Re: Finding orphaned "put"

[Richard Gaskin]

IIRC the trick with revMessageBoxRedirect is to obtain the value of the 
Message Box contents from the global variable "message" (or "msg").

Re: Finding orphaned "put"

[Alex Tweedly]

I can't quite seem to figure out how that works. (With both 5.5.3 and 
6.0, I get the following )


If I set revMessageBoxRedirect to the long ID of a field, then the 
contents of the field get updated as though it had been the message box; 
i.e. the field is updated, but there is no "msgChanged" message sent. 
(Not received by a handler in the field, and not shown by Development / 
Watch Messages).


If I set revMessageBoxRedirect to the long ID of a button then the 
button does receive "msgChanged" messages - but there are no parameters 
passed.


Maybe I'm missing something - but the code I'm testing with is pretty simple

(in my Button script)
on mouseUp
   if revMessageBoxRedirect is empty then
  set revMessageBoxRedirect to the long ID of me
   else
  set revMessageBoxRedirect to empty
   end if
end mouseUp

on msgChanged p
   put "got" && paramcount() && p &CR after field "F"
end msgChanged

(or change "long ID of me" to "long ID of field "F"" to test the other 
case).

Director is great. There is nothing else like it. It's Adobe that are the 
problem.

I like the idea. As currently written, there's a single system property
called "revmessageboxlastobject" that contains three items:

long id, handler, line number

Unfortunately, since it's a system property it's part of the engine and so a
scripted workaround won't work. It would be nice to have an array instead.

Well, it sort of does, but instead of the line number in the property being
the actual line number in the text it's the line number inside the handler.
So the button takes you to the wrong line in the script unless you happen to
be dealing with the first handler in the script and there's nothing (no
empty lines, etc.) before it. I like it as a proof of concept, though.

They're coming from me, guys. I use orphaned "puts" sometimes. Usually I 
PUT IN ALL CAPS WITH A SPECIAL COMMENT --### so I can find them later 
but if some of them escape, you never know where they'll end up.


I think my socks are behind the dryer, so who knows what they're turning

Re: Finding orphaned "put"

[Alex Tweedly]

I agree it's not been hyped (or praised) as much as it deserves.

But, it's also not as good as it should have been :-(

Having had the great idea of keeping this info, someone should have said

   "let's keep that info for *every* line (actually, every section) of 
output in the msg box"


and then have the "target" button take you to the line number in the 
script for any specified line.
(And in fact, why not keep the whole executioncontexts, and the 
millisecs, for every bit of output with some way to access it all when 
needed ??)


I personally don't use it (yet?), because I *never* use orphaned "put"s, 
I always use my own library handler(s) that gather output, show it in 
the msg box or log it in a file or show it in a field or discard it  
depending on the environment and on my own settings.


Upgrading my handlers to include some or all of the executioncontexts 
info is definitely on my to-do list 
   ... and tidying up these handlers to the point I could release them 
somewhere is too, but somewhat lower in priority).

Re: Finding orphaned "put"

[Peter Haworth]

Hi William,
Academic at this point but I couldn't resist improving this a bit!  I can
make it exclude single line comments starting with "--" (or whatever you
use for comment indicators) but can't think of a way to deal with block
comments, or comments part way through a line.  Here's the regexp for that:

(?im)^(?!--)\s*put\s((?!(into|after|before|\\)).)*$

I'm not sure why it didn't work for you in LC (excluding "after" and
"before") - seemed to work OK for me.

I used to automatically switch off when regular expressions were mentioned
because they look dauntingly cryptic.  But I found that with a fairly short
amount of time learning the syntax they're pretty easy to understand and
amazingly powerful.  Great for validating user input.

It works for me here. It sounds like the "put" is putting empty into the 
message box, which is too bad. It would have been an easy solution.

(?im)^\s*put\s((?!(into|after|before|\\)).)*$  is wonderful but gives me
450 lines to look through (admittedly less than 6500). Found lots of
commented code and lines like:

 *put* tHolder2 & *return* after tAllCargoLines_Processed


which have the word "after" so I don't get it.


The target button would be wonderful but since the message box comes up,
but nothing is in it when it does, maybe that makes it not work.

Re: Finding orphaned "put"

Hi Scott,
This will list lines that have a continuation char - "/" - at the end with
into/after/before on the next line.  Pretty remote circumstance but I tend
to do that if I have a particularly long source with lots of "&" and "&&"
to make it more readable.

Still think the regexp approach is the easiest - no scripts, just uses
standard script editor find function to look  in the current object, stack,
stack file, etc.

But that requires him to know how to execute the code that puts to the

Re: Finding orphaned "put"

[Peter Haworth]

William,
Just tried out the regexp I gave you and found it needs a couple of changes
to deal with case insensitivity, looking for "before" and also dealing with
the LC script continuation char "\" which could occur at the end of a line
before the into/after/before.

The new version of the regexp is:

(?im)^\s*put\s((?!(into|after|before|\\)).)*$

It works very nicely since doing it this way lists the object and line
number of the offending script line so it's easy to go directly to them and
delete them. I discoverved a couple of orphaned puts lurking in some old
code I had!  I think I will put this check into my release procedures.

Re: Finding orphaned "put"

[Scott Rossi]

Here's a script I use that answers the offending line(s) of script with
line numbers:

on mouseUp
  put script of  into S
  put empty into temp
  put 1 into N
  repeat for each line L in S
if "put" is in L and ("into" is not in L and "after" is not in L and
"before" is not in L) then
  put "Line" && N & cr & L & cr & cr after temp
end if
add 1 to N
  end repeat
  if temp is empty then
answer "All clear!"
  else answer temp
end mouseUp

If you are using LiveCode 6, run your scripts until the message box pops 
up. Then click the little target-looking icon at the left of the 
top-right group of icons, and it should take you to the line of script.

Re: Finding orphaned "put"

[Alex Tweedly]

6.0 contains a new feature (which I've not yet used :-) - in the message 
box there is a button (top right, looks kind of like a target symbol)
when you click it, the editor shows you the source script line that 
caused the last output.


That might help you in this case

Yep. I occasionally need to put 11000 lines into a variable.
Anyway,

put theScript into tVariable
filter tVariable with "put*"
filter tVariable without "* into *"
filter tVariable without "* before *"
filter tVariable without "* after *"
if the number of lines in tVariable is 1 then
  find tVariable
end if

should get you close.

And also "before". Also a bunch of other things that you can see in the 
dictionary by finding "put". Also require white space before and after so you 
don't get stuff like "input" or "output" for us audio nerds.

Re: Finding orphaned "put"

[Peter Haworth]

Hi WIlliam,
You should be able to find your orphaned puts using a regular expression in
the Find box

In the script editor window, type command-F then click the More button and
the the expand arrow for iptions, then check the regular expression box.
 In the Find What box type:

^\s+put\s.((?!(into|after)).)*$

then click find all after setting the option menu to stack or whatever
scope you need for the find.  That should find any lines that start with
any number of spaces, then "put" and do not have the words "into" or
"after" in the same line.  This works in my regular expression test program
but haven't tried it in LC

Hope that helps

Pete
lcSQL Software 
PS I've been caught by this in the past and now have a "putmsg" handler
that I call when I want to put something in the message box.  Same for
answer dialogs I use for debugging purposes. Much easier to find those and
get rid of them.

I've dealt with this by having a "ck" command.  I can variously set it
answer the argument, put the argument, or append to a field in a watch
window (or a combination of these)

If nothing else, I can find these with breakpoints . . .

Re: Finding orphaned "put"

[Robert Sneidar]

You should be able to do this in lc. 

Put the script of  into 
-- repeat loop to put the line number of each line before eeach line in the 
variable
Filter  with "*put*"
Filter  without "*into*"

Put a loop around it for every object in you project and build a list of 
objects and line numbers. 

Sorry I'm doing this on an iPhone and its tedious but it all works in my mind. 
Besides, I've had 3 beers so it should work!

Re: Finding orphaned "put"

Grep is way to difficult to use for this. And it isn't just "into" it's
also "after".  I'm back to wishing there was a way to turn off the message
box feature of being called without explicitly calling it. It is truly evil.

William,

Write a repeat loop that loops through all stacks, cards and their controls and 
checks all scripts for a line that contains put but not into.

Re: Finding orphaned "put"

[william humphrey]

I have many lines of script which say "put something into variable"

I have one line of script which just says "put variable" - what that does
is open the message box. I'd like to find that line of script and delete
it.

Could I really put 6000 lines of script in a variable? But you have given
me an idea. Maybe I can solve it in BBedit.
