"live" event capture and MIDI
Many years ago I tried, using SuperCard, to create a realtime recording device, i.e. set a metronomic pulse and trap for mouseclicks in relation to that pulse. If I remember correctly the problem lay in the runtime's response to the mouseclicks, which would throw off the timing of the pulse. Perhaps the Rev engine is fast enough to deal with both. Then again, maybe I was completely wrong in how I attempted to use the SC runtime and the same problems would apply, more or less, to Revolution. I imagine that dedicated MIDI applications are optimized to run the two threads (do I use that word correctly here?) simultaneously. Perhaps this is an area where a set of external functions written to the OS directly would be of great benefit. In other words, the input of live MIDI data would require the receiving MIDI app to be able to recognize the parts of the MIDI data being streamed- including the timing pulse (clock). ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: OT: Virtual PC vs "Real" PC
Thanks for everyone's input. As always, many ways to describe an elephant.. Our Apple repair-lady was here today. She said "Forget VPC, you will not only waste time but destabilize your whole system if you plan to do anything else on that machine." But, I would be running VPC on OSX G4 dual-processor desktop model, (in another room) to upgraded to a G5 soon... so I think the speed will be acceptable. But productivity can be an issue... fiddling with VPC, vs having a little DEL sitting on the corner of my own desk, plugged into the network would mean instant review. If you are trying to wrap something up in 2 hours... it could mean a lot. I'll see for now if I can live with VPC and also see if budgets will allow for a PC box...

Hi,
I finally found what I was looking for in the basic core for all my
pull-parser needs. With the help of those at Run Rev this was found:
Sorry Mark, I'm going to have to ask for another lesson :-)
How does this proposal help with a pull-parser ?
It replaces the need to run a loop to find all instances of a tag. If
you control the schema type of the XML and write it so that pulling the
information makes the pull-parser design optimal then you have a simple
fast solution. If you need to validate then use a standard XML parser.
So adding to the example:
get matchGlobal("foobarbaz", "") would give
it[1] = 1
it[2] = 10
it[3] = 20
get matchGlobal("foobarbaz", "") would give
it[1] = 7
it[2] = 17
it[3] = 27
so I would use:
put get matchGlobal(myString", "") into startTagArray
put get matchGlobal(myString", "") into endTagArray
put char ( startTagArray[1] +3) to (endTagArray[1] - 1) of mystring
into A1-1
put char ( startTagArray[2] +3) to (endTagArray[2] - 1) of mystring
into A2-1
put char ( startTagArray[3] +3) to (endTagArray[3] - 1) of mystring
into A3-1
My XML example uses 3 instances of "" tag-sets for each instance of
"".
So if I were to encapsulate these three previous sets into multiple
sets with another tag-set I could create an array of "" sets.
So this:
"foo1bar1baz1"
"foo2bar2baz2"
"foo3bar3baz3"
"foo4bar4baz4"
put get matchGlobal(myString", "") into startTagArray
put get matchGlobal(myString", "") into endTagArray
So I have the start points and end points for each respective
occurrence of a tag-sets, "".
All I have to do is use them to populate an array. (the old tried and
true way that is)
Now this matchGlobal( ) function is starting to get faster than using
an array because you have to loop through the array and this thing can
drop that loop step. You know how offset() has the ability to start the
next search after a certain point. Well you could use this
matchGlobal() function to find the resultant contents of an "" set
that matched your search and then build a pulled array from the
numerical numbers that were just below in the startTagArray[?] and just
above in the endTagArray[?] for each instance found of "" that fits.
example:
itS[1] = 1
itS[2] = 10
itS[3] = 20
itE[1] = 7
itE[2] = 17
itE[3] = 27
If the one I like is at char 14 so I build the data from char (itS[2]
+ 3) to (itE[2] - 1)
All I need is a quick way to loop once through the itS[] and itE[]
arrays to get the ones that I want. I should be able to do this in one
pass through the arrays. I might add that I'm now not storing my data
in an "" data array. MyString is now the permanent container of
data and subject to high speed changes using the replace function. If
I can control the XML schema then I can make this pull technique negate
the use of databases and just use the data in the XML state. I can't
wait to test the results on MTML were currently pages are stored in
each numerical key of an array receptively {1], [2], [3]. etc...
This looks (simply) like a scheme to do fast searching for multiple
occurrences of a string; could give a significant speed gain over
repeated calls to offset, if only because the B-M setup time can be
done once rather than each call (or each call with caching), as well
as the speed gain from a single call versus multiple calls.
That's what I think also.
But this seems less useful than your earlier
split by string1 to string2
proposal, which would (more obviously) allow incremental parsing.
This "split by string1 to string2" idea put it into an array. I think
that matchGlobal() might be faster if the loop through that "split by"
array is eliminated.
I could use a form of repeat that exits after my target is greater than
the last result of looping through the matchGlobal( ) arrays. Anyway I
would search for the fastest repeat technique to get the start and end
points I was interested in.
It all means less arrays and less trips through arrays using repeat
loops.
Not that that means it wouldn't be a useful high-speed parsing
technique - I just don't see how it could be used to create a
pull-parser.-- Alex.

Thanks again, everyone,

Marian, I got Palm Desktop and tried the code in Script Editor and got
an
access error in trying to access the memo with "item loopIndex of
memos".
When I changed the code to this:
tell application "Palm Desktop"
set numberOfMemos to count of memos
set memoMemos to {}
set loopIndex to 1
-- find all Memo Pad Memos (memos with no attachments) and put
them in
memoMemos
repeat with x from 1 to numberOfMemos
set theMemo to memo x
if (count of attachments of theMemo) is 0 then
set end of memoMemos to theMemo
end if
set loopIndex to loopIndex + 1
end repeat
return loopIndex
end tell
It worked in Script Editor. I then tried it by pasting it into a Rev
field
and did "do fld 1 as applescript;put the result" and it came back with
the
same number.
Try it on your end...

Re: OT: Virtual PC vs "Real" PC
While there are few if any real differences between a real PC and Virtual PC from the perspective of how an app looks and feels, particularly since MS now owns VPC, there are three good reasons to buy an inexpensive Windows box for this testing: 1. VPC runs like a dog. Responsiveness is absolutely impossible to test in that environment. 2. There is some crossover functionality between VPC Windows and Mac OS X that involve sharing of some resources. Those could become gotchas in an app that makes use of things like printers, network connections, etc. 3.

Re: OT: Virtual PC vs "Real" PC
Virtual PC is probably fine but a cheap windows box cost less than Virtual
PC (without monitor - you can use an existing monitor with a switch). The
other advantage is the windoz machine can run stuff off the network without
tying up your real working machine that you are coding on. But why wouldn't
you shoot for the Windoz XP market as that is what they all have. And Windoz
XP is a very close copy of the Mac GUI. No one uses Windoz 2000 anymore as
it crashes when you look at it. I have two of those cheap boxes. One I just
use to play movies (I'd rather use a Mac for that but $450 for a Windoz box
or $2000 for a Mac -- where is the choice?).

Marian, I got Palm Desktop and tried the code in Script Editor and got an
access error in trying to access the memo with "item loopIndex of memos".
When I changed the code to this:
tell application "Palm Desktop"
set numberOfMemos to count of memos
set memoMemos to {}
set loopIndex to 1
-- find all Memo Pad Memos (memos with no attachments) and put them in
memoMemos
repeat with x from 1 to numberOfMemos
set theMemo to memo x
if (count of attachments of theMemo) is 0 then
set end of memoMemos to theMemo
end if
set loopIndex to loopIndex + 1
end repeat
return loopIndex
end tell
It worked in Script Editor. I then tried it by pasting it into a Rev field
and did "do fld 1 as applescript;put the result" and it came back with the
same number.
Try it on your end...

Marian, I think it is the "run" structure that is causing the problem. I
don't have Palm Desktop either, but if you try this:
tell application "Palm Desktop"
set numberOfMemos to count of memos
set memoMemos to {}
set loopIndex to 1
-- find all Memo Pad Memos (memos with no attachments) and put them
in memoMemos
repeat numberOfMemos times
set theMemo to item loopIndex of memos
if (count of attachments of theMemo) is 0 then
set end of memoMemos to theMemo
end if
set loopIndex to loopIndex + 1
end repeat
return loopIndex
end tell
It should probably work. Note that I moved the "return loopIndex" inside the
"tell" and removed the "run/end run" statements.

Woaw, it becomes hard
I don't have the "Palm Desktop" app, then I can't test.
Anyway, let's try something (just an idea)
put the following line
get loopIndex
into the Applescript just before the return.
I guess the get command put the variable (loopIndex) into the result
I hope it will work
Otherwise, you must have to learn Applescript ;-)

Re: Send variables back to Rev from Applescript
Thanks, Thierry. I'm looking into this for a friend who is considering
Rev and who does some Applescript. Unfortunately, I know no
Applescript.
Other listers: That fixed the problem with Thierry's sample but I am
still having problem with more complex scripts. My friend sent me the
following Applescript:
on run
tell application "Palm Desktop"
set numberOfMemos to count of memos
set memoMemos to {}
set loopIndex to 1
-- find all Memo Pad Memos (memos with no attachments) and put them
in memoMemos
repeat numberOfMemos times
set theMemo to item loopIndex of memos
if (count of attachments of theMemo) is 0 then
set end of memoMemos to theMemo
end if
set loopIndex to loopIndex + 1
end repeat
end tell
return loopIndex
end run
What he would like is to be able to capture the value of loopIndex and
then manipulate it using Rev. And I am having trouble figuring out how
to get loopIndex passed from Applescript to Rev.
I tried:
on mouseup
do fld 1 as applescript
put the result into fld 2
end mouseup
but all that gets me is "handler run" in field 2.
I also tried put loopIndex into fld 2 but I didn't expect that to work
and, of course, it didn't.
TIA

Re: Simulating password entry
Devin, Your final script is WONDERFUL! I only made a slight modification to make it more X-platform, On windows, ascii 165 looks kinda like a chicken footprint. Also, the default font apparently doesn't contain the bullet character on Win. I changed the font in the script, but of course that could be moved to preOpenStack so it only happens once. Anyways, here is what I changed/added. switch (the platform) case "MacOS" put numtochar(165) after char eChar of me break case "Win32" set the textFont of me to "Arial Black" set the textSize of me to "12" put numtochar(149) after char eChar of me break end switch Kind regards, Roger Eller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Thanks to all who sent suggestions.
