Re: How to identify numbers in a RegEx

[Stephen Barncard]

it's going to answer whatever is in it, in this case 0

did you mean

get "0"
get matchText(it, "[0-9]")
answer it


Why doesn't this script return true?

get "0"
get matchText(tLine, "[0-9]")
answer it

Locking Messages

[Bridger Maxwell]

Hey,
  It is me again.  I have a stack (Which I will call Stack 1) that
makes another stack (I will call it Stack 2), copies a card from some
other stack running in the background (which I call Stack 3) and sends
the new stack with the copied card all over the network where it is
added to whatever stack sees it.  The problem is that sometimes the
card on Stack 2 has unexpected handler in it that cause random errors
when I am working with it.  I realize I can lock the messages, but
that locks the messages for the Stack 1 also, which I cannot do.  Is
there any way of keeping messages from being passed to Stack 2,
without locking the messages from Stack 1?

hey, Hey, HEY!  It wasn't 20 years ago.  Stop making me older than

Oh boy.  Second of all, I still have a production system running in

Read from StnIn from POST is still broken?

[Sivakatirswami]

This is a really old problem: Rev CGI scripts are truncating data  
piped from Apache from a POST


Does anyone know for "positively absolutely" sure that new version of  
rev has over come this issue?


context:

Linux web server, Apache, call Rev CGI to receive incoming Post  
Data.  Beginning lines of script to read the incoming data -- see  
below (suggested as a possible fix years ago by Scott Raney)


(musings... it is possible that this is a client side problem?
--machine A with browser B cannot in fact encode large chunks of data  
and the name=value pair actually arrive to the server already  
truncated.. meanwhile
-- box C with browser D submits a large text chunk from the same form  
and it arrive just fine: result Rev get blamed for being intermittent  
failures... but he's really not the bad guy.


on startup
if $REQUEST_METHOD is "POST" then
put "" into PostIn
repeat until length(PostIn) >= $CONTENT_LENGTH
read from stdin until ""
put it after PostIn
end repeat  
put  urlDecode (PostIn)  into tDataIn

split tDataIn by "&" and "="
put keys(tDataIn) into tFields

.etc.

if one of the incoming name pairs contains too much data, it is  
truncated.


You can stress test this yourself:  go to:

http://www.himalayanacademy.com/teaching/stories/

and scroll down to the end of the list...the last "story is a  
submission with a large text chunk pasted into the main field.


The full cgi is here:

Re: It Variable

[Jim Witte]

  Putting 'get the result' at the end of the netrequest handler  
should do, unless something else disrupts the 'it' variable after the  
call to netrequest.  I just hacked up this set of card/button scripts  
which work:


-- card script
on netrequest tData, tComp
  return "this" && tData && tComp
  get the result -- place the result in it
end netrequest

-- btn script
on mouseup
  netrequest "some data", "some computer"
  --get the result -- placed in the script in card script instead
  answer it
end mouseup

Jim

case.  Putting get the result below the line where I call for the  
netrequest
will work, but it would be extremely difficult to do because it is  
located
in odd places all over in more than 40 stacks.  Right now I am  
thinking of
making a stack that will do it for me, but I was hoping there was  
an easier

way.

Re: Common Causes of Crashes

It happened to me when cutting, editing or pasting text in a field. 
Randomly. Only one time did I get a MacOS Error dialog - so before 
sending it to Apple (where do all those crash reports go) I copied it 
and created a text file with the info, and went to bugzilla and 
reported the crash and the report.


Just got this in the mail today...

Re: Truncating text with vGrid property

[Mark Schonewille]

Jon,

Sorry, my previous post was incomplete.

Have you set the cell editing of the table to true? I.e.
cRevTable["celledit"] = true? If so, the text should be truncated.

Additionally, you seem to have to set the locktext to true to 
have the columns truncated, but it only works after you edit the 
text and then not always/immediately.


Best,

Mark

 Specifically, the
text is NOT truncated, but simply continues to be  rendered in 
addition to (overalpping) the text in the adjacent  columns, creating 
an extremely messy presentation. Does anyone have  any thoughts on how 
to produce the documented behavior?


Thanks,

I have found that the text is only truncated if there is some next in
the next column. If this is your problem, you may want to fill empty
columns in each line with a space so as to fool the system into
thinking there is text there.

Re: First color, second color third color, etc

The short answer is that for images, the foregroundColor (aka 
firstColor), backgroundColor (aka secondColor), and the other six 
colors aren't especially useful and should probably be ignored. (They 
are the first eight colors in the image's color palette, and may very

There have been cases were an imported image has got corrupt and can
cause trouble. Does your stack contain any images? If so, make a
backup and try deleting them and see if it fixes it. Then add them
back in and try to isolate the one with the problem.

Actually, we saw this happen when doing an osx <> XP transfer.

Neither was functional :-(

Do you want to save changes to this stack ..... ?

[Francis Nugent Dixon]

Chère Jacqueline (as they would say here  !),

You have answered most of my questions.

Most of my finished stacks will be run (by collegues) on a PC,
under the PC Rev Engine, so if I take control of saving, I can forget
about automatic saving, as it happens on my Mac.

Now I know more about what constitutes a "change" and to who ?

Now I know that I must control the save, and when the stack is run under
Rev Engine (PC)  or Stack Runner (Mac) , I won't get a save request.

I still don't understand how "SaveStackRequest" works, but that also
is no longer important, based upon previous answers.

Many Thanks.

-Francis

it will always stay at the front. Try making it a normal palette but
not setting it to systemWindow.

Re: AltBrowser--wow.

[Chipp Walters]

Tom and Tom,

Thanks for the compliments on altBrowser. On rare occasion, we actually 
do listen to feedback from our users. (Chris finally bought me a battery 
for the hearing aid ;-)


With the new altBrowser DEMO/Install stack, it's super easy for us to 
upgrade users with features and fixes as needed. We'll be sure and 
mention any significant ones on our website and RevCentral.


Tom McCarthy, if you're interested in keeping up-to-date on the goings 
on of Rev 3rd party products, be sure and sign-up over at 
www.RevCentral.com for the RevCentral newsletter. There will be some new 
announcements there very shortly.


As you can imagine, creating altBrowser2 was a lot of work. Comments 
like both of yours certainly help make it worthwhile :-)


best,

Chipp


For those of you who still have not taken a minute to tryout the 
altBrowser2 demo all you have to do is launch Revolution and and copy 
and paste the below script into your message box:


go URL "http://www.gadgetplugins.com/altbrowser/altBrowserLauncher.rev";

Anyway, bravo to Chipp and team on a superb product, definitely worth  
the effort and you can't beat the price.

Re: Truncating text with vGrid property

[Jonathan Lynch]

I have a pseudo field object. It is a group that contains rows and fields.
It works very much like you would expect a table to work, allows for
inserting columns and rows, easily moving columns and rows, etc...

All the scripting and object involved can be a bit memory intensive, so if
you need something for storing several megabytes of information, my table
object would not work for you. However, if you need it as a user interface,
it would probably work quite well. I use modified versions of this table
object extensively throughout Task Mage.

So, if you want it, just let me know and I will Email it to you.

Take care,

Jonathan

Yes, it's standard behavior, and in the docs. Players with alwaysBuffer 
set to true must be scripted to work, as the controller is not active in 
that case. To use the built-in controller, alwaysBuffer must be false. 
Setting it to true can also affect the playback rate. It isn't a bug, it

Why isn't the controller shown as disabled when the alwaysBuffer is true?

Re: XP Problems Persist...

[Dan Shafer]

There's been a fair amount of chatter on various lists and boards I monitor
about treating a thumb drive more like a remote drive than an attached drive
in the sense that compressed files seem to go over to them much more cleanly
and reliably than uncompressed files.

The discussion here seems to bear that out.

Re: XP - Applescript equivalents

[Dan Shafer]

I don't have recent experience with it and I"m not even sure it's still
supported, but back in the day when I had to worry about such things, I
found Windows Scripting (
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnanchor/html/scriptinga.asp)
to be awfullyl nice and relatively usable. You can script from a Windows app
using VBScript or JScript. Not sure how you'd embed or attach to a Rev app,
but I suspect it's possible.

Truncating text with vGrid property

[Jon Seymour]

The Rev documentation states that

If the  vgrid property is true, Revolution draws a vertical line at  
each tab stop position in the field. The lines are drawn in the  
field's borderColor. This property is useful for fields that are used  
like a spreadsheet, with each tab stop marking a column.


Any text in a column is truncated when it reaches the right edge of  
the column. To show the entire contents of the column, drag over the  
text to select it. If text at the end of a line does not have a tab  
following it--that is, if it's the last column in the field--it is  
not truncated.


If the field's tabStops property is set to empty, the vgrid lines are  
drawn every 32 pixels, but the text is not truncated to individual  
cells.



However, despite having tabstops set, vGrid set to true, and seeing  
the actual vertical lines drawn just fine, I observe a different  
behavior with the text on both Mac OSX and Win32 platforms.  
Specifically, the text is NOT truncated, but simply continues to be  
rendered in addition to (overalpping) the text in the adjacent  
columns, creating an extremely messy presentation. Does anyone have  
any thoughts on how to produce the documented behavior?


Thanks,

Jon

Re: Importing and export text with foreign accents

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Charles,

You are right, but as I understand it from Derek's question, his 
text file is only an intermediate result for use on the same 
platform. Still, even if he is going to use the text on a 
different platform, while the text being plain ascii, htmlText 
or even a script to convert the text might be a better solution 
than unicode.


I think we need a little more information from Derek to decide 
what is the best method for him.


Best,

Mark

Re: AltBrowser--wow.

Tom,

I also struggled with altBrowser 1 and have just finished building my  
first web browser into my project and can definitely say it is  
fantastic. Once I got my email address correct it was a breeze to  
use, install and impress the heck out of every one that sees it. I  
had my own address wrong for the registration. DUH.


Anyway, bravo to Chipp and team on a superb product, definitely worth  
the effort and you can't beat the price.

I also got the altFont application and have not used it yet.

I shot off an angry letter to the Altuit team about what I found as  
shortcommings:

1. the demo on the site was not the latest (bug-free) version
2. the obvious pit-fall (which even Dan Shafer fell into)--not  
ensuring the plug-in was installed was not properly covered.
3. the demo stack tried to cram every type of function onto one  
card making it rather daunting to a newbie.


Well, somebody over there was listening! Each and every one of  
those concerns has been so well addressed you wouldn't know it was  
the same product that caused me heart-burn.


Downloading and installing is a breeze, updating couldn't be easier  
and the demo stack gracefully guides you through the features. Bravo!


BTW. I decided to take a look at AltBrowser again after happening  
across AltFont (which similarly is a joy to install). AltFont is an  
answer to a lot of my dreams. I need some special characters which  
unicode can do, but rev doesn't handle unicode very well. AltFont  
will enable me to use the special fonts I already have and I can  
kiss unicode good-bye for now! Was this announced on the list? I  
don't recall seeing it.

Any insight would be appreciated!

Re: XP Problems Persist...

[Rob Cozens]

Judy, Andre, et al:

it will sound stupid but I had tons of problems with my thumb drive 
corrupting my rev stacks... after using it, rev would cease to 
recognize the stacks. It was not a rev problem it was a cheap thumb 
drive problem... have you tried to transfer the files using another 
medium?




I had this problem moving v2.1.2 Mac stacks to v2.6.1 Rev on XP.

It didn't seem to be the media (Lexar JumpDrive), because compressed 
stacks dragged from the Mac to the JumpDrive expanded correctly on the 
XP.

Re: How to change the label of a button to the contents of an editable field?

[Klaus Major]

Dag William,


Hi there,

I am trying to make the label of a button the same as the contents  
of an editable field.

So far I've come up with this:
set the label of button "1" to word 1 of field "1" but this returns  
the word "Field" as label of button 1.


I am stuck here but its probably very simple.
Is there someone out there who could help me?


the syntax is correct actualy!

Question:
Do you mean the field/button with the number 1 (first field/button) or a
field/button NAMED "1"?

In the first case you should omit the quotes, in the second case
you really should use another name, since you may get very strange  
results

when naming object with a number!

Just call the field "field1" (button "button1") and then try again.

Works fine here :-)


greetings,

William de Smet

[Peter T. Evensen]

set the label of button "1" to word 1 of the text of field "1"  should do 
the trick.

Re: resizable stack with Mac unresizable with Windows

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi André,

I didn't test this in 2.7, but in earlier versions there used to 
be a problem that involved changing the decorations and affected 
the resizable of the stack on all Windows platforms. This is a 
Revolution bug that has already been reported to BugZilla:




Since you're including all default decorations plus metal while 
there is no metal on Windows available, why don't you set the 
decorations to "default"? That should "solve" your problem.


Best,

Mark

Re: XP Problem SOLVED!

[Robert Brenstein]

Yup, Andre:

That's apparently the cause!  I was able to u/l the file to RevOnline,
install Rev on the PC in here and pull it down from there.

Worked fine.

Have advised the student that his drive is the problem.

As for why we didn't try other options, well, there aren't any other
options.  Neither of us had a burnable CD, the Macs are all OS 9 and most
of them don't work at all, and even if they did, they're running Rev 2.5,
and, finally, the FTP server corrupts as well as zero's out files
unpredictably, so I couldn't distribute the files that way, either.
Yikes.

Thanks again!

Judy


Such problems are specific only to certain USB stick technologies. 
Even though they all look alike, more or less, they use different 
storage technologies inside. I have encountered some problems with 
the newest, very cheap ones, including not being recognized by one or 
the other system, whereas older ones I have work reliably between 
OS9, OSX, and Windows.


Your problems with FTP server sound weird. But zipped stacks should 
transfer okay as email attachments if nothing else is available and 
anti-spam lets zip files through.

resizable stack with Mac unresizable with Windows

I have a stack whose resizable property is set to true.

AltBrowser--wow.

[Thomas McCarthy]

Last summer I wrote a message airing publicly my complaints about this product. 
It was a bit of vitrol after frustrating attempts to get it to work (yes, I had 
read the manuals!)

I shot off an angry letter to the Altuit team about what I found as 
shortcommings:
1. the demo on the site was not the latest (bug-free) version
2. the obvious pit-fall (which even Dan Shafer fell into)--not ensuring the 
plug-in was installed was not properly covered.
3. the demo stack tried to cram every type of function onto one card making it 
rather daunting to a newbie.

Well, somebody over there was listening! Each and every one of those concerns 
has been so well addressed you wouldn't know it was the same product that 
caused me heart-burn.

Downloading and installing is a breeze, updating couldn't be easier and the 
demo stack gracefully guides you through the features. Bravo!

BTW. I decided to take a look at AltBrowser again after happening across 
AltFont (which similarly is a joy to install). AltFont is an answer to a lot of 
my dreams. I need some special characters which unicode can do, but rev doesn't 
handle unicode very well. AltFont will enable me to use the special fonts I 
already have and I can kiss unicode good-bye for now! Was this announced on the 
list? I don't recall seeing it.

First color, second color third color, etc

[Stgoldberg]

I have been puzzled by the color feature in the object inspector for some of 
the objects (e.g. images) which list the options of "First color, second 
color, third color etc." What does this do?   If I check off a color, nothing 
happens and the option disappears on leaving the object inspector.   Perhaps 
someone can clarify this.   Thanks.

XP - Applescript equivalents

[Richard Miller]

Our Rev program is Mac based. We want to run it under XP. We use  
three Applescript-based functions in this program that need to be  
replaced under XP. I'm looking for suggestions on how best to do  
this. The three functions:


- get the status of the internal battery (on a laptop)
- get the wireless strength (was airport status)
- switch wireless connection (was switch airport connection)

I'm guessing there are DLL's to do this, but perhaps none already  
compatible with Rev. I realize we can use non-Rev DLL's. Perhaps  
that's the best option. I'd like to hear other opinions.


Thanks.

Roll your own with your own rules and reactions :-)
Here is my version I put together very quickly so you may want to improve
it.  I use my style of programming code.. old habits die hard, but it works
for me.

First, make a new main stack, create two fields, paste the code into the
stack script, then put the original list into field 1, double click on the
card anywhere to run the script.

 --start copy here ---
on mouseDoubleUp
  put empty into fld 2
  put extractItem(fld 1, 3,4, tab) into extractResult
  if extractResult contains "error" then
answer extractResult
exit to top
  end if
  put extractResult into fld 2
end mouseDoubleUp

function extractItem listt, aa, bb, cc
  set the itemDel to cc -- sets the desired delim
  repeat for each line LNN in listt
if the number of items in LNN < bb then
  put "error to few items" into ans
  exit repeat
end if
put item aa to bb of LNN & cr after newListt
  end repeat
  if ans contains "error" then
put cr & LNN after ans
return ans
  else 
delete last char of newListt
return newListt
  end if
end extractItem
- end  copy ---

You do not have to worry about keeping the old itemDelimeter since this
setting (1) only affects the current handler (2) uses the default until
reset in each handler that runs...
which means each time the extractItem() function is called, the itemDel is a
comma, then we set it to be whatever is passed as "cc",  and
after the  extractItem() function ends, this itemDel does not affect to the
original handler.  Thus the original handler in this example will always
have the comma as its itemDel setting.

You can confirm this by adding the following line at the end of the first
handler
answer the number of items in fld 2 --which should be 1 if you used tabs


you may want to add an error check to see if  aahttp://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

baseConvert is a good, general purpose tool - but you can do this more 
concisely using format


put "#" into theWebColor -- leading "#"
repeat for each item myItem in theColorNumber -- numeric triplet -  R,G,B
   put format("%02X",myItem) after theWebColor

note - I prefer RGB colours to be #0A0B0F - i.e. upper case - so I used 
"%02X", but if you prefer lower case you can instead us "%02x"
