Re: Checking Server Results If Return is HTML
Thanks, Brian. I should have seen that. You're right, of course. The problem is that the serverReturn field was being read by RR as a variable with a value. Correctly so. I've quoted those strings now (like I keep teaching people to do...duh!) and all is well. Gotta stop coding so late at night. On Dec 19, 2003, at 8:38 PM, Brian Yennie wrote: It looks like you have a variable that has the same name as your field. When you do this: put User successfully created into field serverReturn Revolution is actually putting the message into field 1, which is what serverReturn evaluates to. In the second case, Revolution is trying to find a field with a name that matches a long html string- bad news. Put quotes around your field name (or change it's name) and you should be good to go. HTH -Brian If the outcome is successful, the server in this case returns a value of 1. This works in my code. But if an error is created, I never get the second display. Instead, the debugger tells me Chunk: No Such Object and the hint has the first two HTML tags of the return value. ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
debug an External with XCode on OS X
1) Copy Revolution.app and supporting files and folders into the build folder of your XCode project. The layout will look like: /external.pbproj /build/External.bundle /build/Revolution.app /build/components /build/plugins /build/etc /etc The reason for this layout so Revolution.app can locate External.bundle *and* the Xcode working directory, build/, happens to be a folder where Revolution can find it's license file. 2) Open your external.pbproj file in XCode. 3) Make *absolutely sure* that your target's debugging symbols are ON and optimizations are OFF. This tripped me up badly because the settings look different depending if your target is a legacy bundle or a xcode carbon bundle. Also XCode has a bazillion places to set compiler linker settings. To be sure, do Project menu | Edit Active Target and make the settings there. If you do something else like Get Info on your Project styles- you are setting something else- who knows what :-/ 4) Add Revolution.app into your project. Project menu | New Custom Executable. Select Revolution.app (make sure to select the one you copied in your build/ folder) 5) clean build your external (to get the debug build) 6) Set some breakpoints in external.c or other source files 7) Choose Debug menu | Debug executable. Revolution will launch and then in Revolution you open a Rev stack that loads the external.bundle. The external.bundle used will be the one the build directory. The Xcode debugger already has that bundle loaded and the XCode debugger should be hitting your breakpoints now! Hopefully having a real debugger should make writing xternals *much* more enjoyable. :-) Alex Rice [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Mindlube Software | http://mindlube.com what a waste of thumbs that are opposable to make machines that are disposable -Ani DiFranco ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: Apple script problems
I don't have FileMaker so I can't test this, but what do you get if you say: get every record as string in the AppleScript? AppleScript has decided to give you a list and that may end up easiest to process, but try coercing it to a string and see what happens. Cheers, Sarah [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.troz.net/Rev/ Sarah, You are a champ, proving the superiority of string theory! It returns a tab/return delimited string. Unfortunately, for a big file, I get an execution error. But I got that without the as string. I don't think this is a Run Rev capacity problem. I am able to import the file into a varaibe (or a field). I suspect that AppleScript has limits on string lengths. Back to the tried-and-true--importing a text file. ___ 1. You seem to be having difficulty with applescript 101 text handling. 2. You are making FileMaker operate inefficiently and do multiple operations when it isn't necessary. 3.

High-Order ASCII Alphabet Other Keyboard Edits
Hi All, I'm in the process of writing a keyboard filter for SDB, and I would be interested in anyone's feedback regarding any missing desirable edit ranges in general and high-order ASCII alphabetic characters in particular. The present Data Dictionary design supports the following basic edit types (character ranges are expressed as ASCII [numToChar] values): -~ = 32-126 - = 32-256 09- = 48-57, + 45 + decimal separator if decimal precision is greater than 10^0 0-9 = 48-57, + decimal separator if decimal precision is greater than 10^0 0-Z = 48-90 0-z = 48-147, less 91-96 0-Ù = 48-134 , less 91-127--Should be + 203-205 + 217 + 229-239 +241-244? 0-ü = 48-159 , less 91-96, less 123-127--Should be + 203-205 + 216-217 + 229-239 + 241-244?

Please note that the Data Dictionary includes the capability to create a list of characters within the specified edit range that are invalid for a particular field. Example: to limit input to odd digits, one would set the edit range to 0-9 and designate 02468 as invalid keys. TIA and happy holidays to all.

Setting IP-properties
on Fri, 12 Dec 2003 Dar Scott wrote in response to this question of Gunnar Wailler: I want to create an application that can set the IP-adress, netmask and default gateway of my own computer. Can this be done with Revolution? I have not done this, but this looks like a useful capability, Gunnar. I would welcome (on this list or direct) hearing how this works out. [snip] So, I think the answer is yes. Now, how is another question. (BTW, the IP address, netmask and default gateway are all TCP/IP properties of an adaptor and a computer might have more than one adaptor.) This question is somehow related to security issues and a quick search in google confirm this (search for fake ip address). The more common methods found in these web pages requires the use of proxys to connect to the internet. Runrev could use proxies to connect, but I never have worked before in this area.

XP doesn't read a custom property from an encrypted stack
Hello folks, Its a long time since my last post. (Forgive me Father?) The reason is that I have discovered that writing software is not the hardest bit...it is installation and support. OK, OK, so that is common knowledge, but it has come as a bit of a shock to me, I can tell you. I have customer who can't get my software to run under XP, and I have just managed to replicate the problem. The odd thing is that I wouldn't have thought there were any OS issues in what I am doing. The situation is this: I have an encrypted 'users' stack that contains the name of authorised users stored in a custom property 'cusers'. This is stored in a folder within the same folder as the standalone. When my standalone launches, a preopenstack handler opens the users stack (invisible) and puts cusers into gusers, a global. In the openstack handler, gusers is put into an authorised users pop-up. If the authorised users popup is empty, the buttons on the main screen are disabled. If there are users present, the buttons are enabled. This works under OS9, Win 95 and 2000 (which I have easy access to), but not XP (which I don't). Under XP the standalone launches, but no user names are put into the pop up, so the navigation buttons remain disabled. Debugging this will mean borrowing machines and installing Rev on them, so I thought it was worth a post in case the gurus know what is going on. I can't post the scripts from here, but could later if the answer isn't obvious.

I use a trick to find characters that are higher than ascii 127. I use
a repeat loop to place all 255 numToChars(i) separated by a space into
an off screen field. I then put the HTMLText of that field into a
variable. I now have escape-sequences for these chars that I can use in
an array created with the split function.

Re: Apple script problems
Yes, I am bound to use FMP. All the volunteers at the campaign headquarters use FMP to do data entry and construct walking lists, etc. I am still surprised that AppleScript doesn't do the normal thing and just return a comma/return (or tab/return) delimited text file instead of the curly brackets. Thank God there are not curly brackets in the database. They would have survived fine.

It returns an ascii escape-sequence that I can compare to ( = whatever). The part I don't like for your usage, maybe, is it would have to execute on key messages or at least just before usage and that could start to look ugly for the user if each key stroke where compared to a font-map.

Re: Shell or Launch or HELP!!!!
On OS X, you want to use the open command with shell.

DESCRIPTION The open command opens a file (or a directory or URL), just as if you had double-clicked the file's icon. If no application name is specified, the default application as determined via LaunchServices is used to open the specified files. If the file is in the form of a URL, the file will be opened as a URL. Ok so here is my progress I put in an if there is a file and get File Found and still no good.

Post , UrlDecode and Ampersand
Context is a faceless CGI that starts like this: on startup if $REQUEST_METHOD is POST then ## repeat read to get around bug in reading stnIn repeat until length(tIncoming) = $CONTENT_LENGTH read from stdin until empty put it after tIncoming end repeat put urlDecode (tIncoming) into tDataIn split tDataIn by and = Where the client http post urlEncoded string is issued from inside a Rev stack and not a browser. This above works great until someone types an ampersand in the middle of field of text that is posted. This causes that field's text that is meant for a single element in the array to break out into another element. And worse, the subsequent element isn't named (there is no = in the text that is split off) Now, there are obvious work arounds, such as, on the server/cgi side: taking the +%26+ which is the encoded ampersand, and then replacing this with some place holder like a pipe | (+%7C+) first, then split the data into the array and deal with the pipe later by replacing it back to an ampersand. Or, on the client side; setting up the stack that issues the posted string to strip the ampersand out or change it to the word and. But something feels off about either of those options. So, before going down that road, since the ampersand character is the official concat character for urlEncoded form strings, I am wondering if any of you wonderful souls out there know if there is already an established internet IT spec for the proper way to handle this... or does everyone just do WHEW (WHatEver Works) ??
