[ANN] Script Browser, XML Text & OZ-RUG

2003-06-27 Thread Monte Goulding


Howdy

I've just uploaded upgrades to my Script Browser plugin and libXMLtext.
Download from http://www.sweattechnologies.com/rev/

Script Browser (sorry rev only)
 - will now show all declared locals, globals and constants even if you
didn't javadoc comment them. If you do normal inline rev comments after each
declaration this will be included in the browser window.
 - If libXMLtext is in use then you can modify the text styles. This is a
good example of using libXMLtext for style sheet type functionality.

libXMLtext
 - I've finally done an example style setter. Have a play (it's really
cool!).
 - fixed a couple of issues related to Rev 2.0 custom property handling

OZ-RUG (Australian Revolution Users Group)

To join up go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/oz-rug/

Current members (me). We will even accept New Zealanders ;-)

Actually anyone in the general area is welcome. Maybe we can encourage the
RunRev team to do a tour?

Cheers

Monte

You CAN do exactly that by using a "data stack" via custom properties! 
See this excellent post by Richard 
http://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/metacard/tips/stk001.htm

excerpts from that post:

"""
The main benefit of using a stack file as opposed to a text file is the 
hierarchical structure afforded with objects 
and their custom properties.

Remember that every Rev object can have custom properties, and even 
multiple sets of custom properties.  Accessing 
these is very fast — much faster than fields, 
and only a tiny bit slower than globals.  You can use array notation
 if you like, and they can store binary data as 
well as text.

Since a new stack file contains one card in one mainstack, you 
instantly get this rich structure for 
organizing your data (for just 363 bytes of 
overhead):
...

Because the storage space and access speed overhead are so low with 
custom properties, you can use stack files for 
data sets as large as memory allows and expect 
pretty snappy performance.  In this sense, it rivals Panorama and   
  other RAM-based databases, with all the ease and 
flexibility of an xTalk.

"""

and to emphasize Monte's message earlier

"""
-- create and populate your array
put whatever into tArray["something"]
-- use the following to save the array
set the customProperties["myArray"] of stack "savedArrays" to tArray
save stack "savedArrays"
-- use the following to load the array
put the customProperties["myArray"] of stack "savedArrays" into tArray

Re: Eliminate doubles in a long list field

Dear Ludovic,

On Saturday, June 28, 2003, at 03:57  PM, Ludovic Thébault wrote:

I've a long list field with double entry

I want to eliminate double.

I use this script :

 repeat for each line l in myLongList
   if l is not in myLongListWithoutDouble then
 put l&cr after myLongListWithoutDouble
   end if
 end repeat
But it's long. There is an another solution ? Thanks.

How about this:

sort lines of field cMyLongListField
repeat with x = (the number of lines in field cMyLongListField) down to 
2
	if (line x of field cMyLongListField is line (x-1) of field 
cMyLongListField)
	then delete line x of field cMyLongListField
end repeat

I haven't tried, but I suspect it might be faster - I don't really 
know... You will, of course, end up with a SORTED list of unique lines 
- and I don't know whether that will pose a problem for you as well or 
not!

I hope this helps!

Kind Regards,

Hello Ludovic

here is a script I use to do the job between two flds
Very fast !!!


On mouseUp
  put "" into fld "resultat"
  put fld "listeUn" into tmpUn
  put fld "listeDeux" into tmpDeux
  put commonLines(tmpUn,tmpDeux) into fld "resultat"
end mouseUp
function commonLines pList1, pList2
   repeat for each line tLine in pList1
 put 1 into tArray[tLine]
   end repeat
   repeat for each line tLine in pList2
 if tArray[tLine] = 1 then
   put 2 into tArray[tLine]
   put tLine & cr after tRetVal
 end if
   end repeat
   delete char -1 of tRetVal
   return tRetVal
end commonLines


You can easily do t he same on ONE list with something as :

  put myLongList into tmpUn
  put myLongList into tmpDeux
  put commonLines(tmpUn,tmpDeux) into myLongList
Avec un petit bonjour de la Belgique vers la France !!
et heureux de te dépanner !

Maybe I don't understant what you want but check out customPropertySets.

I want to create and populate an array. The arrays can contain numbers or string data that might include LF and paragraph breaks. Anyway I want to save the array and at later times open them as arrays. Although this isn't about operators working on data in arrays it is about changing the capabilities of arrays.

If you mean the array is still there after you save and later open the stack, then I think Monte's suggestion of customPropertySet sounds right.

Let's say that I have an XML document that contains 300 sales transactions. I want to put the XML text of each transaction into 300 separate items of an array. I then would like to save this array as an external file. It wouldn't be saved as text it would be saved as an array file. I could then use answer to open it with my application that could then access it.

If you want to save to a file, then look at split and combine. Since you have numbers, you need to make sure the numberFormat will include as many digits you need. If you have multiline data, you want to be careful of your split/combine delimiters and not use LF. Perhaps some carefully selected control characters will work.

If your arrays also include some binary data and you want to save the data to a file, then split/combine will probably not work, not in general. Let us know if this is the case.

This is wish list stuff I'm talking about. In Director I have an Xtra plug-in that enables a shockwave app to save lists (arrays) to my hard drive. Later I can access the saved array and load it into a variable. This Xtra plug-in was written in C++ and adds value to the shockwave engine. If they are going to add operators to arrays maybe some day they can add save as array as a feature, meanwhile I can use Valentina and save as a database file of XML text transactions.
