XML and accented characters [HELP]

2007-01-08 Thread Zax

Hello,

My standalone (built for Mac and Windows) uses an XML file to store and
retreive some user options.
One of these options is the name of a folder. This name can contains
accented characters (french) and blank spaces.

I encounter 2 problems:

1 - on Mac, if the string to store contains accented chars or blank spaces,
when I tried to write the XML (using revAddXMLNode
xmlID,tSubNode,folderName,fld FolderName), Rev 2.7.4 doesn't write this
string.
2 - on Windows, accented characters are modified, so the string contains bad
characters when reading.

I looked into this forum, find some tips like:
- convert the string data to UTF-8 before writing to the XML file (put
uniDecode(uniEncode(tASCIIText), UTF8) into tUTF8Text
- change the encoding of the XML file by using: 
   ?xml version=1.0 encoding=iso-8859-1 ?

But none of these tips are working :(
As I'm an XML newbie, could someone describe preciseley what I should do?

Thank you in advance!

Standalone Question

2007-01-08 Thread Charles Szasz
When you have a startup stack (splash screen) and a second stack  
(your application) made into a standalone, it is common for the first  
stack to be an application and .exe program respectively for the Mac  
and Windows and the second stack to remain as a Rev stack? I have  
encountered this for standalones for the Windows and the Mac  
platforms. I thought both would be made into one application.

Re: Standalone Question

2007-01-08 Thread Stephen Barncard

Hey, Charles,

The mac platform conveniently packages applications into a special 
folder, which looks to the user in the finder like a double-clickable 
application (with the extension .app), but actually can contain all 
files and folders pertaining to the project, including all stacks, 
drivers, help files, etc.


control-click on a mac standalone package in the finder, and you will 
see a popup menu. Choose Show Package Contents and you can drill 
further into it. All the rev stuff is in the 'Mac OS' directory.


Working with Rev on a Mac is a dream. I can be in the IDE editing 
'inside' the standalone, save and at any time launch the same code as 
a standalone, close, then go back to the IDE. And it all ends up in a 
perfect, icon'd package.


The standalone package itself never has to be recreated unless 
there's a change in the launch process, and all the rev 'stuff' is 
there. All the stacks for your project are inside, in the hierarchy 
you designed.


You never have any path or inclusion problems that might happen in 
standalone building because your not building one, and the paths in 
the standalone and when editing are one and the same.


The biggest 'gotcha' that I can attach to this method is that DATE 
BASED BACKUPS  will NOT WORK with stacks saved inside a package like 
this. I know the Finder and my backup program (Folderssynchronizer) 
still thinks my app was last changed on July 6, 2006, when actually 
stacks are changed often.


After discovering this, I used internal Rev calls inside the app to 
compress itself and send a copy to a ftp server offsite.


 I also wrote a short one to compress each stack in the hierarchy to 
an individual component of a multi file document using RevZip. ( I 
love the addition of this to the feature set. )



I would expect Rev on PC would pack everything in the build into a 
non-editable .exe file and using my method that worked on the Mac 
above would require an external folder with the editable stacks 
inside. I think I got that right, but even though I have an 
Enterprise license, I haven't spent much time on the PC side. My pet 
PC broke a while ago...so please - a PC Rev person chime in here..



When you have a startup stack (splash screen) and a second stack 
(your application) made into a standalone, it is common for the 
first stack to be an application and .exe program respectively for 
the Mac and Windows and the second stack to remain as a Rev stack? I 
have encountered this for standalones for the Windows and the Mac 
platforms. I thought both would be made into one application.

Hi,

I have two .rev file, both contain one mainStack:

StackA.Rev StackA
StackB.Rev StackB

How can I move StackB so it's a substack of StackA?

Can't seem to figure out how to do it.


Open both stacks
Use the inspector for StackB, then the Basic properties panel,  
locate the

drop down labeled mainstack, and choose StackA

Go to Standalone Application Settings.. then click on the Stacks
button at the top. There is a checkbox there called Move substacks
into individual stackfiles. If this is checked, you will get what you
describe, which is great if you need the substacks to be writable. If
you just want all the stacks in a single file, uncheck this, but you
will not be able to save any changes made to any of the stacks.

Hi all,

Download the stacks:
http://www.geocities.com/capellan2000/exportVector_v03.zip
http://www.geocities.com/capellan2000/newPentoolScript_v02.zip

New in these versions: svg export, using a custom
version of the library mc2svg from Richard Gasking.

These handlers exports: 
1- common vector graphics produced by the engine,
2- graphics with empty lines in their points 
 (look at the vector graphics that looks 3D),
3- graphics produced by the stack pentool
  (using the custom property cpoints)  

Send comments or Report problems to my email.

Feel free to use these stacks as you wish,
only remember to keep in your stacks an updated
link to my website.

Have a great good year 2007!

Read from socket without callback message

2007-01-08 Thread Jon Seymour

Hi,

I can't get this form of the read command to work. Read from socket  
rsocket until eom with callbackmsg works fine, but when I issue  
read from socket rsocket until eom, the socket always times out  
and leaves the variable 'it' empty. I'm trying for the documented  
functionality: the handler pauses while reading and continues once  
the eom is reached, with 'it' holding the contents of the read.


Is there a trick to this?

Thanks,

Jon

Probably not the answer, but have you checked the value of the  
socketTimeoutInterval?
