Probably a silly question about 'find'
Feels like a very silly question, but it is stumping me. How do I use 'find' to find '4' when it occurs by itself but not 4 when it occurs in '4.1', when searching the contents of a field? I have a field with tab separated values in the form 1 1234 2 2.56 3 4.1 4 9.274 and I want to find only that line in which there is a match of the inputted string with the first item. The first item will always be a unique value. So I want in some way to do a find on 4 that will pick up only line 4, and not the occurrence of 4 in line 3. Find word doesn't seem to work, because presumably Rev sees the '.' as a word limiter. Whereas in fact, its a decimal Find string in item 1 doesn't work either. In fact, none of the parameters on find seem to work. The only thing that has occurred to me is a real kludge - just stick some character like # in front of or after the numbers in the first position, and then search for #4, and hope that it never occurs to anyone to put this character into the second field! But there must surely be a very simple and much better way?

Re: SFTP
Hello, I once had to make a solution in ssh putting generated data from one server to another using ssh (about 2002). We used a win server and had to connect to a linux server. This solution works with any win client and a server with openssh or another ssh solution able to use ppk files and was last tested about 2 years ago. Perhaps the security standards concerning ssh have changed ... We used the putty programs http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html PSFTP (an SFTP client you can use by the commandline (shell) with batchfiles steps: 0. create a security key using PuTTYgen (an RSA and DSA key generation utility) and put it on the sftp-server for authentication. Make one connection with psftp to this server by hand and approve the first time the feeddback question concerning the connection Do you know the server xyz.target.com and approve Than this ssh-connection can be further used in batchprocesses also. 1. write a batchfile out of runrev 2. write a commandfile out of runrev with the commands in f.e. c:\batchparameter.txt (f.e. cd client cd year2007 put fileA.txt get filefromServerA put xyzA.pdf like you would do with any oldfashioned commandline ftp-client). 3. run this batchfile using the shell command (blocking) or the launch command or shell(start batchfile) (nonblocking). shell(psftp -batch -bc -b c:\batchparameter.txt -P 1234 -i c:\admin\ssh\dsa.ppk [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Somewhat tricky but when properly set up working very stable. And you can use the commandline (shell) from any program which needs to connect to the server by ssh using port 1234.

revCopyFile and revCopyFolder to the desktop
Hi from Paris, I am confused about the commands revCopyFile and revCopyFolder, on both my Mac and on my PC, especially in the context of desktop. I want to create files, folders and shortcuts on the Mac and PC desktops. I am using Revolution DreamCard 2.6.1, build 152 on my Mac, and StackRunner 1.3.0.0 on my PC. I develop my stack on the Mac, and run it on both Mac and PC. Here we go : For revCopyFile and revCopyFolder, documentation says If you specify a name but not a location, Revolution assumes the destination file/folder is the defaultFolder. Does this mean that if the folderToCopyTo or destinationFolder DOES NOT begin with a /, then defaultFolder is used as the destination folder ? Supposing that this is true : revCopyFile /MyFolder/MyFile.rev,MyFile.rev could be used to create a copy on my desktop ... So I coded : put specialFolderPath(DeskTop) into GVDeskTop set the defaultFolder to GVDeskTop revCopyFile /MyFolder/MyFile.rev,MyFile.rev On my Mac, GVDeskTop contains /Users/francisdixon/Desktop On my PC, GVDeskTop contains C:/Documents and Settings/francisdixon/Desktop Because of my understanding of the documentation, I thought I would create a copy of my file on the deskTop. It didn't work ! The command appeared to execute, but no trace of my new file could be found, either on the desktop (or anywhere else on the disk). The Result showed no error. So I tried trickery and subterfuge (this is a built-in function for an Irishman !), by naming the destination file specifically as the desktop : put specialFolderPath(DeskTop) into GVDeskTop put GVDeskTop / MyFile.rev into GVMyDestination revCopyFile /MyFolder/MyFile.rev,GVMyDestination -- On the Mac OR revCopyFile C:/MyFolder/MyFile.rev,GVMyDestination -- On the PC This works on my Mac (the file appears immediately on the deskTop). On the PC, the file DOES NOT appear on the deskTop, but DOES APPEAR in the desktop folder itself : Is this because the PC desktop needs to be refreshed just like any other folder ? If so, how would I do this ? When I rebooted my PC, my file then showed on the deskTop. When I test the Result after a file copy, to see if the copy is successful, the Result should be empty (suggested by the documentation). I found that the Result contains the name of the file in quotes, after a successful copy. So how do I check for a failure in the copy ? I assumed that a revCopyFile could be used to create a copy of a file with a new name (Why Not - It does not say that fileToCopy and folderToCopyTo must NOT use different filenames !). So I tried : put specialFolderPath(DeskTop) into GVDeskTop put GVDeskTop / MyFile.rev into GVMySendingFile put GVDeskTop / NewName.rev into GVMyDestination revCopyFile GVMySendingFile,GVMyDestination On my Mac, this renames my original file on the desktop to NewName.rev, and creates a file MyFile.rev copy on the desktop. As Alice once said - Curiouser and curiouser ! (I haven't yet bothered to test this on my PC). I am also having problems creating a shortcut on the PC desktop, but I will experiment further before asking for help ! Has anybody got any experience with these commands, especially concerning the destination desktop ? -Francis Nothing should ever be done for the first time ! ___ 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: revCopyFile and revCopyFolder to the desktop
A couple specific comments: did not work put specialFolderPath(DeskTop) into GVDeskTop set the defaultFolder to GVDeskTop revCopyFile /MyFolder/MyFile.rev,MyFile.rev In the last line of this ..it does not look like you are naming a folder as a destination. I assumed that a revCopyFile could be used to create a copy of a file with a new name (Why Not - It does not say that fileToCopy and folderToCopyTo must NOT use different filenames !). The folderToCopyTo probably means 'folder' to copy to, not filename. from the docs The folderToCopyTo specifies the name and location of the FOLDER where the copied file should be placed. If you specify a name but not a location, Revolution assumes the destination folder is in the defaultFolder. location = full path name /Users/jault/Documents/agreement.jpg name = start with the default folder, thus nested. /MyFolder/subFolder/ = defautFolder/ MyFolder/subFolder/ - further reading, esp error checking code One tip for this: most likely one of your folder variables did not look like a folder or it has not been created yet, therefore setting the defaultFolder was not possible, and it was not changed. First always put the path name into its own variable and then put the filename into another. Sometimes you will want the path or file or both. Error checking is the main reason. Then get in the habit of put specialFolderPath(DeskTop) into destPathh if the last char of destPathh is not / then put / after destPathh put destPathh MyFolder/into sourcePathh if there is not a folder sourcePathh then answer Oops! There is no folder .. sourcePathh breakpoint exit to top end if if there is not a folder destPathh then answer Oops! There is no folder .. destPathh breakpoint create folder destPathh end if put MyFile.rev into FN put the defaultFolder into temp breakpoint --be sure that it is where you think it should be if there is not a file sourcePathhFN then answer Oops! There is no file .. sourcePathhFN end if revCopyFile (sourcePathhFN), destPathh if there is not a file destPathhFN then answer Oops! Did not copy.create file .. destPathhFN end if another quick test method is to put this in the MULTI line message box answer folder pick a fat one put it / -- a full folder path will be returned answer file pick a crummy one put it -- a full file path will be returned The way I do it does not use RevCopyFile or Folder Same result, different form. --for text files put url (file:pathhFN) into url (file:pathh2FN2) put fld 1 into url (file:pathhFN) put fld 2 after url (file:pathhFN) put fld 3 before url (file:pathhFN) --for images put url (binfile:pathhFN) into url (binfile:pathh2FN2) --- Hope this helps with your designs Jim Ault On 1/18/07 3:38 AM, Francis Nugent Dixon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi from Paris, I am confused about the commands revCopyFile and revCopyFolder, on both my Mac and on my PC, especially in the context of desktop.

You can also simply use the tilde character '~' to specify the user's home folder. So ~/Library would give you the user's Library folder.

I have a Rev script that performs a few different tasks in one swipe, some of which require admin privileges on the system. They involve changing a certain file's permissions, editing the file, then changing the permissions back. But it seems that every time the command changes, even if it's simply chmod 750 to chmod 755, a dialog comes up again. So I'm ending up with 2 or 3 dialogs right in a row.

Re: Common writable folders
Hi Jacque, Couple questions. Have you tried running the command from Terminal? If so, does it work okay there? Also, have you tried running it from the AppleScript script editor? If it fails there, you might get a more descriptive error message. One thing that I'm doing different is instead of putting the entire command into a variable, I'm only putting in the actual shell script part. So my code would read something like: do do shell script quote tCmd quote with administrator privileges I don't know if that makes a difference or not. It shouldn't, but it is working for me just fine. Granted, I am only changing permissions on a single file, not on a folder. Just a couple ideas. Sorry I can't really provide more concrete help.

Hello, I know Rev uses memory in your system when you are running it.

RE: Setting the default source path for Image controls
Many thanks David, Jim and especially Tereza for your help. I already use external folders for audio and video files, and set relative paths for them when opening the stack, saving them in globals. They're easy as you're setting the target file when you either play them or use a player. The images were more difficult as I didn't want to set the fileName property of every image control in the stack when opening it !! I ended up setting the defaultFolder to the graphics folder path on opening the stack (after doing the audio video paths), and then I just set the fileName of each image control to the bare filename of the image (no path) when placing the image control on a cd, and all seems to work fine. The only weird thing is that if you are editing, you'll see the whole file path in the Source field of the Image control properties window even though you've only originally set it to just the filename. Maybe a logical way of doing things, but confusing none the less !! Thanks again, Bob...

Maybe a logical way of doing things, but confusing none the less !! Basically, Rev assumes the defaultfolder is the location since you supplied less than a full path, Rev does a check to see if there is a workable file and uses it, therefore the full path. What would happen if you changed the defaultfolder in another script but still wanted Rev to know where your original image file was? Tip: you can drag the lower right corner of the inspector palette to the right and make it as wide as the monitor. This lets you see the whole path.

You'll find more info on this at: http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2002/tn2065.html HTH sims --- Q: How do I get administrator privileges for a command? A: Use the administrator privileges, user name and password parameters like this: do shell script command user name me password mypassword with administrator privileges user name and password are optional; if you omit the user name, do shell script assumes it to be the current user; if you omit the password, it will ask for a password when it runs. Once a script is correctly authenticated, it will not ask for authentication again for five minutes. As of Mac OS X 10.4, this grace period does not extend to any other scripts or to the rest of the system; manually calling sudo -k is unnecessary. For security reasons, you may not tell another application to do shell script with administrator privileges. Put the command outside of any tell block, or put it inside a tell me block. Bear in mind that administrator privileges allow you to change any file anywhere in the system. You can render your system unbootable or even erase the entire disk with a few well-placed commands, so exercise caution. Better yet, don't use administrator privileges unless you absolutely have to. Unless you are doing system-level development, you should never need to change anything in /System - changing /Library should suffice. Note: Using sudo(8) with with administrator privileges is generally unnecessary and creates security holes; simply remove the sudo. WARNING: In Mac OS X 10.4.0 and 10.4.1, with administrator privileges executes the command with only the effective user id set to root. This causes trouble for some commands that rely on the real user id - for example, Perl will turn on its taint mode security checks, and sudo(8) will hang. To work around the problem (assuming you cannot simply remove a use of sudo; see above), preface your command with a small Perl script to set the real user id, like this: do shell script /usr/bin/perl -Ue '$ = $; system(@ARGV)' my_command with administrator privileges Mac OS X 10.4.2 sets both the real and effective user ids; the workaround described here will be unnecessary, but harmless. WARNING: Prior to Mac OS X 10.4, with administrator privileges did not work correctly with multiple commands. You had to turn your multiple commands into a single invocation of sh, like this: set normal_command to command1; command2 do shell script sh -c quoted form of normal_command with administrator privileges As of Mac OS X 10.4, you can use with administrator privileges with multiple commands as described in how can I use more than one command above; no workaround is necessary. ___ 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: Common writable folders
Chris Sheffield wrote: I've got another question about using this. Hope you don't mind. Is there anyway to suppress the dialog if it has already displayed once in a session? I realize there's a timeout thing with sudo that eventually expires (my Unix knowledge is limited), and at that point a new dialog would have to appear anyway. While I was reading Apple's web page, I think I stumbled on the answer to this. Bascially, every line of a shell command starts a new shell (which won't contain any state variables, and will therefore force the dialog to appear again.) To force it to execute in the same shell and retain the admin privileges, you separate commands with semicolons, like this: do shell script command1;command2. If your Rev script has to use Rev commands in between shell commands, I don't see any way to avoid two admin dialogs because you will have to call shell twice. But then, I wasn't doing so well with my other question either so maybe someone else knows. If you could get the user and password back from the admin dialog, you could issue the second shell command by supplying the user and password to the applescript line. But I don't know how to do that. When I ask for the result, I only get back empty if it was successful. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.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: Decode xml-data of mac-adressbook
on Mac OSX I try to get the contents of the adressbook; for each adress there is a xml-file in /Users//Library/Caches/ com.apple.AdressBook/Metadata. The xml-file starts with ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? My adresses are german ones, so there are umlauts like ŠšŸ... If in the adressbook the city is HŸrth and I read the file contents by put url(file:/ xmlfilename) into tdata, I get Hürth instead. As I don«t know enough about encoding, may you give me a tip, what to do to get the right chars? Thank you. Richard. Hi Richard, You'll have to use the 'uniEncode' and 'uniDecode' functions to convert it from UTF-8 to UTF-16 and then back to 1-byte characters. Here's a link to a post by Mark Waddingham: http://mail.runrev.com/pipermail/use-revolution/2006-January/074653.html This certainly helped for reading XML data correctly but I can't figure out how to write it back out to an XML file once it contains accented characters. I've tried numerous combinations of uniEncde, uniDecode, macToIso etc and I either lose the accented characters completely or they become something else or the file is empty or it doesn't read properly. Does anyone know how to write accented chars into an XML text file? I use the revXMLText() function to get the XML tree as text then save it to a file.

small lesson in using database wanted
Hi, I need a small lesson in using database: 1. I created a db (using SQLite3) with several fields. One of them is a boolean field. It is corresponding to a checkbox button in the card of my stack. Only one record of the database is displayed on the card. 2. I built a query that selects some of the records of my db and sorts them by some fields. 3. With a forward and backward button revdb_movenext(recordSetID) and revdb_moveprev(recordSetID) I navigate through the records of the recordSet. 4. With a script set the hilite of btn checkbox to revdb_columnbynumber(recordSetID,5) I display the database fields of the actual record in the fields of my card. 5. Then I wrote a script for the checkbox button revdb_execute (recordSetID,tSQL) with tSQL like: UPDATE my_db SET checkbox = true and so on. I tested it with the SQLite Database Browser: the changes have been saved. 6. When I use my forward and backward button, to switch to the next record and then back to the changed record I do not see the change in my field or in my special case, the checkbox is not hilited. 7. When I close the current cursor (recordSet) and make a new query the checkbox is hilited. I learned that the UPDATE-script changes the database but it do not change the cursor (recordSet). But the forward/backward button do not display the content of the database but the content of the current cursor (recordSet). - How can I get the content of the database? - Do I have to make a new query after every change of fields? - Or is it better to use the revdb_query funktion only to get a sorted list of primary keys of the wanted records and to use the revdb_querylist funktion to display the content of the db fields on the card?

The question if and how it is possible to scroll the group with the scroll wheel? Yes it is. You need to find out what key codes your scroll wheel sends to the rawKeyUp or rawKeyDown handlers, then use them to set the scroll of your group. I can't remember what the codes are, but if you write a fake rawKeyDown handler, you can get it to put the codes it is receiving and find out what they are.

Sarah, you're right that it would be accessible through AppleScript, but I believe the question was if it was possible or not. Touch-Tone dialing via speaker is definitely possible and you could probably do it in a few minutes. Modem dialing, however, is a different story. Revolution does have full driver support, so I'd assume that you could, but I don't know where you'd begin in sending touch-tone messages across the modem.

SoCal RUG mtg Monday, 12 Feb
The SoCal Revolution User Group will be having a meeting on Monday, 12 February, at 7PM at the Fourth World Embassy in downtown Los Angeles. We have an exciting lineup based around a theme: Collaboration 7PM: Richard Herz of UC San Diego will introduce a work-in-progress - a dynamic process simulator (e.g., water flowing in pipes between tanks) in which process units (e.g., tanks) can be distributed over the Internet to allow team collaboration. 8PM: Dinner at Barbara's, the restaurant here in the complex. 9PM: Josh Mellicker of DV Creators will present a mysterious technology called Green Bongo. He's come a long way since our last meeting -- I got a preview tour of Green Bongo last week and it's quite a treat. The meeting will officially adjourn at around 10PM, but any hardy souls who like can stay late for a game of Extreme Shuffleboard (be forewarned: Ken Ray will be in town and I have reason to believe he cheats g). All are welcome to attend. Please RSVP by sending me an email so I can make sure to have enough dessert on hand. If you need directions to the Embassy just drop me a note and I'll send the details.
