
  -- erase everything after 
   put replaceText( _Html, "(?ms).*?$", empty) into _Html

   repeat while matchChunk( _Html, Rx, p1,p2,p3,p4 )
  put  char p1 to p2 of _Html & tab& char p3 to p4 of _Html   after
Rslt
  delete char 1 to p4 of _Html
   end repeat
   delete last char of Rslt -- extra cr

   put Rslt into fld 1
   answer "Got " & the number of lines of Rslt & " og: meta tags!"


Building a multi-dimensionnal array after the extraction,
a bit more work inside the repeat loop will be needed,
but  the extraction part is still valid.
​

​

Finally, if you are not at ease with regex, go with Jacque's way and
everything will be fine.
There are fundamentally not much differences in between the 2 ways.


Kind regards,

Thierry

Looks like "idiot simple text extraction"



​Hi,

Here is a quick coded piece of code, tested only on your URL.
I did write this regex based on the Datas you provide in your email.
​

​Every time you see any kind of scraping/search/extraction/transformation
in JS, you can be sure
it's possible to do it in LiveCode​

So, here is the code:

   local Rx, Rslt, _Html, OG

   put empty into Rslt
   put URL "https://www.youtube.com/user/kauaiaadheenam; into _Html

   get
"(?ms)<meta\s+property=\x{22}og:(.+?)\x{22}\s+content=\x{22}(.+?)\x{22}>"
   put IT into Rx

   repeat while matchChunk( _Html, Rx,p1,p2,p3,p4 )
  put  char p3 to p4 of _Html  into OG[  char p1 to p2 of _Html ]
  delete char 1 to p4 of _Html
   end repeat



and you can test it this way:

   combine OG using return and ":"
   put OG into fld 1





HTH and feel free to ask any question...

Kind regards,

Thierry

​Ok, back after my second morning coffee :)

A better way to check for Chinese code points would be
something like that (not tested and never used myself) :


function testForChinese utf8Text
   return matchText( utf8Text, "\p{Han}")
end testForChinese

Of course, it won't work with  htmlText, but straight with
the text of a field, assuming it's coded in UTF8 !!!


HTH,

This audio message is telling you that you have a Trial-Demo version

There is *no audio message with the licensed one*!

This is the only difference between the Trial and the licensed version.

Re: Regex help...

[Thierry Douez via use-livecode]

@Paul,
to defend you, it's not always so obvious to know what we can or cannot do
with regex.


@Mike
yes, Perl is great and that's certainly why I have embeded Perl in
LiveCode, Mmm, more than 10 years ago.

I've also helped some well known LiveCoders to do some complex
transformation with Perl where
they were lost in pure LiveCode script; but this is another story.

By the way, there is a not free LiveCode library called sunnYrex which
accepts LiveCode script inside
the replacement text.. pretty cool too but not useful in Paul use case.

Kind regards,

Thierry

Re: Regex help...

[Thierry Douez via use-livecode]

Hi Paul,


AFAIK you need to deal with an hybrid approach (regex + livecode)

So, here is one way to do it:


   put 3 into pPage

   repeat for each line T in tCiCData

  if matchText( T, "(?x) \t (\d+) , \d+ ,  (\d+)  , \d+ \z", n1, n2)
then

  if (n1 <= pPage) and (n2 >= pPage) then

  put T & cr after tCiCfilteredData

  end if

  end if

   end repeat

   put tCiCfilteredData


But for the curious with an open-mind here is another solution:


   get "perl -ne 'print if /\t(\d+),\d+,(\d+),\d+$(?(?{$1>PP ||
$2<PP})(*FAIL))/'"

   get replaceText( IT, "PP", pPage)

   put shell( IT && "/your/path/CiCData.txt")


What? the regex do the comparison!
Well yes and no; in Perl we can embed Perl code *inside* the regex,
like: (?{$1>PP || $2<PP})

$1>PP || $2:

sort lines of T numeric by AaZz_sort(char 1 of each)

function AaZz_sort x
   get chartonum( x)
   if IT > 96 then return ( IT - 96) * 2 + 1

​Sorry about the delay, we had a thunderstorm which broke all Internet
network
in our area since last Friday.

You can do this in 2 ways:

- make your .* non greedy by adding a '?' suffix

- or modify your regex this way:

   "\[ [^\]]*]" which means looking for an open bracket followed by zero to
any number of chars which are not a close bracket, and last a close bracket.
BTW, no need to escape the last closing bracket; the regex engine is smart
enough.


PCRE library accepts the 2 forms.

HTH,

Thierry

Re: Sort so that "Hello" is always before "hello"

[Thierry Douez via use-livecode]

A slight variation from Hermann's code,
working *only* with ASCII:


sort lines of T numeric by AaZz_sort( each)


function AaZz_sort x
   get chartonum( char 1 of x)
   if IT > 96 then return ( IT - 96) * 2 + 1

I've never seen it written that way before.


​

This should be a one-line command!
I've typed this post with the new Opera browser
???


Another try with 2 lines:

put "1 [A] 2 [B] 3." into tText
put  removeBrackets( tText)

​Better?

Hi Greg,

You can do it  via another shell() call with the kill command.
Of course, you need the ID of the process you did started before.

Re: iOS Background Audio rejection.

[Thierry Douez]

Mmm, just did a test:

COPY:  ./Applications/LiveCode Indy
8.1.1(rc1).app/Contents/Runtime/iOS/Device-10.0/Settings.plist

INTO:~/Desktop/Info.plist

in BBEdit, edit   ./Desktop/Info.plist and add
Thierry
Douez

Here are the latest lines of this file:

UIFileSharingEnabled
${FILE_SHARING}
UIPrerenderedIcon
${PRE_RENDERED_ICON}
UIAppFonts

${CUSTOM_FONTS}

Thierry
Douez



SAVE IT.

Then, in LC 8.1.1:

Open Standalone Applications Settings for Test4iOS

Go to Copy Files Tab:

Add : ~/Desktop/Info.plist

Save and build the iOS Test4iOS .app

Then, go where the app was built, and open "Test4iOS .app"

Open the Info.plist file, and here are the latest lines:


UIFileSharingEnabled

UIPrerenderedIcon

UIAppFonts



    Thierry
    Douez

Re: regex to add a variable to calls

​Here is one way to do it.


*on* mouseUp

*put* "getVal\([^)]+(?=\))" into theRegex

*put* "\0,dbtr" into smartReplaceText

*if* sunnyreplace( fld "f1", theRegex, smartReplaceText, outText) *then*

*put* outText into fld "f2"

*end* *if*

*end* mouseUp

​

​some sample input text in fld "F1" :

get getVal(a)

put getVal(a,b) into z

put getVal(a,b,c) && getVal(a,b,c) into y


and results in fld "f2":

get getVal(a,dbtr)

put getVal(a,b,dbtr) into z

put getVal(a,b,c,dbtr) && getVal(a,b,c,dbtr) into y


Is this what you are looking for?

Re: Don't understand unicode handling

[Thierry Douez]

Hallo Tiemo,


from: http://lessons.livecode.com/m/4071/l/12304-how-do-i-use-unicode-in-rev


To import text from a UTF-8 file and display it in our stack we just need
to read it in, uniEncode() it and then display it as we learnt earlier.

*put* url ("file:greek.txt") into tUnicodeText

*set* the unicodeText of field 1 to uniEncode(tUnicodeText,"UTF8")

If we want to export text from our stack we simply go in the other direction

*put* uniDecode(the unicodeText of field 1,"UTF8") into tUTF8Text

*put* tUTF8Text into url("file:greek2.txt")



Guess it's what you need

Thierry

Ludovic,

Try this:

Copy the template plist from out of LC.

Edit it the way you like.

Name it Info.plist and add it to copy files in Standalone settings.

I never did it but I think I've seen this trick in this list a couple of

​Hi,

What happens when you do this:

  put shell("open -h")

should return the help summary.
If not, then you have a PATH problem.

​Well, as I don't know your context,
I'm not sure if speed is really a problem here?

Anyway, you make me feel curious about this,
and I've checked the speed against 3 variants.

First, I generated 2 lists of numbers.


   repeat with i=1 to 1000
  get random( 1000)
  put IT & cr after LinesOfNumbers
  put IT & comma after OneLineOfNumbers
   end repeat
   delete last char of LinesOfNumbers
   delete last char of OneLineOfNumbers


Then, run:



   put 100 into nRepeat

   put the milliseconds into _ct
   -- case 1
   repeat nRepeat
  put min( replaceText( LinesOfNumbers, return,comma))  into min1
   end repeat

   put (the milliseconds - _ct)  / nRepeat into timing1

   wait 1 ticks with messages
   put the milliseconds into _ct

   -- case 2
   repeat nRepeat
   replace return with comma in LinesOfNumbers
  put min( LinesOfNumbers)  into min2
   end repeat

   put (the milliseconds - _ct)  / nRepeat into timing2

   wait 1 ticks with messages
   put the milliseconds into _ct

   -- case 3
   repeat nRepeat
  put min( OneLineOfNumbers) into min3
   end repeat

   put (the milliseconds - _ct)  / nRepeat into timing3




   answer format( "Done in %.2f - %.2f -  %.2f  /%s",  timing1,  timing2,
timing3, min1 is min2)

​


​Trying it few times for a list of 1000 items,

we have the winner which obviously is case 3: 1,47 ms
case 1 is 1,85 ms and case 2 is 4,5 ms.

Increase the number of items  to 1,
then you'll see much more distant results.

But now, if you 're working with a list of 10 items,
it really doesn't matter as the result are:

0,07 0,04, 0,03 ms

Hope you find this interesting.

That's was true, it's still true and will always be true!


and here are some benchmarks
done in a late rainy sunday evening:


* Regex2 faster than Chunk by: 2.1 times*


For the details:

1) Regex1 is the original regex, Chunk1 is  from Richard, Regex2 is mine.
2) You can noticed the difference in time depending on the value of pPage
( that's a normal behavior with regex)
3) I've done the calculation the same way as Richard did, so you can compare



**  aPage = 1, Same? true true
Regex1: 8943 ms
Chunk1: 210 ms
Regex2: 99 ms
Regex2 faster than orig regex by: 90.3 times
Regex2 faster than Chunk by: 2.1 times

**  aPage = 2, Same? true true
Regex1: 9946 ms
Chunk1: 212 ms
Regex2: 100 ms
Regex2 faster than orig regex by: 99.5 times
Regex2 faster than Chunk by: 2.1 times

**  aPage = 3, Same? true true
Regex1: 4451 ms
Chunk1: 210 ms
Regex2: 98 ms
Regex2 faster than orig regex by: 45.4 times
Regex2 faster than Chunk by: 2.1 times

**  aPage = 4, Same? true true
Regex1: 11465 ms
Chunk1: 200 ms
Regex2: 98 ms
Regex2 faster than orig regex by: 117 times
Regex2 faster than Chunk by: 2 times

**  aPage = 5, Same? true true
Regex1: 11457 ms
Chunk1: 201 ms
Regex2: 94 ms
Regex2 faster than orig regex by: 121.9 times
Regex2 faster than Chunk by: 2.1 times

Re: AW: Re: Regex help needed...

[Thierry Douez]

There's huge differences in how regex implementations perform in different

>


​Last year, I did some experiments:

I had a 100 lines of LiveCode with a bunch of really big Regex.
It took 120 seconds on my Macbook to run.

I tried diffferent ways to write/modify the regex, and it always keep
running
around 120 seconds.


Then, using my sunnYperl external,
I copy/paste all my regex ( not one modification )
and rewrite the LC part in Perl (a bit more work but not that much).

I came down to 9 seconds.

Re: Compare numeric strings with leading zeros

[Thierry Douez]

You can use build-in functions which manipulate strings.

Please, try this one:

on mouseUp
   local userTyping = 5
   local myVeryStrongPassword = "005"
   if matchText( userTyping, myVeryStrongPassword) then
  answer "Great!"
   else
  answer "Too bad :( try again.."
  put "005" into userTyping
  if matchText( userTyping, myVeryStrongPassword) then answer "Great!"
   end if
end mouseUp

Thierry

Hi,

This was a direct answer to this thread:

 "compare numeric strings with leading zeros" !

Yes,
myVeryStrongPassword is a regular expression in a pure litteral form.

Yes, the order of the parameters have a meaning, but this is true
for so much functions in LC. So, I don't get it :(

Was not asked by the OP.

Ok then, so new  rules here:)

>local userTyping = "5"
>local myVeryStrongPassword = "^5$"

If your password can contains any chars,
Just tell it to matchText():

my password can be any character and I don't want you to
interpret them in any ways!

For that,
enclose your myVeryStrongPassword by "\Q" & "\E" and it
will be interpreted as litteral characters.


> Since Ralph is looking to use this for password validation,
> I would throw in a case sensitivity check as well:

For this one, there is nothing special to do.
If it will be case insensitive you could add a prefix to the regex: (?i)

so the final matchText() solution is:

put  "\Q^5$\E"  into  myVeryStrongPassword
if matchText( userTyping,  myVeryStrongPassword ) then ...


Ok, now I'm waiting for what I've missed...

Have all a nice day or night.

Re: LC676 IDE change in behavior?

[Thierry Douez]

Here it is:

http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15721

and if you can provide a sample stack,
it could help (see my last comment in qcc)

Re: Extracting a reference to a stack

[Thierry Douez]

Here is a regex solution.

and as a bonus, in 3 variants:

on mouseUp
   --button id 1003 of card id 1002 of stack stack 2
   --of stack /Users/t/Desktop/stack.livecode

   put fld L1 into aLongID

   put theStackOwner( aLongID) into field L2

   put theMainStackOwner( aLongID) into field L3

   put stackOwners( aLongID) into R

   if R is empty then put not found into fld L4
   else put item 1 of R  ---  item 2 of R into field L4
end mouseUp



function theStackOwner pLongID
   if matchText(pLongID, of stack \x22(.*?)\x22, _1) then return _1
   return not found
end theStackOwner

function theMainStackOwner pLongID
   if matchText(pLongID, of stack \x22([^\x22]*)\x22$, _1) then return _1
   return not found
end theMainStackOwner

function stackOwners pLongID
   local REX
   put (?: of stack \x22([^\x22]*?)\x22)? of stack
\x22([^\x22]*)\x22$ into REX
   if matchText(pLongID, REX, _1, _2) then return _1 comma _2
   return empty
end stackOwners

Did a quick test, so it works here,
plus I put the word stack in the stack names for a more severe test.

As I hate to write  quote  in my code,
\x22 is the ASCII value for the quote char.

Not tested on LC 7 yet.

Regards,

Thierry

Re: Extracting a reference to a stack

[Thierry Douez]

 Yep - and being a lazy person this is how I get the stack reference:

 function ObjectStack pObj
return char (offset( of stack , pObj)+4) to -1 of pObj
 end ObjectStack


Not always beneficial to be lazy :)

I tried your code with the long ID I gave previously
without success.

Thierry

Re: mergJSON, externals and Livecode Server

HTH,

 Hi - I'm looking to switch from parsing JSON with scripts to Monte's
 external (which i've been using on mobile / desktop for a while and works
 great) - but I can't get it working (Im on Ubuntu 14.04 with DigitalOcean)
 and Livecode server version 7.06 rc3).

 It's either because the external does not work on the distro I have (from
 memory it's a 64 bit server install), or more likely I'm doing something
 stupid like not registering the external properly.

 Any pointers as to how to register externals for a server / how to check
 they are installed - I'm getting an empty response from:

- the externalpackages of stack home

 which is probably the wrong thing to do on a server anyway :)

Re: mergJSON, externals and Livecode Server

[Thierry Douez]

and here a previous post from Mark Wieder:

A coworker hipped me to the fact that OSX has a built-in json parser.
As does linux.

Takes input from stdin and sends to stdout, so

json_pp  filename

will parse and pretty-print a json file for you.

I was feeling uneasy about posting json data to online parsers,
and this does the trick quite nicely.

Best,
Thierry

Re: Referencing a control name

[Thierry Douez]

Hi Sri,

Try this:

on mouseUp
   put the width of field Field1
   put the width of (field Field1)
end mouseUp

but put this script in a button, not the message box!

This should give you the trick.

HTH,

 The parenthesis placements are key in such references as they change the
 order of command processing.

 For example:
 1. Create a button Test1 of width 82 (say)
 2. Create a field Field1 of width 168 (say) containing the text: /button
 Test1/
 3. Type into message box
 put the width of field Field1
 Answer: 168
 4. Type into message box
 put the width of (field Field1)
 Answer: 82

 Sri

 I was wondering if there is a way to do a shell that has sudo in it?

 On the first attempt (Note dart is an internal application)

 put shell (sudo dart)

 I get the following error message

 sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified

 Is there any way to run sudo from the shell?

 thanks,

 Glen

Re: discovering externals on iOS

Scott Morrow sc...@elementarysoftware.com:

Hi Scott,

 Is there any way to discover (from a script)
 whether a particular external is available in a compiled iOS app.

AFAIK, No.

 I’m using “try / catch” and that seems to work
 but I was hoping for something I could query ahead of the fact.

That's the way I would do it...


HTH,

Thierry

Re: iOS iPAd development question

[Thierry Douez]

Hi Glen,

You might find interesting to know a bit more:

Apple has changed its policy regarding permissions required to build
and run apps on devices. Until now, Apple required users to pay
$99/year to become a member of Apple’s Developer Program in order to
run code on physical iPhone and iPads. As part of the new Developer
Program, this is no longer required. Apps can be tested on devices, no
purchase necessary.

From very old memories:

set the repeatcount of me to 0 -- to stop
set the repeatcount of me to -1 -- to loop forever
set the repeatcount of me to 42 -- to lop 42 times

Thierry



 Does anyone know if there is away to stop and start these
 animations?

 What they said  ;-)


You wake up my curiosity :)

So, I check the repeatcount and it works as expected with LC 6.7.5 on Mac.

Otherwise, if you try my sunnymidi tutorial, there is a gif animation
(Laurel and Hardy)
which is moved frame by frame with a music note generated at a specific frame.
It works too.

This reminds me that some gifs are not readable with Livecode
but Im not an expert on this topic.

Thierry

 You can also run the loop by yourself by setting the currentframe (assuming
 you're set the repeatcount to 0) You'd need to get the framecount of the
 image so you know how many frames to manage with your frame loop.

Re: Something like charIndex, but in a variable...

[Thierry Douez]

 orange banana tomato
 banana tomato orange
 tomato banana orange

Experimenting with regex...
Sorry, couldn't resist :)


function MalteCharIndex T, nWord, nLine,@p1, @p2
   get format( (?mx)(?: .*? \\n){%d}   (?: (\\w+) [\\W]*){%d}, nLine
-1, nWord)
   return matchChunk( T,  IT, p1, p2)
end MalteCharIndex


and run it this way:

on mouseUp
   put  field fEntry into theText
   put 5 into nLine
   put 7 into nWord
   if MalteCharIndex(  theText, nWord, nLine, tStart, tEnd) then
  select  char tStart to tEnd of fld fEntry
   else
  beep
   end if
end mouseUp

Did a couple of tests and looks good so far.

Sure, a lot of room for improvement.
