So I tried looking for quoted text and seeing if the comment was after quoted text - this also presents problems. We can have: #comment text --comment text more text -- still more text more text --comment text more text text -- text text more text text still more --comment (did I leave any out) text # comment and variants of that.

That's not quite what I see - I get just put something i.e. without either quote; that makes sense because once the line is tokenized, the quotes are unnecessary.

In general, I think you need to use the offset function for each line and check for either -- or # and count whether there is an even number of double-quotes before it (setting for example itemdelim to quote and get the item count). If count is odd, you are within literal and should continue. If count is even, then you hit a beginning of comment. I think this approach will work with all cases.

Re: Arrays in Rev
Hi, I fooled around with array's and pull-parsers for an easier solution. Dimensional Arrays: This thing is not a real array within an array, it just acts like one. It provides a way to store the data as MTML, like simple XML. This version is created with functions that can be copied to your own scripts. Paste this into the message window: go URL http://www.gizmotron.org/revolution/dimensionalList.rev; -- see stack scripts for functions -- function addArray dataString, spotArray, theData -- Note: addArray() will replace data that already exists in the dataString -- Example for adding multi-dimensional data: -- put addArray(myMTMLDataString, [1][4][5], John Doe) into field showMTML -- put addArray(myMTMLDataString, 1,4,5, John Doe) into field showMTML -- see stack scripts for functions -- function getArray dataString, spotArray -- Example for getting multi-dimensional data: -- put getArray(myMTMLDataString, [1][4][5]) into field showData -- put getArray(myMTMLDataString, 1,4,5) into field showData An old eperiment from the past: put: go url http://www.gizmotron.org/frogbreath.rev; into the message window with a active internet connection. Regarding a comment about my pull-parser used in this I have been using it to run my MTML browser and speed. In that browser I was using set the htmlText of field offScreenField1 to thisVar and then using put the htmlText of field offScreenField1 to thatVar after that. This turned out to be the choke point in my parser. I needed to clean up fragments of html that didn't have completed syntax because only a smaller portion of the full markup was being used in the thisVar variable above. Rev has the ability to correct bad html. An example of that would be in grabbing the front part of an anchor tag while not including the end tag. the htmlText function adds it in so that the anchor works properly. Once I used lock screen and unlock screen my cleanup script went from 356 ticks to 0 ticks when parsing a once considered very large document. So it now looks like I have my solution to fast enough pull-parsing.

Re: Arrays in Rev
Dear Revolutionaries Thanks for all the suggestions - I appreciate the help. I have to say that I agree with Troy - it seems like rr could really use some kind of elegant solution to this problem. Sure - it's possible to work around it, but having to code these kind of basic housekeeping functions introduces more room for the unexpected to occur and ultimately makes rr less robust if you have to rely on a bunch of extra code to do something that could be innate in the language. IMHO, the single greatest feature in the Python language is the nestable keyed libraries that can be freely mixed with lists. How beautiful, simple, elegant and still readable ten years later it is, when you can use something like: for client in myBusiness[clients][european]: if client[city] == Munich: dataBase[My Munich Clients].append(client) I would vote for something like this in rr :) Best Gordon --- Troy Rollins [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Dec 10, 2004, at 2:44 PM, Alex Tweedly wrote: It's real, but it is NOT *within* another array.

Popup menu and radio buttons
In my project, I have created a popup menu that has 22 choices of combinations of IQ and achievement tests. Each selection has one IQ and one achievement test. Each test such as an IQ may have four to five scores, while each achievement test may have as many as 10 scores. Each combination of tests in the popup window has a different set of scores. In other words, they are not always equal. My lookup table would require a correlation for scores from both tests plus reliability coefficients for each IQ and achievement score. In addition to the above requirements for each popup selection, I want to have radio buttons appear representing on my card so the user can select a radio button and enter the score the radio it represents for the IQ test. Also, the areas of the achievement tests (with a place to enter each achievement or subachievement score) would be displayed depending on the IQ and achievement combo selected. It is possible to set up a popup menu to do the above using an array? I do have another question, how do you make the popup menu reset itself after a selection is made and then you quit the program and then restarted it?

Re: Arrays in Rev
As far as records (C's struct types), there are at least two ways to do this: Mathod 1. Arrays Since array keys can be strings, you can convert something like this: VAR myRec : RECORD x, y : INTEGER END; BEGIN x := 5; y := 7 END; into something like this: put 5 into myRec[x] put 7 into myRec[y] (Transcript's arrays are *really* cool...) Method 2. Objects You can also use custom properties on objects in place of fields on records. So create a button called myRec, then: set the x of button myRec to 5 set the y of button myRec to 7 On Dec 10, 2004, at 1:15 AM, Jan Schenkel wrote: --- Gordon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear Revolutionaries Can an element of a rev array be another array?

In addition to his suggestion to use the split and combine commands when needed, I'd like to point at the other two options : crafting array keys to simulate the behaviour, and using XML trees as a way to hierarchically store information into nodes. 1. Array keys Revolution arrays are actually associative arrays, which means that the keys can be any string, and you can use separators as much as you like. Example : -- put 01/01/2003 into \ tCustomerData[1,history,23,date] put tCustomerData[78,contacts,3,phone] into \ tPhoneNumber -- 2. XML trees If you build your tree correctly, you can get the content of your data using calls like : -- put data/customers[1]/history[23]/date into \ tNode revPutIntoXMLNode tXMLTree,tNode,01/01/2003 put data/customers[78]/contacts[3]/phone into \ tNode put revXMLNodeContents(tXMLTree,tNode) into \ tPhoneNumber -- For more information about XML and how Rev supports it, make sure to download the tutorial by Sarah Reichelt, available from the Runtime Revolution website at : http://support.runrev.com/resources/xml.php Hope this helped, Jan Schenkel. = As we grow older, we grow both wiser and more foolish at the same time.
