Re: Type in upper case
Le 30 sept. 04, 00:23, [EMAIL PROTECTED] a crit : Hello, I want the user type in upper case. I've made a script with the keyup handler to convert lower letter in upper letter, but the conversion is visible. How make the conversion in the keydown handler ? Bonjour Ludovic, It's a pity but toUpper rev function is unaware of the existence of latin vowels :-) You are french. So you need to uppercase them: on keyDown pKey if the selectedChunk = empty then pass keyDown put InternationalToUpper(pKey) into the selectedChunk -- end keyDown -- function InternationalToUpper pKey local tASCIIVal - put charToNum(pKey) into tASCIIVal if tASCIIVal = 97 and tASCIIVal = 122 then return numToChar(tASCIIVal - 32) else return RightASCIIValue(tASCIIVal) -- end if end InternationalToUpper -- function RightASCIIValue pASCIIVal -- trap latin accented vowels put item itemOffset(pASCIIVal,141,142,143,136,137,144,207) \ of 130,131,233,203,229,230,206 into tNewValue if tNewValue = empty then return numToChar(pASCIIVal) return numToChar(tNewValue) end RightASCIIValue Note that Klaus Major formulation works fine unless a selection was done in the field.

Re: Linux Audio
Hope this helps, David... /H Resolving audio problems with MC/RR under Linux RedHat 9 TROUBLESHOOTING AUDIO PROBLEMS Q: I can't hear any sound! A: You need to have xanim installed, otherwise, no sound is going to be played. Open a terminal, and type xanim. If you receive a message like command not found, you don't have xanim in your system. Please download a version of xanim appropiate for your distro. Q: I hear music, but no sound effects! or Q: I hear sound effects, but no music! A: I was afraid you reach this point, but, well... CircusTux requires you have a soundcard capable of playing different audio files simultaneously (like mine, a SoundBlaster Live! card). If you don't have such card, is still possible to hear music AND audio effects if you use a sound server, such as aRts or Enlightenment Sound Daemon (esd). If you want to use aRts on KDE, do the following: 1. Open Control Center, Sound Multimedia, Sound System. 2. Select start aRts soundserver on KDE startup. 3. Make sure that enable full duplex operation in the Sound I/O tab is unchecked, because it messes the operation of the program in some sound cards. 4. In a Konsole, go to the directory where CircusTux is located, and type artsdsp ./circus (Of course, you can also create a KDE Menu or Desktop Entry to ease access) If you use GNOME or Enlightenment with a sound card or driver not capable of handling simultaneous sounds, there are a few issues... The esd daemon likes to startup with the following parameters: esd -terminate -nobeeps -as 2 -spawnfd [some number] Unfortunately, CircusTux does not like the -terminate and -as 2 parameters. So, if you have a GNOME desktop, you would need to do the following: 1. Deactivate Enable sound server startup in Sound Preferences, close and restart the session 2. Open a terminal, type esd (you can still use the -nobeeps and -spawnfd [some number] parameters if you like) 3. In a gnome terminal, go to the CircusTux directory, and type esddsp ./ circus (Of course, you can also create a GNOME Menu or Desktop Entry to ease access, or recompile your GNOME environment without the offending parameters ;P) If you have an Enlightenment desktop: 1. Right click on the desktop, Audio Setting, deselect Enable Sounds 2. Open a terminal, type esd (you can still use the -nobeeps and -spawnfd [some number] parameters if you like) 3. In a Enlightenment terminal, go to the CircusTux directory, and type esddsp ./circus (Of course, you can also create a Menu Entry to ease access, or recompile your Enlightenment environment without the offending parameters ;P) Q: I did all the above, but the sound is all choppy/incomplete/delayed/ randomly appearing! A: CircusTux requires a Pentium III equivalent or better to work properly. However, it is possible to run the program in older computers, with partial sound support, or even without sounds :( To run CircusTux without sound support, click the Sound button, and deselect Ambient music and Sound Effects. You could also try only one sound option (music OR effects) to see if that fits in your configuration. If you use aRTs Sound Server and KDE, you can try to augment the audio response time by going to Control Center, Sounds Multimedia, Sound System, Sound I/O. There you can experiment with some value in the Audio Buffer Size bar. VIDEO PROBLEMS Q: The images in CircusTux look awful! A: The program works better in 24 bpp. If you have your display in 16bpp is fine, too. However, less than that would cause the images to display very poorly. You can check which mode is working CircusTux by clicking on its Info button. If the section Screen Depth shows something less than 16bpp, you should upgrade the video mode to more colors... or replace your old video card :) OTHER PROBLEMS Q: Found a bug in CircusTux!

Standard in (stdin) behavior. (At your convenience)
Okay, I am experiencing a oddity I cannot explaine. As I have reported on several occasions I have created a external that lanuches a process simular to CreateProcess in Windows. This external provides stdin and stdout handles to be used by the parent and child for interprocess communication. Currently I have a child stand-alone containing a button and a field. The button contains a simple mouseUp script 'read from stdin until ':''. The parent (after child creation) calls the external to write a message to the child stdin Hello:. This should be simple but the child constantly returns with nothing when using the 'read from' syntax. Why would this be? I have attempting to pipe in text files via command line (program file.txt) this works. Do RR and RR compiled programs use a os method that does not support descriptors create using 'pipe'?

Re: Accessing parts of arrays

So if we could have an elementOffsets() function, this would be the best solution for the above request, I think. Jan Schenkel. I have been talking to people at the mothership about this. First off my software that I created with Rev is starting to sell. This gives me the money to pay for the externals suggested below by Mark. The reason that I bring it up here on the list in the open is that the external will speed up my XML based database and if it where later to be added to the engine then it would speed up my software that I'm selling now. This sounds like it might be a great tool for array power if you are willing to use a parser for the manipulations. Before I proceed does this suggestion sound good for this array thread? (see below) Pull-parsing an XML structure at high speed could give us all kinds of array manipulations if you where to use numbered tag sets like 1[data]/1, 2[more data here]/2, 3[even more data]/3etc... and 1,1 1,2 and 1,3,1 for dimensional arrays.

However, as I mentioned before, we would be perfectly willing to develop an external with the functionality you require which can then be integrated into the engine at the next opportunity. This both mitigates the development cost to us, and provides you a more flexible solution should you require specialization and/or optimization of the functions in the future. If you are interested in proceeding in this manner then I will happily put together a more concrete proposal to you, including technical details and time costings, and leave you to negotiate with Kevin the costs and finer contractual details. To give you an idea of the substance of such a proposal I would suggest implementing an external with the following functions: matchOffsets(needle, haystack, [ from ], [ to ]) - return a list of offsets of the needle in char from to to of haystack one per line. matchParallelOffsets(needles, needle_sep, haystack, [ from ], [ to ]) - return a list of offsets of each chunk of needles in char from to to of haystack The chunks of needles would be delimited by the character needle_sep. Each line of this list would be of the form offset of needle_1, offset of needle_2, ...,, offset of needle_n (i.e. the functionality of your parser would be given by doing a single call of matchParallelOffsets with two chunks in the needles) matchSetCacheSize size - The Boyer-Moore algorithm has a set-up cost for each pattern which incurs a memory overhead. This call would set the maximum number of patterns that should be cached at any one time. To give an idea about how these might be implemented in the engine, then Jeanne's suggestion for syntax is a good one (assuming it doesn't cause any conflicts - I make no promises as to whether this syntax is feasible): the offsets of needle in haystack the offsets of the lines/words/items of needles in haystack Anyway, I shall leave you to think on this way forward, and I promise to be more efficient in getting back to you next time.

This is exactly what I was hoping to get. I can use it to isolate large portions of huge documents for the purpose of creating something I might need very badly in the next few months. also this single function could be highly useful to others as you pointed out.

Simple array question
I have an array x[1] x[2] x[3] ... etc. I combine x by return and put into a field. But the elements of the array are not ordered 1, 2,3 etc. I don't want to sort the list in the field by the values but by the numerical order of the keys. I do that now by brute force: repeat with i = 1 to m put x[i] into line i of tResults end repeat put tResults into field 2 But is there any quick way to get the list sorted by the keys? I have 11,000 elements in the array. Jim ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Transfer all props except name and script
I know there are a number of property tools which you kind wizards have put into the public domain... but I'm looking for a simple tool, that no doubt has already been written... just the script would be fine.. I find myself frequently wishing I would like to change all, usually buttons, to the same style, but, obviously, two of the properties of these buttons must remain unique to the button: name and script. i.e. you tweak one button and then you want to make it be the template for all the rest on the screen, but leave the name and script of all the others untouched. Before I go re-inventing this one, I am wondering if someone hasn't already done this.

Re: Transfer all props except name and script
Do you also wish to include the position and the size of the button? Just thought I'd point that out, since they seem to be lacking from your list. Obviously the layer can't be made the same for all of them, so I'll assume you don't want that. Thus, you might try something like (untested, just take this FWIW), for each of the target buttons: set the customProperties of badButton to the customProperties of goodButton put the properties of goodButton into x delete variable x[name] delete variable x[rectangle]-- assuming you do not wish to copy the size and position set the properties of badButton to x On Sep 30, 2004, at 6:49 PM, Sannyasin Sivakatirswami wrote: I know there are a number of property tools which you kind wizards have put into the public domain... but I'm looking for a simple tool, that no doubt has already been written... just the script would be fine..
