Re: Shell Function and $PATH?
Hi David, How does the $PATH and the shell() function work? That is the path as you get from: put $PATH or put shell(echo $PATH) does not correspond with what you get if you try the same from the shell. This is presumably because these are set by various bash scripts when a terminal starts and Rev does not do this? OK - but how does Rev do this exactly, which $PATH does if take, and what happens when you set the PATH from inside Revolution - this is important as shelling to programs does not work unless they are on the PATH. All variables that are prefixed by '$' are directly linked to their corresponding environment variables. So the values you see from within a Revolution application are what has been passed to the process by the OS. In particular, the PATH variable will often differ from that which you see in a Terminal window because after the terminal launches it runs an interactive shell. Interactive shells (such as bash) typically have their own configuration that augments the PATH variable. In terms of setting such variables then the only thing to remember is that environment variables are passed from parent process to child process but not the other way around. So the OS gives Revolution its own set of environment variables, which you can modify, and Revolution will then pass the same values (including modifications) on to any child processes it launches - in particular, ones run using shell. So, all you need to do to change the paths that the shell command looks in is to set the $PATH variable to the required list before using the shell function.

Re: handler troubles
Hi Ben, I am going to make a standalone, that saves to a separate data stack. Right now I have 2 sample stacks to work out the kinks, button sample and data sample. On the button sample stack I have a series of quiz items per card, each with yes or no responses. I used radio buttons, grouped for each item. So item #1 has a YES btn and a NO btn, named yes1 and no1, these are grouped to make group1. At the bottom of the page is a btn Go Next Page, with the script: on mouseUp put the value of hilitedbutton of group group1 into field 1 of stack data sample end mouseUp Don't use value: ... put hilitedbutton of group group1 into field 1 of CD X of stack data sample ## see below... ... This will only return the NUMBER of the hilited button of that group 1 if the the FIRST button in that group is hilited and 2 if it i the second one. This works alright, but it puts YES as 1 and NO as 2, apparently based on the ID. What I want is to be able to code the correct answers 1 the incorrect answers as -1, with the unanswered items as 0. So I tried scripts like this, with -1 for the incorrect buttons: global dataValue1 on mouseUp put -1 into dataValue1 end mouseUp And this in the Go Next Page btn: global dataValue1 on mouseUp send dataValue1 to field 1 of stack data sample end mouseUp But get error message: Type Handler: can't find handler Object: Next Line: send dataValue1 to field 1 of stack data sample Hint: -1 I can't figure out what is wrong. I've tried many permutations that I have not listed. Thanks for any help, You cannot send the value of a variable. You can only send a message = the name of a handler. So you just: global dataValue1 on mouseUp PUT dataValue1 to field 1 of CD X of stack data sample ## see below... end mouseUp And try this for checking which radiobutton is hilited: on mouseUp put empty into temp_var ## we willstore the NUMBER of the hilited button here if the hilitedbutton of grp group1 = 1 then ## the first button = yes1 is hilited put YES into temp_var else ## the secong button is hilited put NO into temp_var end if if temp_var = empty then put 0 into temp_var ## NO button is hilited! put temp_var into field 1 of CD X of stack data sample ## if you omit the descriptor of CD X it will only work if the field is on ## the current card of stack data sample or it there is only ONE card in that stack! end mouseUp Hope that helps.

How to stay on a card when repeating a « find »
Hi ! I have a background field that displays different texts on the different cards of the background. I need to find all the occurrences of one word (or string) on one card only, in order to highlight each occurrence (set the backgroundColor). So, when there is no more occurrence of a word on the current card, I must prevent the find to proceed on following cards. Here is my current solution : on highlightString thisCard Global myWords -- several words or strings separated by commas put the name of this cd into currentCard repeat for each item i in myWords repeat find whole i if the name of this cd is currentCard then set the backgroundColor of the foundText to Burlywood1 else go to currentCard exit repeat end if end repeat end repeat end highlightString -- Seems to work but not very nice ! because each time the find proceeds to another card I must « lead it back » to the right card (« go to currentCard »).

Re: handler troubles
Hi Ben, Another tip: avoid to use a number to name a field. This can be confusing. If this is important in your code to refer to a field, just add a prefix: fld data1 and retrieve what you need by using (with the above example) char 5 to -1 of the short name of the target (or what you need) This formulation will get back the right number even you have 10 000 fields.

Re: DreamCard Player and possible problems
Rand, if you want a simpler method of distribution, you can check out StackRunner: http://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/revolution/downloads/ StackRunner.htm It is a stripped-down version of DreamCard Player that doesn't include RevOnline or any other stuff, and has been adopted by a number of people for stack distribution because it can be configured to automatically open a stack when it launches and doesn't provide its own interface to get in the way. Check it out.. Thanks so much, Ken, that was very helpful. It didn't solve my student's problem, but it did help me with another problem I wrote to the list about awhile ago, namely that I couldn't get the DC Player to start on my Windows laptop running XP Home Edition.

This means that if more than one stack in a file is open, that file's path appears more than once in the list returned by the stacks function.

Font size when crossing platforms
I have just written an application using Dreamcard 6.5.1 which drills Italian verbs in all forms. I was very pleased with its appearance on my Imac G5. I gave it to a classmate in my Italian class with a copy of DreamCard Player for PCs. When it opened on her computer, the size of the card exceeded the size of her screen, losing its edges, altho it is simply centered on mine. The textfields were the original size, but the font in those fields shrank down to barely visible. They were 14 point fonts on my computer. I also tried to create a menubar from the menubar creator. If Mac format is NOT checked the menuitems appear in the upperleft corner of the card in a small font and can be selected and opened. If Mac format is selected, the items appear in REV's Menubar instead of Rev's menubar and the items (eg FILE or HELP) highlite if selected but their existing contents do not open or get exposed.

Other text is returned with the data for clarity (like total number of tasks: ) and does not need to be there. 3.

I don't think that's a bug as much as an ambiguous object reference, since it's the same field object on both cards. If you want the text of that object from a specific card you could change line 2 to: put the text of fld 1 of cd 2 -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Populating groups with data
Hi Sarah, Thanks so much for the reply! The groups have not been created, so I need to clone a group for each task... but your code certainly gives me a clear path to follow. Thanks!

Re: This I would call a bug
Dear David, Yes, since the long id includes a reference to the card, I would call it a bug. I'd post ot to Bugzilla if it hasn't been reported yet. Richars is right that there is some ambiguity in the way you refer to the field, but IMHO Revolution should be able to deal with that.

Re: Populating groups with data
And if you didn't know, when a control is created (ie. cloned), rev put's whatever it's current name is into the 'it' variable, so you can immediately position and rename it, so you could do some thing like: put 10 into tTop -- will be the top of the new group put 10 into tLeft -- will be the left repeat with n = 1 to the number of lines in taskList clone group Tasktemplate -- maybe have your group hidden somewhere in the stack set the top of it to tTop set the left of it to tLeft put the bottom of it + 10 into tTop show it set the name of it to Task n --- you could fill the each group with data at this point Mark On 5 Feb 2006, at 00:42, Josh Mellicker wrote: Hi Sarah, Thanks so much for the reply!

Where and how to get the date and time from servers on the Internet
Hello, I do not want the application to get the date from the computer clock of the user computers. I learned that the date and time can be got from some servers on the Internet. Where can I get that and what is the best and simple way I can put the date and time into a field of a card? Thanks and best regards Alex - Relax. Yahoo!
