Re: chunk order restriction

2002-04-21 Thread David Vaughan

...first word 1...?

I assume you mean first word or word 1.

Importantly, you also need to reduce confusion to Rev by parenthesising 
the second part of the expression, thus:

   get last item of (first word of abc\def ghij\kl)

then it works (or did for me).

cheers

 I guess this means I can't put items in words like I can in Hypercard?
 Is there a good reason for this restriction?

Mac OS X distribution shown as Classic

2002-04-21 Thread Kurt Kaufman

Please forgive me if this is a FAQ:  I've noticed that RR Mac OS X 
builds are defined as Classic applications in their Get Info windows 
(with a fixed memory setting!); is this the case for all Carbon apps 
or perhaps an odd configuration peculiar to my own system?
Thanks, Kurt

The returned URL

2002-04-21 Thread Matt Denton

Hello all,

I've got a URL that points to a CGI script, returning a different URL 
and data.  The URL looks something like:

http://somesite.com/search/city?p=tokyo;

but returns quite a different URL:

http://somesite.com/result;

I'm trying to work out if there is a way to find the returned URL and 
not just the data.  I've tried half a dozen ways, no luck.

Can this be done?  This is all new to me.

Cheers and thanks!

Re: Check Menu Items?

2002-04-21 Thread yves COPPE


The !c checkmarks the menuitem, but I need to have this
done dynamically depending on which item the user selects.
The checkmark doesn't go on and off accordingly.  Have I
missed something?  Where in the documentation did you find
this little nugget?

Thanks,

Rick Harrison



try :

   put text of me into tMenu
   get the menuHistory of me
   if char 1 of line it of tMenu = ! then
 repeat 2
   delete char 1 of line it of tMenu
 end repeat
   else
 put !c before line it of tMenu
   end if
   set text of me to tMenu

I've done it so and it works.

Re: Check Menu Items?

Rick,

 done dynamically depending on which item the user selects.

 this little nugget?


You need to do this manually by removing the !c when the menu item is
selected, and then putting it back in when it is selected again.

Here's an example:

on menuPick
  put the menuHistory of me into tSelection
  put me into tMenuItems
  if char 1 to 2 of line tSelection of tMenuItems = !c then
delete char 1 to 2 of line tSelection of tMenuItems
  else
put !c before line tSelection of tMenuItems
  end if
  put tMenuItems into me
end menuPick

This toggles the checkmark for a menu item in a popup menu button.

BTW: You can find this in the Revolution Documentation - click on the
RoadMap button, then click Development Guide, then Menus, then menus
and the menu bar (under the About section). Scroll down about half way to
Special Effects In Menus.

Easy! ;-)

Hope this helps,

Re: BUG in CONVERT command - or I can't tell the time

2002-04-21 Thread Michael D Mays

That is what the documentation says. 0 seconds is 12 midnight, Jan 1, 1970
GMT.

Or at least close to it. There are discrepancies with convert for zero(s)
seconds and -1 seconds.

  -2 secs - 23:59:59
  -1 secs - 12:00:00 mid GMT
  -0 secs - 12:00:00 mid GMT
zero secs - 0 (the result = invalid date)
   0 secs - 0 (the result = invalid date)
  +0 secs - 12:00:00 mid GMT
   1 secs - 12:00:01

 get 0 -- and so on
 convert it to long time
 put itthe result

 Maybe this only goes wrong under OS X.  I'm using OS X 10.1.4.  Maybe this
 only goes wrong depending on your date and time setting,  I'm set to time
 zone United Kingdom and my system indicates BST.
 
 Revolution is ONE hour out with it's results using CONVERT,  I think they
 have based something on GMT.

I get 6:00 PM

(I was sure 0 used to get an error for me, too, I'm not sure what's 
up with that.)

Look at at the original time header in the mail an you will see my 
time zone is -600.

So for me on OS X 10.1.3, Blue  White, Revolution 1.1.1, convert 
peeks at the current time zone.

Ken,

Thanks for the code snippet.

It didn't quite work for me the way I wanted it to,
but it was enough of a start that I was able to
work out the rest of the solution for myself.  I was
running into a problem where it was giving me just
the previous item selected and not the current one
chosen.

Thanks again,

Rick Harrison
