Re-2: Typing foreign characters in RunRev (unicode !)

[boehmisch]

On Microsoft PCs you have to set up
system control (Systemsteuerung)
languages and regions (Regional- und Spracheigenschaften)
installing the languages you like
I am using hebrew und greek
therefore I had first to install the language tools for languages writing right 
to left (you need the OS CD-ROM).
In Runrev i can perfectly type hebrew from right to left within one word but it 
breaks the direction in the sentence.
I use winword for typing hebrew text and copy it into the runrev textfield.
Runrev is using perfect unicode support in HTMLtext and RTFtext of the 
textfield.Ø

But runrev breakes foreign languages in table mode of the field
because they use the # sign as delimiter for the table columns.
All foreign languages are coded using the # sign in HTML
==> foreign languages are immediately broken when used in a table text field.

No experience in linux or mac.

Xavier,

Thanks, but I was looking for something that would emulate the way that
it's done in every piece of software except Rev -- hold down option key
and type "u", see floating dots, type "u" and get ümlaut.

I'm curious what our German, French and Portuguese Revers do.. Can you
type accents and umlauts into Rev fields? What happens if you use a US
keyboard instead of a German/French/Portuguese keyboard, can you still
type them?

And a final question, does anyone know where the floating dots (or
floating accent or floating tilda) characters are stored, and how to
show them in a Rev field?

Thanks,
-- Frank

re: typing foreign characters

[Lars Brehmer]

Hi List (especially foreign character typers!)
I've been following this thread because I had similar problems and 
questions last year.  Here is the weirdest thing I found out back then, 
and to my knowledge on one has posted this interesting litlte fact yet, 
at least I never saw it:

In Rev (and it seems in standalones as well) you can't get an umlaut 
even with the option-u extra stroke when using the US English keyboard 
on a Mac.  You can however, using the German keyboard, either hit the [ 
 ;  and  '  keys which give you ü, ö and ä respectively, but you can 
also get the umlauts with the option-u-u,o,a method when using the 
German keyboard (!?!)  I always found this quite strange, but it gets 
even stranger!  For those who need these diacriticals and have to 
switch to the German keyboard but are driven crazy by the different 
layout (once you get used to the y and z keys there are still all the 
punctuation marks and shift-number differences) you just have to use 
the British English keyboard, which has the same layout as the US, 
except the option-u strokes WILL produce the umlauts in both Rev and 
standalones!  Also the õ (option-n-o) which I also need for Estonian.  
I never understood why only the US keyboard is the only one that 
doesn't do this, but using the British keyboard is certainly an easy 
solution!

(note to Klaus - I finally DID actually help someone else :-D)
Cheers,
Lars

Bridging between Mac and PC

[Kresten Bjerg]

Creating cross-platform revolution applications, from mac (OS 9) to 
windows PC creates a need for bridging . CDs of course may be a vehicle. 
A firewire harddisk may be another (allthough uncertainties about its 
formatting (FAT 32?)) but it seems logical that a direct  fire-wire 
connection between a mac and a PC would be a very usefull gate. I guess 
this problem is old hat to many professional revolution-users. Any cheap 
and easy ways to solve it?

P.S.  There are perhaps already postings on this topic in the 
accumulated lists, - but I find no internal search-mechanism on the 
list-site. Is such a mechanism very complicated to implement?

I know this solution may seem out of proportion at

OK I may have missed the point entirely, but I would simply use a reverse
network cable (probably you dont need to reverse these days). Alternatively use
a router. You can use filesharing to access the HD on each machine.

Script editor behaviour

[Martin Blackman]

Hi there, this is my first post so please go easy on me.. I'm not a 
programmer by profession but have been working on a rev project in my spare 
time for the last 18 months.

A few comments/ queries about the script editor..I'd like to hear if anyone 
has similar experiences.
I'm using rev 2.5 on windows 98.

Has anyone noticed that when you hit apply in single-handler view, the 
script scrolls to the top of the handler.  Wouldn't it be nice if it stayed 
still like in the normal view ?

I have a large stack script which I need to view in single handler view, 
otherwise editing slows right down and copy/paste behaves erratically. For 
example I hit ctrl-x in non-single handler view (normal view?) which cuts a 
line, I go to paste it elsewhere and I only get a few 'box' characters and I 
lose the line altogether.  Has anyone had this occur?

Occasionally, I need to switch from single-handler to normal view because 
that is the only way I can get at my list of global variables at the top.  
Once or twice this has actually thrown my stack script into disarray, eg 
several lines have disappeared.  Anyone had this one ?

regards
Martin Blackman

Re: Bridging between Mac and PC

[Thomas McGrath III]

You have ethernet cables: (networking software is used)
one to one = crossover cable (they reverse three and five???I think)
one to hub to one = straight through cable
You have firewire:
one to one (networking software is still needed to do this)
You have server client:
each computer is connected to internet.
You have email:
each computer still needs connected to the internet.
You have FTP:
each computer still needs connected to the internet.
You have Disk:
CD
ZIP, USB, Flash, etc. (each computer will need a reader device)
You have USB:
Removable USB drive (each computer will need a USB port)
You have bluetooth:
if built in (bluetooth networking software is used)
You have 802.11B G:
Each computer has wireless card (networking software is used)
IN the same building I prefer 802.11G Wireless since all of my 
computers are wireless connected to the internet and can use wireless 
networking. In different places I prefer CD and or removable USB drives 
OR email. Others prefer client/server (which can be built in REV).

The only time I use firewire is when I want one computer to be the 
HardDrive/slave and the other to copy Large amounts of software between 
the two.

Subscribe gmane to this list?

[Ben Rubinstein]

I've recently come across Gmane, an interesting service that attempts to
make mailing lists more usefully accessible.

It gives a variety of nice interfaces to the list, including two web
variants (both of them to my taste substantially better than Mailman
provides), news reader, and RSS; and search functionality that constitutes a
definite improvement over using google with site.

For an example, see
http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.culture.cars.volkswagen.diesel

It also potentially allows posting through the web interface, which I
personally would find helpful.

More information here:
http://gmane.org/about.php
http://gmane.org/faq.php
http://gmane.org/features.php

I'd propose that this list would be subscribed with posting allowed for list
members only, and with email addresses encrypted.

Downsides to doing this:
- the list is fractionally more public than it is now.  Postings to this
list are already archived, and discoverable via Google; but now there will
be two sites on which such postings may be found; and the list itself will
now be in another index, in addition to the one in which it can be found
from the runrev site.  So I don't think that is very significant.
- er?

Upsides:
- no change to anything existing
- no additional effort from RunRev
- several valuable new interfaces
- (tiny) additional exposure for Revolution (there are a preponderance
of developer related lists on the service, and you can search across them)

If this list wasn't already archived on a publicly accessible web site, then
I'd think twice.  But as it is, I can't see any real downside to doing this.
But of course, I wouldn't want to do it if the list, or RunRev, would prefer
not.

Rotating a QT movie in Rev

[Stephen King]

Hi,
Does anyone know if its possible to rotate a QT movie using Rev. We recently 
had to take some video using a camera sideways orientation - so I either 
have to rotate the video 90 degrees or turn the monitor over! I am sure I 
have read somewhere that QT Pro can do this, but I don't really really have 
a use for pro and the player normally does me fine.

I posted two bug reports on this yesterday - 2603 and 2604.  2604

The beta of the EnhancedQT external allows you to do this thanks to 
some sample code provided by Brian Yennie.  If you download the beta 
from  
there are docs included with it.  Under "Movie Manipulation" you will 
find qtRotateMovie.  The command returns the newWidth,newHeight in the 
result() function which you need to use to set the new rect for the 
player object after calling the command.  If I remember correctly I 
still need to make a couple of tweaks to it before I release 1.0 so if 
you run into any problems let me know.

Several people over the years have proposed alternate options for the mail
list.  For myself, I've always believed that a combination of several
interface options would be best: email, web forum, etc.  If the service acts
as you say without any need to change the current means of interaction then
it does seem like a good option.  It is Runtime's list though, so it would
be best to check with them.

Re: Bridging between Mac and PC

[Jeffrey Reynolds]

With OS9 you will need some networking software on the Mac to make it 
talk to the PC via filesharing using a x-over cable or patch cables 
through a hub (on OSX its built in.) I had the system set up on my old 
system and it worked well, but was a little 'non mac like' in its set 
up, but i guess that was because it was trying to make the mac look 
like and talk like a PC! There is a firewire cable/software solution 
out there, saw it a few years back.

My quick and dirty solution most of the time is my little usb pen 
drive. you can get them very cheap these days! fast and easy and you 
can usually fit most of the stuff of a cd onto a 512mb drive.

Hey ya there!

I dont know what random number of you are annoyed by the fact that the
random function in RunRev doesn't include zero. Was zero such a bad
invention?. I wonder. But after quite a few random based applications and
discoveries, im quite inclined that is less productive programmatically and
logically... 

But anyway, if you want to vote a random number of points for the random
sake or emotional release of 

using random(it+1)-1 instead of random(it)

Drop a visit at my suggestive bugzilla

I'd rather see bugs fixed or enhancements that extend basic can-do,

The link mentions Mac and Windows for the beta, but the download zip seems

Hi,
Does anyone know if its possible to rotate a QT movie using Rev. We 
recently had to take some video using a camera sideways orientation - so 
I either have to rotate the video 90 degrees or turn the monitor over! I 
am sure I have read somewhere that QT Pro can do this, but I don't 
really really have a use for pro and the player normally does me fine.
The beta of the EnhancedQT external allows you to do this thanks to some 
sample code provided by Brian Yennie.  If you download the beta from 
 there 
are docs included with it.  Under "Movie Manipulation" you will find 
qtRotateMovie.  The command returns the newWidth,newHeight in the 
result() function which you need to use to set the new rect for the 
player object after calling the command.  If I remember correctly I still 
need to make a couple of tweaks to it before I release 1.0 so if you run 
into any problems let me know.

I just downloaded the beta ZIP archive and it has:

The file you want to use is EnhancedQT.dll.  That will work for

I think you are on the right track, but the stack name (or stack file

on doFileNew
ask file "Name new database file:" with "MyDatabase.abd"

set the title of stack tStackName to (char 1 to -5 of tStackName)
set the minWidth of stack tStackName to 800

set the fileName of stack tStackName to tFileName

Programmatically Hiding Windows Files?

[Dan Shafer]

Is there a way I can't seem to find to set the Hidden attribute of a 
Windows file to true?

On OS X, a file whose name begins with a period is hidden, so my idea 
works fine there. But on Windows, such files are treated like any 
other.

Probably too obvious, so forgive  me if I'm off base, but:
1. Is the global tFileName defined in the second stack where this 
handler lives?

2. You want tFileName not in quotations, otherwise you're looking for a 
stack CALLED tFileName, which is clearly not your intent.

Hi Dan
thanks for taking a look 22.51 here in scotland and I'm a bit tired so hope

This is defined in the first stack Armbase Database Designer where there is 
a button "new" that clones a stack that the user can name. In the first 
stack there is a button and a field. the button has  the above script. 
(removing the quotes from the tfielname make no difference, still an error) 
The target stack does not have the script.


2. You want tFileName not in quotations, otherwise you're looking for a 
stack CALLED tFileName, which is clearly not your intent.

Linked text question

[Mark Swindell]

How can I control linked text so that if I pass my mouse over 
textgroupA in field myField1, corresponding text in myField2 and 
myField3 would also hilight?  In other words, I want specific text 
linked to "brother text" in other fields on the same card.

Example:  Field myField1 contains the word "dark."  Field myField2 
contains the word "somber."  Field myField3 contains the word "gloomy." 
 If I pass the mouse over any of these three items, I want it and the 
other two to also hilite.  (Hey, it's wet and rainy out.)

Can one label linked text chunks and treat them as objects?

Re: Launch pdf on cd

[Stephen Van Esch]

Folks:

Sorry to be returning to the well yet again but I've
really hit a wall with this. I've followed Chipp's
script as follows:

-->

on linkClicked pLink
  if pLink contains "pdf manual" then
launch "manual.pdf"
  end if
end linkClicked

on viewPDF_MacOSX pPDFpath
   if "AppleScript" is not among the lines of the
alternateLanguages 
then
 answer "AppleScript must be installed."
 exit to top
   end if
   put revMacFromUnixPath(pPDFpath) into pPDFpath

   --> THIS ASSUMES YOU'VE JUST DOWNLOADED A .PDF FILE
   --> AND THE CREATOR AND FILETYPE AREN'T PROPERLY
SET
   put "tell application " "e& "Finder" & quote &
cr into tScript
   put "set the creator type of file " "e&
pPDFpath "e& \
   " to " "e& "CARO" "e& cr after tScript
   put "set the file type of file " "e& pPDFpath
"e& \
   " to " "e& "PDF " "e& cr after tScript
   put "end tell" after tScript
   do tScript as Applescript
   put the result into sError

   put "tell application " "e& "Finder" & quote &
cr into tScript
   put "open file " "e& pPDFpath "e & cr after
tScript
   put "end tell" after tScript
   do tScript as Applescript
   put the result into sError

end viewPDF_MacOSX

-->

With no success. Clicking the specified link does
nothing. I've tried to dissect the script without
success. No success with various (admittedly amateur)
script acrobatics.

I also think I may have been remiss by not making
clear all the requirements for this project so here
goes:

The pdf must be served up from a CD. Absolute paths
will not work.
The pdf can be in the same directory as the standalone
but I'd rather place it in a subfolder (called
resources).
The standalone must work on Windows, OS X, and Mac
Classic.

To recap the request: The user clicks a link. By
clicking the link, Acrobat (on Windows or Mac Classic)
or Preview (OS X) launches and displays a pdf file
from the CD.

Sorry again. I'm having a real hard time getting my
head around how to execute this seemingly simple task.

Thanks for your patience.

I didn't go through your code line by line but perhaps you're not replacing
the "/" characters in the file path with colons.  If you haven't already,
try adding the following line to your script before you build the
AppleScript statement:

  replace "/" with ":" in pPDFpath

This will not work because you can't write to a CD. I think you will

Re: Launch pdf on cd

[Chipp Walters]

Stephen,
Couple of things. First, if the PDF is going to already be on a CD, then
you don't need to set it's fileType or Creator Code. Sarah's right, you
can't change a file on a CD.
Next if you need to find the path to the PDF and it's in a folder next
to the application, then you can always use the address function to get
the path to the app. Then you just need to add the
"/PdfFolder/myPdf.pdf" to the path. From memory (not tested)
function getPathToApp
  put the address into tAddress
  set the itemDel to ":"
  delete first item of tAddress
  set itemDel to "/"
  delete last item of tAddress
  if the platform is "MacOS" then delete item -2 to -1 of tAddress
  return tAddress
end function
Now all you need to do is launch the pdf filepath.
hope this helps.

This is perfect for custom properties or a container for these 'linked'

hilite any of the other words in that container in field 2, etc. as a

You will have to have a predefined list of 'linked' words for each

race conditions with file/folder creation?

[Richard Gaskin]

Over the years I've had a small handful of WebMerge customers who tell 
me that WebMerge will sometimes report that it can't write a certain file.

In each case the error happens after a large number of files (>20,000) 
have been successfully written in the same run.

It's worth noting that the number of files successfully completed before 
the error is reported differs each time it's attempted, it differs more 
broadly from system to system, and we have many more customers who 
generate a much larger number of files than that (>50,000) without ever 
having an issue.

One customer suggested that we may have a sort of race condition here, 
in which WebMerge is attempting to write files and/or folders faster 
than the OS can keep up.

That seem unlikely given that Rev isn't threaded; when writing a file 
everything else is pretty much suspended until the OS reports back to 
the engine whether the operation was successful or not.

But since this problem is specific to the Windows family of operating 
systems, I can't confidently rule out that the OS may be reporting 
successful folder creation when in fact there was an error.  Or perhaps 
an issue in the engine in which certain types of file or folder creation 
errors do not get reported back to the calling script.

Any of you familiar with limits on the number of files that can be 
written to a given directory, or other related factors like FAT issues?

Have any of you ever had a folder not created but don't get an error 
message in the result?

And perhaps most useful:  Is there a way to make a query to find out 
more about *why* the file wasn't written other than the result's "can't 
write file"?

Here is some least useful information.  I wrote a test app for a 
database I was developing.  My stress test included writing out just 
over 100K files as fast as Rev could do it.  Worked like a charm.  I 
did notice on both Macs and Win systems that the OS lagged behind the 
process big time.  No errors though.
