If I do it that way, the sort works perfectly, but it is too slow for
the initial display. It takes about 20 seconds to do 700 lines this
way, where using the htmlText method on a variable and then putting it
all in the field takes less than 1 second.

I am currently using the hidden column method, but I'll try Jacque's
custom sort. I always forget about those but they can be really
powerful.

Thanks,
Sarah

Re: nested ifs

[Brian Yennie]

Dave, Chipp, et al.

Consider that the following snippet is actually ambiguous. Notice two 
different formatting passes at exactly the same code. Now, of course, 
the first formatting actually resolves to valid code, while the second 
one is one "end if" short -- but who is the compiler to say which one 
you intended?


Well, that's my theory anyway - you can't actually determine which "if" 
matches matches which "else" and  "end if".


1)
If x > y then
doSomething1
if a = be then doSomething2 ##problem here
else
doSomethng3
end if

2)
If x > y then
doSomething1
if a = be then doSomething2 ##problem here
else
doSomethng3
end if

Yes, you can use VB Script to communicate to Outlook; I have an example that
works with Excel that you can adapt:

I'm pretty sure that's what it's doing. The character has to be stored 
somewhere, because if you remove the imagesource, the original character 
comes back.




I've tried setting the "alt" of the img but that doesn't help.

I have to use the direct HTML method for the initial display as
setting the imageSource of each line on the field takes far too long,
but it has to be sortable. Does anyone have any ideas?


Custom sort functions are made for this stuff. I'd test for the column 
the user wants to sort on, and sort normally unless it is the ratings 
column. In that case, use a custom function:


sort lines of fld  by customSort(each)

function customSort pRatingHTML
  put 0 into tSkip
  put 0 into tNum
  repeat
put offset("star",pRatingHTML,tSkip) into tOffset
if tOffset = 0 then exit repeat
add 1 to tNum
add tOffset to tSkip
  end repeat
  return tNum
end customSort

Can't remember what it stands for, but it's a
methodology (and interface) to Microsoft programs
(usually - though you can write your own COM applications,
though I have never done so).  Kind of like ODBC but not
just databases'.  With COM you can drive and import Outook,
Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Access etc.

[Thomas McCarthy]

Sarah, I just glanced at this, so if it's resolved already, forgive me.

I had a field that would allow users to record their voices when they pressed 
on a "0" and play their recording when the pressed on a ">" [I did this because 
there were varying numbers of lines...long story]

Later I wanted to put an image there to make it more understandable to the 
user--I set the imagesource of that character.

Here's the part that's interesting for you. When I moved my cursor over the 
image, the script reacted as though the characters were still there.

So... for your ranking field, put numbers for rank and then run a script that 
sets the imagedata of those characters. You should still be able to sort the 
field because the numbers still exist.

hope that helps

Re: Stack to Flash

That would be good too, but there's a popularity hurdle.
Besides, stacks wouldn't run on computers in internet-cafes
without a dreamcard/RR plug-in.

Thanks Scott, but it isn't the sorting that's the problem, it's the
fact that when I set the img src directly, there is nothing to sort
by.

Off the top of my head, a sizeable hurdle is the object models of the two
programs are substantially different.  Flash is based on timelines, frames,
movie clips and many multimedia constructs, such as codecs for audio and
video.  Its purpose is to publish a file or set of files that its own Flash
Player can render on various platforms.

I doubt that Rev would be a very good tool for building, then porting to
Flash.  I will defer to anyone who really knows the answer or has tried
this.

In my experience, buttons and fields are very easy to create using the mouse
or with Flash ActionScript language procedures and functions.

What I have done is use Revolution to write a complex text file that
instructs ActionScript to create fields and buttons, give them attributes
and functions so that I direct what Flash Player does.  This takes advantage
of the 'loadVars' capability of Flash to read variables and values
on-the-fly and process them accordingly.

It would be interesting to find out kind of movie would work directly from
Rev.

Text in imageSource

[Sarah Reichelt]

Hi All,

I have a list field which I want to use to show ratings in a way
similar to how iTunes does it i.e. a column with stars or dashes to
indicate the current rating which can be clicked to change them.

I have done it OK and it works fine except for sorting. In the initial
setup, I set the htmlText of the field directly and use "img src" to
set the correct icon in place. The line below gives a 1 star rating:

put "" into
item 5 of line x of tHTML


When the rating is changed by clicking, I use this:

put pRating & ".." into item 5 of line pLineNum of fld "PictureList"
repeat with x = 1 to 3
if x > pRating then
put "Dash.png" into tImage
else
put "Star.png" into tImage
end if
set the imageSource of char x of item 5 of line pLineNum of
fld "PictureList" to tImage
end repeat

The second method produces a column that can be sorted, but setting
the html directly does not. Checking the htmlText for each method,
they appear to be identical.

It's as if Rev is storing the original character somewhere hidden and
it doesn't appear in the htmlText although it is available to the sort
command.

I've tried setting the "alt" of the img but that doesn't help.

I have to use the direct HTML method for the initial display as
setting the imageSource of each line on the field takes far too long,
but it has to be sortable. Does anyone have any ideas?

TIA,

It depends on the properties of the field. If it is a list field, you
can get the selectedText as the whole line will have been selected
when you clicked.

Otherwise, I think you can get the value of line 6 of field 2 and
possibly the text of line 6 of field 2

Transcript being as flexible as it is, there are about a gazillion ways

1. Use "add" sequentially:

put fld 1 into myTotal -- put in the initial value
add fld 2 to myTotal
add fld 3 to myTotal
... etc
put myTotal into fld 9


2. Use "add" in a repeat loop:

repeat with x = 1 to 8
  add fld x to myTotal
end repeat
put myTotal into fld 9

3. Use the built-in "sum" function:

  put sum(fld 1,fld 2,fld 3,fld 4,fld 5,fld 6,fld 7,fld 8) into fld 9


You can substitute the field's name for the number in any of these. 
I.e.: add fld "effort" to mytotal, etc.

Re: Addition-Elementary Style

Hi Michael,

Assuming that your fields are, for instance , field number 1 to 8 and  
are ensured to be numbers:


local tTotal
-
put 0 into tTotal
repeat with i = 1 to 8
  add fld i to tTotal
end repeat
put tTotal into fld "Total"

For a better security (but you have to care when creating the fields)  
you can use the IDS instead of the numbers:

For instance with 8 fields ID 1256 to 1293:

local tTotal
-
put 0 into tTotal
repeat with i = 1 to 8
  add fld ID (1255 + i)  to tTotal
end repeat
put tTotal into fld "Total"

One way is to 
put field 1 + field 2 + field 3 --msg box shows the answer
put (field 1 + field 2 + field 3) into field sumOfFields

another is
add field 1 to field sumOfFields
add field 2 to field sumOfFields

Are you sure there is not more than one line in these fields?
put (line 1 of field 1)+(line 1 of field 2)

try
put (field 1)*1
which should show you if it is considered a number.

Hope this helps, bro.

Re: How to allow only single line into text field (instead of mutliple line)

[Jonathan Lynch]

You also need to bear in mind the danger of a user pasting in text that
includes a linefeed.

I accomplish this with a rawkeydown handler that blocks the return and enter
keys, and that checks for ctrl-C and the insert key, and if it detects them,
replaces linefeed with empty before inserting the text to be pasted.

An easier approach (if acceptable for your app) is to also check after the
fact:

on Closefield
  replace linefeed with empty in me
end Closefield

on exitfield
  closefield
end exitfield


The exitfield handler in this case is necessary to cover for situations
where the user pastes text, then gets out of the field without typing
anything.

It's this form I was referring to. To me it lacks clarity and is

I find the notion of  one "thing" per line to be clear and simple.   
But when we use control structures that span more than one line, then  
it's clearer to mark the end of that structure (end if, end repeat,  
etc.)


So, I find these clear:

1.
if  then 

2.
if  then
  
end if

3.
if

But the following I find difficult to read:

4.

But as you say, it's a matter of personal taste. :-)

Copyright issues with RevGoURL commands

[Stgoldberg]

In writing a Rev command such as:

RevGoURL "http://www.google.com/search?q=dogs"; (for literature)

or

RevGoURL "http://www.images.google.com/images?svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&; 
ie=ISO-8859-1&q=dogs" (for images)

it seems to me that what one is really doing is the equivalent of 
automatically typing in the searchword "dogs" into Google's search field on the 
Google 
home page and then pressing Return.   

Since Google does not have any advertising on its home page www.google.com or 
www.images.google.com, it would seem that Google should not lose any 
advertising by doing the automation.   Any advertising should appear as it 
usually 
does going through Google's home page.   So I am wondering if there would be a 
copyright restriction in the case where no advertising money is lost by Google. 
 
 I'm planning to consult with a copyright attorney for more information, but 
if anyone has any more thoughts, I'd certainly like to hear. Thanks to Richard 
Gaskin and Peter Evensen for the helpful comments.

IF  THEN


Does one execute after the other, or is the second executed only 
after the first condition is met? THIS is not clear, so I tend to be 
quite explicit or use a CASE statement. Kinda like using parentheses, 
might as well give the compiler succinct instructions!




It's a matter of preference I suppose. For me, "if it is empty then

space.

As you know it, I was concerned by this possible issue with my  
Resources Picker plugin and, now, with the future Rev Search Engine.
All you say is right but I don't think that using revGoUrl (that  
displays the Google pages in your browser) should be a problem.
As soon as you pop-up a browser and don't distort its contents,  
actually it's all benefice for Google :-)
You can type in the entry box; why would you not be able to use any  
convenient process to paste an url in your browser entry box?
The problem comes when you use *internally* the Google search engine  
and display only what you want into your own app.

And this, I do understand it.

Anybody know of a work-around, other than not using the "as sheet"

How about this as a work-around:

  lock menus
  enable menu item

David,

If I understand correctly, you can use the EnhancedQT external to  
accomplish this.  I do this in my apps by doing this:


1) If the movie does not already exist locally then set the filename  
of the player to the http url.
2) QuickTime begins downloading the file progressively.  This means  
the video will playback while it downloads but you can't skip ahead  
to a point that isn't downloaded yet like you could with a streaming  
file.
3) When it comes time to unload the movie from the player you can  
save it locally.  First use qtGetMovieLoadState to make sure the  
movie has downloaded entirely.  If it has then use qtSaveAs to save  
the movie file locally.


This works really well in that the user can start viewing the movie  
instantly but you can still cache it for later viewing with no wait.


You can look at the enhancedQT external here: http:// 
mangomultimedia.com/developer/revolution/index.html


You should use the 1.x version which is marked as beta but everything  
works fine and it is the version I use in my projects.

If you specify a URL for a streaming QuickTime movie file,  
Revolution displays the movie sequentially as it downloads.  
Otherwise, Revolution must download the entire file before you can  
play it. To pre-fetch a file from the Internet in order to speed up  
access to it, use the load command before visiting the card that  
holds the player or image that references the file's URL.


OK - but in either case where is the downloaded QuickTime file and  
how can I copy it to a permanent store?


A final question is which is a faster or more reliable method to use  
(given that I can access the files either by ftp or http:


load url

or

libURLDownloadToFile

And is there a way to resume a download after pausing it for some  
reason?

Re: Checking legality of a string

Looks good, Martin, but if the original intention is "isValid", not
"isNotValid", I'd personally remove the "double-negatives":

 function isvalid mystring
return (matchtext(mystring,"^[a-zA-Z0-9_]+$"))
 end isvalid

The other possibility, if you want to depend on what PCRE's character
matching table says, is to use the "any 'word' character" option \w:

 function isvalid mystring
return (matchtext(mystring,"^\w+$"))
 end isvalid

The docs (at http://www.pcre.org/man.txt) says this about \w:

   A "word" character is any letter or digit or the underscore
   character, that is, any character which can be part of a Perl
   "word". The definition of letters and digits is controlled by
   PCRE's character tables, and may vary if local-specific
   matching is taking place. For exaemple, in the "fr" (French)
   locale, some character codes greater than 128 are used for
   accented characters and there are matched by \w.


Anyway, my 2 cents...

Re: nested ifs

[Stephen Barncard]

Why? If one uses the 'classic' full IF-THEN_ELSE-ENDIF with all 
KEYWORDS on separate lines, it always works, and it is not ambiguous 
as with dangling THENs.


We certainly don't have this kind of problem with CASE statements, do 
we? They are what they are - there's a form, and one follows it - 
it's an element of syntax!!


am I old-fashioned, dumb or what?

there are MANY other issues with Rev that need attention before this one!

Re: nested ifs

[simplsol]

Dave,
 The location of "then" is mostly personal preference. To me, this is 
more logical, consistent and easier to read:


ifthen... (for short statement, short response)

if (long statement)
then (long response)

if
then
(lots of responses)
end if

if
then
1
2
3
else
1
2
end if

if
then
 if
 then
 else
 end if
else
 if
 then
 else
  if
  then
  end if
 end if
end if

 No matter how many subconditionals there are, it is easy to see which 
statements and responses go together.

Paul Looney

PS I hope that last example came over alright. Kind of meaningless if 
it is all flush left. If it got garbled, just paste it into a script 
and the script editor will align it properly.

Re: Copyright issue with RevGoURL commands?

[Peter T. Evensen]

I'm not a lawyer, but I don't see how one could copyright a URL, which is 
what one would have to do for you to get into problems.


I believe Google is licensing an SDK so people can use there services.  At 
the very worst, you'd have to license the SDK so you could "legitimately" 
generate search URL, but I don't think you would even need to do that.

Re: nested ifs

[Stephen Barncard]

Chipp, I think the compiler doesn't like dangling THEN's in any case, 
and in fact would be much happier with END IF when the statement gets 
long. Using this form always works (and for me easier to read 
anyway...) - it takes up more space though.



IF 
THEN
  -- statements
ELSE
  -- statements
END IF


I like to do the following:

if tResult is "Error" then
  answer "Go Ahead anyway" with "Cancel" or "OK"
  if it is "Cancel" then exit to top
end if

Most of the time it compiles, but sometimes the single line if 
statement in the middle throws and error and won't compile, so I'm 
forced to do:


if tResult is "Error" then
  answer "Go Ahead anyway" with "Cancel" or "OK"
  if it is "Cancel" then
exit to top
  end if
end if

Anyone know why the compiler does this? I can't seem to figure out 
under what circumstances this seems to happen.


best,

Chipp

One way:

if C is not in "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890_" then \

Re: Checking legality of a string

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Graham,

If your string is not 3000 chars long, you could just test the ASCII  
code of each char:


function RightStr pStr
  local tChar,tCharToNum
  -
  repeat for each char tChar in pStr
put charToNum(tChar) into tCharToNum
if not (tCharToNum = 95 \
or (tCharToNum >= 48 and tCharToNum <= 57) \
or (tCharToNum >= 65 and tCharToNum <= 90) \
or (tCharToNum >= 97 and tCharToNum <= 122)) then return false
  end repeat
  return true
end RightStr

Then

if not RightStr() then  -- not a right string
else 

I think that there should be also a solution using matchText :-)
If you are interested in ASCCI code, look at charToNum and numToChar  
functions.
On the other hand, ASCII Picker, an utility you will find on my  
website might help you.

Just can't see the slick way of doing it. Maybe I should go outside

Dangling else (was: nested ifs)

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Paul,

Here is the copy of a mail I exchanged with Chipp off-list that might  
interest you (and all):


Le 25 janv. 06 à 13:29, Eric Chatonet a écrit :

Found the following in Bugzilla with an interesting comment from Mark:

Bugzilla 2694 by [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Scott Slaugh)

This isn't a bug, but just a classic parsing ambiguity (it's called the
'dangling else' problem)

If-Then-Else constructs in Revolution come in several flavours:

  1) if  then  else 

  2) if  then 
 else 

  3) if  then 
 else
   
 end if

  4) if  then
   
 else 

  5) if  then
else 

  6) if  then
   
  else

  end if

  7) if  then
   
 end if

  8) if  then 

If you take a look at your code, then the last command before the  
else is what
you want to be of form (8), however Revolution notices the next token  
is an
'else' followed by a newline so assumes it to be of form (6) - thus  
it expects

an extra 'end if'.

Basically, you have an 'else' dangling after an 'if' that could  
belong to either

the outer 'if' or the inner 'if'. As is standard practice in all other
languages, Revolution binds the else to the innermost 'if' statment.

You can get around this, however, by putting a new line after the  
final if

statement:
  if ... then
if  then ...

  else
  end if

Chipp,
I have the same experience with nested conditionals. I have found  
the following format (with the "then" below the "if") helps.


if tResult is "Error"
then
 answer "Go Ahead anyway" with "Cancel" or "OK"
 if it is "Cancel" then exit to top
end if

There is sometimes still a problem, especially if the nested  
conditional contains an "else" - so I always close these with an  
"end if":


if tResult is "Error"
then
 answer "Go Ahead anyway" with "Cancel" or "OK"
 if it is "Cancel"
 then
 exit to top
 else
 doElseStuff
 end if
end if

It takes more space but I find it is easier to read - and it always  
compiles.

Checking legality of a string

[graham samuel]

What's the most economical way of checking that a string contains  
only certain characters? I'm just trying to check if a string  
contains letters, digits and underscores, and nothing else. The ways  
I've thought of doing it seem clunky. Basically I want to script


if myString contains only  then...

Just can't see the slick way of doing it. Maybe I should go outside  
and check for mole damage instead...

As an addedum to this, it happens consistently after an ask file 
command has been issued that Cut and Copy are disabled. Placing the 
cursor into an editable field does not reset it. And it only seems to 
manifest itself on the Mac version. I tried inserting  "enable 
menuitem 1 of menu "Edit"" at the end of my handler invoking the ask 
file command, but no go.



Hello,

My standalone has a standard Edit menu, with Cut, Copy Paste 
menuitems. In none of my scripts do I ever enable or disable them, 
yet they are getting disabled some of the time. The keyboard 
shortcuts always seem to work,  but I can't figure out what the 
issue is here. Any clues for me?


Thanks,

Marty Knapp

click at btn

[sims]

 I'm making a tutorial for an application, using the move command
to send a faux cursor through the different elements of the app.


When I use the following with an option button
click button 1 at the loc of card button "long_day"

the button will display the menu.

My problem is that I cannot get the script to continue on from there.

IOW  the menu of the option btn stays open and no matter what
I try, I cannot get the option btn to close so my tutorial can 
continue to other objects.


Anyone have any suggestions?

ciao,
sims

Calendar widget&[EMAIL PROTECTED]

[Kresten Bjerg]

Hi
Concerning calendars: We have tried to convert the old hypercard calendar to rev
. It works OK with the "Weekly" part, which plays a central role in our 
freeware diary "Phenomenalog",
which is approaching publication. But the SixMonthly part (which is central to 
the production of new weekcards)
did we not suceed in converting rightly. Maybe somebody on the list has done 
this job with succes, - or could
help repair all the outcommented parts in our "SixMonthly.rev".
I have uploadet both substacks seperately to the user-site (where their partly 
functioning in "Phenomenalog.16.1.8.1"
also can be inspected.  You find them under the username "Kresten".
Maybe the set if optimized could be useful for others. The advantage: that you 
get a chance to enter more than an X or a single word into
the days.
But maybe the term " Widget" then should not fit ?
 
Greetings from Copenhagen

Re: Creating items on a card that isn't the current card.

[Eric Chatonet]

The copied image in the group "Mystery Phrase" has an id of 0 if  
this card

isn't the current card.


An image the ID of which is 0 is the template image that should  
always stay virtual...

You succeeded to display it ;-)
Kudos!

No-one yet has mentioned Sarah Reichelt's excellent Calendar widget, at 
http://www.troz.net/Rev/libraries.html



Calendar.rev 
This project file contains a calendar sub-stack that you can insert 
into any project. It allows users to enter a date graphically, thereby 
ensuring that any date will be in a valid format. The new version 
handles international systems, allows weeks starting on Monday or 
Sunday, has large and small calendars, includes an installer and can 
hilite set dates either once or annually.

Re: nested ifs

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Chipp,

I noticed that too. The compiler seems to be confused but should not...
Systematically, I never use a single line conditional statement  
before an "else" or an "end if" to avoid problems.

Adding a line between (even a blank one) makes the problem vanish :-)

Eric Chatonet
