convert [*] to the n with tab

[rev]

Hi All.

I have a field with text items separated with charachters bounded by multiples
of [*].

eg
[0][0][9]item1[0][0][0][6]item2[0]item3

I would like the separator items [*] or [*][*] or [*][*][*] etc to be replaced
with a single tab.
I thought of this script

on mouseUp
  put "preparsed" into p -- insert your field name here
  put empty into v
  repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines of fld p
  --put empty into v
  get line x of fld p
replace [*] with \
end repeat
end mouseUp

However I keep getting the error

compiling at 9:18:04 AM
TypeExpression: bad factor
Object  convert [*]n to tab delimiter
Linereplace [*] with \
Hint[

Any ideas. Is it the case that I cant use [ as a charachter? It was inserted OK.

All the best
Bob

Makeover for the revolution-education wiki

[Marielle Lange]

Dear all,

At least, I found the time to do what I was craving for months:  
create a personalized look-and-feel for the revolution-education wiki:


http://revolution.lexicall.org/wiki/

The goal was to make it less crowded and easier to read. Let me know  
what you think. Please also let me know if the change created any  
problem on the platform and browser you use.


As there are differences between male and female preferences, know  
that you can easily switch back to the old design or any of the  
default designs coming with tikiwiki. For this, login with your  
username, select Preferences in the top bar (on the left of mytiki),  
and choose the style sheet that you prefer (the previous one was  
moreneat.css).


To choose the color theme, I used this color schemer tool on the web:
http://wellstyled.com/tools/colorscheme2/index-en.html
It builds a palette of harmonious colours based on a first colour  
given. It also let you check how your color scheme looks to persons  
with color blindness. The javascript is in the document's source...  
worth considering creating a similar application in revolution.

Re: convert [*] to the n with tab

I suspect you're going to need the replaceText function. It uses regex, 
which I'm afraid I can't help with. But someone here can and will, I'm

Re: convert [*] to the n with tab

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Bob,

1. You have to enclose a text string with quotes
2. Square brackets have a special meaning in RegEx: you have to  
specify them preceded by a anti-slash to get them handled literally.


So, you could try:

put replaceText(field "preparsed","\[0\]",comma) into...

The above lines are doing nothing for you because they are incorrect  
syntax for Revolution. The expression "i = 0" evaluates to either  
true or valse but does nothing with the result. IF what you intend to  
do here is to initialize local variables, then you need the slightly  
more verbose:


Sorry, Dan, but the above *is* correct syntax, and does do what you'd 
expect.


From the docs:


Declares one or more local variables and assigns initial values to them.

local variablesList

local currentStatus -- creates one local variable
local thisThing,thatThing,theOtherThing -- creates three variables
local A=1,B=2,C=3 -- creates variables with initial values


and


Description
Use the local command to define a local variable for a handler, or to 
define a script local variable that is shared between all the handlers 
in a script.


Parameters:
The variablesList consists of one or more name=value pairs, separated 
by commas:

* The name is any string.
* The value is any literal string.
The value is optional; you can specify just the variable name. In this 
case, the specified local variables contain empty when created.



[end of docs quotation]

Dan said:

Having said that, it is strictly optional in Transcript to use the  
word "local" and I'd venture to say that the vast majority of us  
never use it. Variables are local unless they're explicitly defined  
to be global. In that case, you eliminate the three "local" lines in  
the above and just assign the initialization values to the variables  
with the same effect.


I use it often - mostly because my typing is bad and I often mistype 
variable names - therefore I always use explicitVariables to help detect 
my typos - and therefore need to use "local", but also I use it to 
initialize locals as above. (And you can use the initialization form to 
assign values to script-local variables too).

Re: convert [*] to the n with tab

[Marielle Lange]

Dear Bob,

This is a job for regular expressions:

put "[0][0][9]item1[0][0][0][6]item2[0]item3" into tstr
put replacetext(tstr, "(\[[0-9]\])+", tab)
get you: item1item2item3

[0-9] Means any number between 0-9
\[ and \[ Because [ and ] are characters used to define options  
(as the above shows), you need to escape it

(something)+  One or more of the same thing.

If you can have any number of digits in between square brackets, then  
use

[0-9]+

Best,

Re: Convert ColorNames to RGB

[david bovill]

There is no way that i know of. You can script this on the fly if you  
want by seeting the color of some invisible or offscreen object and  
then putting the color of the object back into a variable.


The other way around is harder - you have to script / use a lookup  
table.

One again you have saved the day. I ended up with

put replaceText(field "preparsed","\[3\]","[0]")into field "withtabs"
put replaceText(field "withtabs","\[1\]","[0]")into field "withtabs"
put replaceText(field "withtabs","\[2\]","[0]")into field "withtabs"

Now works perfect

This replaces all the non-[0] with [0] and then changes multiples of 
[0] to one

single [0]. Then changes them to tab.

I'll be able to meet the deadlines without help...

Skills required : Xtalk (Rev cgi), Javascrript, PHP, SQL,
CSS, DHTML, mySQL.
Browsers : IE (Mac OS9 & X, Win), FF (Mac & Win),
Safari
Estimated time : 2 to 4 weeks.

Re: CamelCase

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi David,

I use the following function.
It does not differentiate lower camelCase from upper ones (CamelCase).
As I use it to parse scripts, the text to parse is not too long and  
it's enough for my "internal" needs.

But I imagine there are faster solutions :-)
It's certainly not the quickest...

function ExtractCamelCase pText
  local tToken,tCamelCaseList
  -
  repeat for each token tToken in pText
if the number of words of tToken > 1 then next repeat
if charToNum(char 1 of tToken) < 65 or charToNum(char 1 of  
tToken) > 122 then next repeat

repeat with i = 2 to the (number of chars of tToken - 1)
  if charToNum(char i of tToken) > 64 and charToNum(char i of  
tToken) < 91 and tToken is not among the lines of tCamelCaseList then

put tToken & cr after tCamelCaseList
next repeat
  end if
end repeat
  end repeat
  delete last char of tCamelCaseList
  sort tCamelCaseList

Depends on your definition of CamelCase !!

There are lots of variations possible
  - must have leading Uppercase  (aka UpperCamelCase)
  - may not have that (lowerCamelCase, camelCase)
  - can it finish with an uppercase (e.g. EndsWithA) ?
  - lower case start, upper finish ?   (e.g. lowerA)

The simple version of a regular expression which allows all of these  is

 ([A-Z]*[a-z]+[A-Z]+[a-zA-Z]*)

i.e.
0 or more Upper,
followed by at least one lower,
followed by at least one upper,
possibly followed by any number of either 


However, if this is for variable names, then you might also want to 
allow for digits and "_" in some places - this would make the regex more 
complex. (I don't think I could dependably tell you what it would be ...)

OT--Apples Pages outputs CSS

[Thomas McCarthy]

Completely off-topic but...
I've been investigating cascading style sheets and noticed that on the surface, 
a lot of css sites resembled Pages templates. I exported a Pages file to html 
and looked at it. Sure enough it used css.

It might be a good way to start using css. I haven't checked KeyNote, yet.
FWIW

Using message box

[Bill]

I have been using the message box all along like this:

Put variable

Or put "whatever"

And the result comes out in the message box. The problem with this is how do
you search for that event in a whole lot of code. You can't search for "put"

So I want to say "put whatever into messagebox" only that doesn't work. If
you ask the message box what it is called then you get stack "message box"
so what I need is either:

How do you search for a put that has no "into"

Or what is the line in the message box called so that in the future I can
name it explicitly?

OSX Style Toolbat Widget

[Scott Kane]

Hi all,

Just wondering if anybody knows of
a stack or procedure for creating
OSX toolbars.  You can do this
in RealBaisic (Yuck!) as they
have sublassed the control from
the OS.

Note it needs to be clear (not
opaque) and as easy as possible
for me as a Rev newbie.  Ten
years in Delphi has spoilt me
in terms of available widgets
and scripts that look like
MessageDlg("Hello World", mtInformation, [mbYes, mbNo),0);

That's not  a complain against transcript,
it just seems to take bigger learning curve as
we have to "unlearn" how we do things on some ways.

Re: OSX Style Toolbat Widget

[Mark Smith]

If you mean a row of tools (icons) at the top of a window, you can just 
put a bunch of buttons there. If you mean some sort of floating 
palette, then you need to make a sub stack of your main stack, set the 
decorations as desired, and populate it with a row of buttons...


Is this what you mean?


Mark

ps. Having to type
MessageDlg("Hello World", mtInformation, [mbYes, mbNo),0);'
rather than
answer "Hello World" with "Yes" or "no"
doesn't sound like being spoilt :)

Re: Using message box

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Bill,

put whatever into message

From the docs:
The message box is a container as well as a window.
You can show and hide the message box, put information into it, and  
get information from it.
The two-word synonyms message window and msg window can be used only  
to show and hide the message box.
To put a value into the message box or read the value in the message  
box, use the forms message, msg, message box, and msg box.


As for searching for a put that has no "into", you have to script it.
If it can help, send me a mail off-list: I have a little stack that  
makes the job (you specify something like: find all lines of code  
where x is but y is not).
You might be interested by Chipp's altFindPut too: http://

Yup. Except the row of buttons look nothing
like a real OSX toolbar.  If they are set
not ot highlight then they look odd.  If
set to hi-light then they look like Aqua
buttons.  I know might sound trivial to some,
but I need the proper OSX look and feel on
the toolbar.

Thanks for your reply, Mark!

I may have misunderstood.

Do you mean a toolbar like the one at the top of the window in mail.app?
It's just a row of buttons, and you have a lot of control over the 
behaviour and look of buttons...

What are the problems with the hilite behaviour?

Thanks. I looked in the docs too but sometimes the docs don't work (or maybe
they get caught up in something that takes so long it seems like they're not
working).

Anyway -- from now on I use "put whatever into message" and then I can
search on "message" to find it. I am using explicit variables also now and
trying to use the formating of all variable names etc correctly as an old
Hypercard coder shifting to RunRev where we can have thousands of lines of
code in one container you really have to do things correctly or you are
truly lost when you look at it later.

external Windows program running?

In general:
I am using revolution to launch a nonrevolution program. I need to know when
the user shuts down the nonrev program so that I can shut down rev. Is there
a method of doing this?

Details:
The nonrev program does not properly hide the Windows taskbar. I need rev to
be running to keep the taskbar hidden, but I need to automatically shut rev
down when the user closes the nonrev program.

The nonrev program is useless at sending and receiving messages but it can
launch another program. I tried launching my rev windows taskbar hider and
having the rev program close but as soon as rev closes, rev "tidies" up and
the taskbar reappears.

Open to suggestions and thankful for them.

commas in custom properties

[Lars Brehmer]

Hi all!

I'm sure I've seen this question on the list befrore, but darned if I  
can find it again!


I use text stored in custom properties for word searching purposes,  
among other things, and I need to know how to "ignore" commas.  For  
example a custom property that contains;


to read, recite

Using the broader search (mark cds where it is in the storedText of  
me) it wil return for "to" , "read" and "recite."


in a more precise word search (mark cds where it is among the words  
of the storedText of me) it will only return for "to" or "recite" ,  
but obviously not for "read" because of the comma.  I'm pretty sure  
this can be done somehow, most likely very easily, but I can't seem  
to discover it on my own.


A little help (once again!)

Cheers,

Lars

this one really has me scratching my head big time...

osx standalones work great from 251 or 26.

any ideas?


This sounds like a file path problem to me, since OS X paths and OS 9 
paths are different, depending on how you are calculating them. If you 
are using full file paths then it should work fine on either build, but 
if you are calculating the file path based on the location of the 
standalone then you need to do it differently in the two operating systems.


Can you give us an idea of what your file paths looks like?

the user shuts down the nonrev program so that I can shut down rev. Is
there
a method of doing this?

Details:
The nonrev program does not properly hide the Windows taskbar. I need
rev to
be running to keep the taskbar hidden, but I need to automatically shut
rev
down when the user closes the nonrev program.

The nonrev program is useless at sending and receiving messages but it
can
launch another program. I tried launching my rev windows taskbar hider
and
having the rev program close but as soon as rev closes, rev "tidies" up
and
the taskbar reappears.

Open to suggestions and thankful for them.

Doug

Re: commas in custom properties

[Mark Wieder]

Lars-

If there's no space after the comma ("to read,recite") then

"mark cds where it is among the items of the storedText of me"

should do it. If there are spaces ("to read, recite") then the match
will probably fail and you'll have to resort to something more
verbose:

  put the storedText of me into tItems
  repeat with x = 1 to the number of items in tItems
if tTarget is word 1 to -1 of item x of tItems then
  -- etc
end if
  end repeat

Hi Lars,

try tokens instead of words.

RE: external Windows program running?

Doug,

if you launch your pc application via shell,
then when the user closes that application,
rev just has to continue working... 
meanwhile while your app runs, rev is "blocked..."

I find the behavior hideous but at least it
does have ONE use...

The other way is to check every now and then if the
application quit via a shell("pstools! not exact syntax") from pstools or
the like. you can find pstools at

then 
on Checkmyappisrunning
  if "myapp.exe" is not in getappsrunning() then
-- do mything
quit
  end if
  send "checkmyappisrunning" to me in 2 seconds

Re: Convert ColorNames to RGB

[Joel Guillod]

The other way around is harder - you have to script / use a lookup
table.


Not so hard to build a map between ColorNames and RGB: create a field  
and name it "fColors", then put the following script in the card  
script and type build in the message box: now the field display for  
each color a line with: its colorname, a color rectangle, the color  
value for html, the RGB value.


For lazy one, download a ready made stack "ColorNames Displayed" is  
available under Revolution online, user "imed". Enjoy!

RE: external Windows program running?

[Lynch, Jonathan]

You can also just check every now and then to see if the application is
among the openprocesses.

And Xavier, you can launch an app via shell command without it locking
up - at least, Chipp's method so far has not locked up the Rev app for
me. I would be happy to send it to you, if you wish.

First off - sorry for being a pain for this, but
my test team won't even look at the app' unless 
it works and looks "just right".   

Yes - mail.app is exactly the look and is the OS's
toolbar in use.  The user can add or hide buttons
and if there are to many added then a chevron appears
allowing you to see the rest as a drop down list.
I don't care about the chevron aspect - but the look
of the mail.app app' toolbar is exactly what I'm after.  It
is part of the native OSX GUI - but I have no knowledge
on how to subclass it to use in Rev'.

Re: libdatabase : connection problem

Just goes to show you. I learn something every day about this language.

It would never have occurred to me to use an equal sign that way in

The above lines are doing nothing for you because they are  
incorrect syntax for Revolution. The expression "i = 0" evaluates  
to either true or valse but does nothing with the result. IF what  
you intend to do here is to initialize local variables, then you  
need the slightly more verbose:


local tDbA
put empty into tDbA (or you can use double quotes instead of "empty")
local i
put 0 into i
local tDataA
put empty into tDataA



Dan,

Declaring a variable as local initializes to an empty variable. So -

local tDbA,tDataA

would initialize both variables as empty.  For example:

on doSomething
local tVar

put tVar &cr& tVar2
end doSomething

Would display and empty line, a return and "tVar2" on the second  
line in the message box.  You can initialize a variable to value as  
well.


on doSomething
local i = 0

put i
end doSomething

would print 0 in the message box.


Having said that, it is strictly optional in Transcript to use the  
word "local" and I'd venture to say that the vast majority of us  
never use it. Variables are local unless they're explicitly  
defined to be global. In that case, you eliminate the three  
"local" lines in the above and just assign the initialization  
values to the variables with the same effect.




The person probably got the code from original libDatabase example  
code.  Back in the day I used to initialize variables with ""  
before I knew that just declaring them set them to empty.Now I  
just define all local variables en mass:


local tVar1,tVar2
local tDataA,tWhateverA

For integers, such as i, I used to always initialize them to 0.   
Now I only initialize them with 0 if there is a possibility of a  
math error later on in the code that could be caused by having a  
non-numeric value.


It is true that most people don't declare local variables but I do  
in all of my code.

   This handler may or may not do Bovill's job, depending on what sort of

Re: commas in custom properties

[Mark Swindell]

Don't know if this will help, but I just used the "replace x with y"  
feature in a project I'm working on where there were multiple lines 
with returns at the end and not commas:


put the cpImageItems into cleanMeUp
replace return with comma in cleanMeUp
if x is among the items of cleanMeUp then
etc.

in this way all the line breaks are converted to items.

Otherwise, in the following, "big cat wolf" is considered item 2 of 3 
items.


tiger, big cat
wolf, wild dog

I use text stored in custom properties for word searching purposes,

example a custom property that contains;


to read, recite

Using the broader search (mark cds where it is in the storedText of 
me) it wil return for "to" , "read" and "recite."


in a more precise word search (mark cds where it is among the words of

obviously not for "read" because of the comma.  I'm pretty sure this 
can be done somehow, most likely very easily, but I can't seem to 
discover it on my own.


A little help (once again!)

Re: Spell Checker

[Scott Morrow]

Greetings Yves,
Jean-Baptiste LE STANG has written an AppleScript extension  <  
http://www.lestang.org/ >  that allows a link to Apple's OSX spell 
checking engine.  It can be used with Revolution to create a spell 
checker.  Obviously it requires OSX and so will not provide the general 
solution that the others (and myself) are looking for.   I have posted 
a Rev spell checker stack that uses this AppleScript extension.  
Perhaps it will give you some ideas.  Install XSpell and then try:

problem waiting - spellchecker

[MisterX]

Hi everyone

im working on this spellchecker (too) in a palette form. It should be able
to work in any stack... Dictionary is ready, so is the SpellChecker's GUI.

While everything is nearly ready, the stack makes a loop to parse all words
and check each word and waits for a user input to decide what happens to
each unknown word - as expected. but...

Now, the problem is that once a word is detected as unknown, the loop must
wait for the user to hit the buttons "learn, skip, ignore, etc..."

so it goes like this

for each word w in thistext 
  if w is not in dictionary then
put w into field unknown
put suggestions(w) into field suggestions
wait until checkdone
  end if

The skip, continue, etc, buttons contain their functions or change a global
parameter that tell the parser to continue or skip, etc... And at the end,
each button script contains "checkdone".

But while this seemed too simple and easy, it didn't work. 

The loop gets stuck waiting blocking the gui completly... Clicking on a
button with the CheckDone caller doesnt work either. Wait just blocks
everything... Control-C is the only way to stop it.

I tried also

wait until the mouse is up/down - it works a bit better but... this gets
complicated, checking all the targets, and unlike a normal word processor,
all the applications are still blocked waiting... There must be an easier
way...

So any suggestions on how to handle this in an "idle" way are welcome. 

- I dont want to block the GUI 
- The user should be able to edit anything (the correctedtext for example)
meanwhile (put the check in the bg).
- when i pause the loop, any button should be able to work... 
- how do you resume a loop in this case?

im thinking of using a parametrable loop that stops at each unknown word
remembering in it's parameters what word that was... Each palette button
(skip, fix, learn, etc) will do it's job and relaunch the spellcheck loop
which will continue at the next word... 

But solution 1 was so simple...

Does anyone have a better suggestion?

Thanks in advance
Xavier

button with the CheckDone caller doesnt work either. Wait just blocks
everything... Control-C is the only way to stop it.

I tried also

wait until the mouse is up/down - it works a bit better but... this gets
complicated, checking all the targets, and unlike a normal word processor,
all the applications are still blocked waiting... There must be an easier
way...

So any suggestions on how to handle this in an "idle" way are welcome. 

- I dont want to block the GUI 
- The user should be able to edit anything (the correctedtext for example)

meanwhile (put the check in the bg).
- when i pause the loop, any button should be able to work... 
- how do you resume a loop in this case?


im thinking of using a parametrable loop that stops at each unknown word
remembering in it's parameters what word that was... Each palette button
(skip, fix, learn, etc) will do it's job and relaunch the spellcheck loop
which will continue at the next word... 


But solution 1 was so simple...

Does anyone have a better suggestion?

Re: problem waiting - spellchecker

[Brian Yennie]

Xavier,

I would suggest either:

a) use "wait ... with messages"

or

b) modularize the code such that your buttons can pick up where your 
code left off. IOW, there is no code running while waiting for a button 
to be pressed. Just save off your progress, and wait for the next 
click.


Hope that helps!

- Brian

All my code is modularized from the start... But i thought a loop was 
necessary.

But B is how i went about it (still untested)... 

I just remember the last word i checked and continue...

would wait... with messages "" block the gui too though?

Thanks Brian

Nope - you use "with messages" specifically to avoid any "blocking".

Try it in a test stack.

Re: problem waiting - spellchecker

  wait with messages "checkContinue"
 
doesn't compile

  wait with messages checkContinue
 
causes an execution error. 

I quit MC, launch Rev to see the help about it... Ah, now i see the wait 
... "with"

ok, so i tried...

wait 0 seconds with messages checkContinue
 
still an error!

Is there supposed to be a handler checkContinue or can i just call 
checkContinue
from my other button to "trigger" the "wait with" to continue?

still lost...
