AW: strage things happening with Rev cgi 2.5
JB, I have made once the experience of a corrupted script or object. When compiling the script it gave me always an error, where definatly no error was. My solution was to copy the script into a txt file, delete the object with its script, create a new object and paste the script again into the new object. Now the same script was compiled without any error. My two cents Tiemo -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:use-revolution- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von jbv Gesendet: Sonntag, 4. März 2007 23:56 An: How to use Revolution Betreff: strage things happening with Rev cgi 2.5 I think I have already posted on this topic a few weeks ago, but didn't get any reply. I have a Rev cgi script that runs fine on a Linux RH server. the script is about 400 lines long. In that script, I have a couple of lines that creates a path file in a directory on the server, opens the file, writes the content of a couple of variables in it and then closes the file. something very simple that I'm using for debugging. When my script is OK, I comment those few lines (with -- at the beginning of each line) because I don't need them anymore. And right after that I get a systematic error 500 when running the script. If I uncomment the same lines, the script runs fine again. If I delete those lines, error 500 again... I'm puzzled because I have plenty of other comments in the same script, that have no effect on it... This problem seems to happen now and then on some scripts only... Any idea ?

Re: Pendingmessages
Richard, We discovered that the pending messages were the source of our file transferring problem. I don't know what the doc's say or when these messages are supposed to be sent, but I do know they greatly effected our file transferring routine, interrupting it at seemingly random times. When we paused them (using a variation on Key Ray's suggestion), the transfer process began working reliably. Perhaps this is a fault in the pending messages system that should be looked into.

Potential disaster for Rev/Linux pendrive apps
I have already reported this bug to Ubuntu and also informed Rev (Kevin) about it, so this thread is just for the record or for your participation. Here is the original text of my report: - In previous versions of Ubuntu, Runtime Revolution programs can be run directly from a pendrive by double-clicking on their icon. In Feisty Fawn Flight 4, this does not happen. Instead, the following message is given: Cannot open /media/KINGSTON/revapp No application suitable for automatic installation is available for handling this kind of file If it is a bug, I hope to see it fixed. If it is a new feature, I don't want it. Runtime Revolution apps can still be run in this manner from the Desktop, and I see no reason why they should not run in a similar manner directly from a common pendrive. - By mistake, I referred to Flight 4 when in fact it should now be Herd. They both mean Beta. So far, Ubuntu have only asked me to supply a Rev standalone app for testing, which I have done. There are no further reports yet. If you would like to follow, or participate in, the progress of this bug (which I sincerely hope is not supposed to be an intended feature), navigate to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/88229 You might also like to note how simple and client-friendly their bug reporting system is...

Re: Delete an Array Entry?
Hi All, This is the type of thing where threads tend to go south here: Whoever wrote the documentation didn't understand how Arrays in RunRev work. That would be hard to believe. Jeanne DeVoto, who wrote most of the documentation, is one of the foremost documentation experts on xtalk scripting, starting with HyperCard, where she was one of the authors of the definitive reference book for that program. She has been working with the language for 20 years, and I'm certain she understands how arrays work in Revolution. But if you haven't worked much with associative arrays, I can see how it could be confusing. Well he should have known better then! First, Jeanne is a woman. Just a typing error, didn't meant to imply otherwise. Second, that a mistake is made in any product's documentation does not necessarily mean the author doesn't understand the concepts involved, nor does finding such a mistake mean the author is fair game for insults. There were no insults made and are you 100% sure that Jeanne *did* write that particular piece of documentation? I'll be perfectly honest with you: the Rev documentation contains some errors and omissions. And I hope you're sitting down for this next one, as it may shock your very core: Nearly all software products (certainly all that I've seen in 20+ years) have errors and omissions in their documentation. Agree, have never said otherwise. Sorry to have to break it to you, but the sooner you accept the complexity of shipping software products, the sooner you'll be able to deal with your own customers more effectively when they find errors and omissions in your product documentation. I hope they report them to you in a way that doesn't insult your experience, since that would be as unnecessary as it is unproductive. I am very effective in dealing with my own customers. If there are problems I fix them quickly and don't leave things like this hanging around for years. I have never insulted anyone's experience and I hope you don't think that I do or have. I don't know how many thousands of pages of documentation you've written, and I'll admit I've written fewer than 10,000 pages over my career thus far. But through those modest efforts I've come to appreciate the difficulty of the task, and -- as with code -- I've come to accept that in this imperfect world products will be imperfect. I've no idea how many I have written. At a guess I'd say 10,000 or so like yourself. I've been programming since 1978 I think. Fortunately with software, unlike cars and space shuttles, we get a second chance. Commercial software is almost always delivered in a series of versions, and each new version offers an opportunity to address errors and omissions found in the last one. This hasn't been the case in RunRev, especially in the IDE and documentation. I have reported loads of things and none of them have been changed or updated in over 3 years. I've now reported this one. Anyone care to to bet me some money that it will get fixed any time soon? So yes, you've found something in the docs which is technically in most cases an error. Good job. Your diligence is appreciated. Thank you. One thing on this list is that when you do mention something like this, a few people immediately jump to the defensive as if the person doing the mentioning is attacking their baby or kid sister and make all kinds of excuses or come up with all kinds of reasons why what the mentioner has mentioned is somehow incorrect or point to other places in the documentation where what has been mentioned incorrectly is mentioned there correctly as if this somehow justifies or makes lessens the original problem. And now that I've submitted your request for you, and now that you understand that Rev's are associative arrays and how associative arrays work, may we get back on a productive track to address specifically how these arrays are causing a problem in your work? I understood them perfectly before I looked up delete. The documentation then threw me for a bit since it was incorrect. There are a lot of people here who try to be helpful. For example, I've shown you twice now how the syntax for working with associative arrays in Rev is largely identical to how one might use numeric arrays, and how you can use the unrestricted types of keys in associative arrays for a broader range of solutions beyond what numeric arrays can support. I understood that before. My point was that the documentation was incorrect and led me to think that the use of a numeric key (17) was a special case whereby it turned it back into a normally index type array. Which was not the case. I'm confident that if you can share with us the specific problem you're facing with using associative arrays, some of the folks here can help you solve that problem. I do not have a specific problem with arrays in RunRev. The

Hi Luis, Yes, I'm on MacOS X. I looked at doing that, but it seems like a lot of work and it is fairly fancy and so would need pages and I can't guarantee that they will have this on their system. If I can't use the Quartum library or something like it then I'll probably write my own External Command Module that uses the Apple PDF Development Kit, (you never know I might even be able to sell it separately!!).

Re: How to create PDF files? Part II
Hi, Basically I need the following: Page 1 - Title Page has 2 Images at top left and top right of the page, then a list of statistics about the movie file that has been analyzed. Page 2 to End, has two (html like) tables side by side with 6 columns across. The first 5 contain Text data, the 6th contains a small image. e.g. Time Code RED SPAT LUMX 00:00:01:00 0.00.0 0.3 2.1 IMAGE 00:00:01:01 0.00.0 0.4 2.1 M 00:00:01:01 0.00.0 0.4 2.1 A 00:00:01:01 0.00.0 0.4 2.1 G 00:00:01:01 0.00.0 0.4 2.1 E The data is basically the time code of the movie and data about that section, the image is a thumbnail of the frame in the movie and covers all 5 vertical entries. I'm not sure if I can do this just using native RunRev and the tools mentioned so far can do this and I don't want to waste time finding out. I looked at the Quartum Library and I reasonably sure it could do it, so it's worth a try.

However, whether or not Jeanne wrote it or not and whether she should have known better or not and whether she is incompetent or not is beside the point (not that I think she is).

Would that help your situation? I haven't quite grasped Richard's problem of the pendingMessages. But I doubt it would make a difference whether using blocking or non- blocking url routines. The so-called blocking routines are only script-blocking. i.e. they block the currently executing handler, but will allow other asynchronous activity. (For example, clicking on an active button during a download, or presumably executing anything put on the pendingMessages queue before the blocking routine was called.) Generally, anything on the pendingMessages queue will execute during an FTP file transfer, if it's due to be run at that time. Depending on the message, it might interfere with the transfer. For example, a long repeat that exceeds the socketTimeout interval.

Is there a way to have the contents of a field on a card change when a global variable (in this case an array variable) is changed? I have a multiple card application that I'm converting from Tcl. One of the things I like about Tcl is that a field has a parameter called -textvariable) that points to a location that holds the contents to be displayed in that field. If you change the contents of the field, what you are really changing is the global variable and vis-versa. This allows me to put a field on several cards (in different locations on each card) and when I read a new record, I just put the results into a global array. I'd like to try and do the same thing in Rev if it's possible. I'd like to avoid writing a script in the readrecord function that has to know the names of every field on every card that needs to show that information, and then looping through and setting the text of each of those fields to the contents of the global variable. This seems like it would be very hard to maintain system.

Re: Potential disaster for Rev/Linux pendrive apps

Also, it sounds like you are using each card to be a different layout for the user benefit. If this is the case, then.. There are ways of doing the task you outline very efficiently, but not using the same simple mode of Tc1, which is similar to several Excel formulas linking one value to may locations. First part - You can use a single global for each value, but better to use a list format for all of your record fields. My preference would be to read the data record into an array variable, set the customproperties of this stack to that array variable. (see why below) The basic handlers you would write to make updating automatic are in the stack script: on populateAllRecordFlds put the customproperties of this stack into tempList combine tempList using cr and tab --now you have a table of property names and values --eg. (where ^ is the tab char) --rcdTime^2:49 PM --rcdDate^2/20/07 --rcdDescription^Last update session --rcdTitle^Planning Meeting Notes --updateTimeStamp^11223441232 filter tempList with rcd* --now you only have the values --you care to update replace rcd with empty in tempList set the itemdel to tab repeat for every line LNN in tempList --LNN is a var that contains the entire line put item 1 of LNN into fldName do put item 2 of LNN into fld fldName end repeat end populateAllRecordFlds --then you can on opencard --for this card only populateAllRecordFlds end opencard on retrieveRecord --do the retrieve stuff here populateAllRecordFlds end retrieveRecord on closefield --update Array end closefield My preferred method would be to use a stack custom property since globals are actually global to the Rev environ, not just the stack. The same global name used by any other stack would declare and update the same global.

Database query fields
Hi I know how to manually set database properties ( cRevGeneral[databaseQueryObject] ) using the property inspector But I would like to go through about thirty fields with a script and set the name of the Linkcolumn to the same as the fld name Set the queryobject to bgnd Connect And set the update after editing to true. From the name of the property it looks like I am changing values in an array. Can someone send me some simple script suggestions for this?

Hi Richard, I'm using an open-source tool PDFCreator, which works very nicely once you know how to use it. It can also serve as a printer server for Mac OS X while running on Windows and can run from the command line while it also has a complete GIU (for converting files and monitoring progress, not for composing PDFs). It can also e-mail the resulting file or save it to a particular folder. See http:// www.pdfforge.org/products/pdfcreator for more info.

Odd issue with compress
I've come up against a bit of an odd problem... I'm doing some data modelling that requires me to create long encoded strings using the md5digest function - by long I mean tens of thousands of characters long. I then do a comparison of the strings using a distance metric based on the individual and combined lengths of the strings after they have been compressed using Rev's compress function. This all seems to work nicely until the combined length of the strings exceeds 65000 characters whereupon the compression fails. By fails, I mean that if I concatenate two identical encoded strings of 32400 characters and compress them I get a compressed length of a bit over 32400 but if the strings are 32500 each the compressed length is a bit over 65000. I've tried doing this with non-encoded strings and it seems to work fine so I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact the the individual encoded strings have very little internal redundancy (if that makes sense). Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this 'problem'?

Re: Code like a girl...
Mark, you know, I do think like that too. My little list function, a silly function I built out of necessity is the very best and most elegant function I ever wrote. function list local tList repeat with x = 1 to paramcount() put param(x) cr after tList end repeat delete char -1 of tList return tList end list It does a simple thing, it picks an arbitrary number of parameters and return them as a cr delimited list, very good for looping things such as years. I don't know if that classifies as girl code but I think that function is at least cute. sometimes I read code by some luminaries here on the list that look so fine that I want to print them and stack them on my wall... I actually did that once with some scheme code which was the only time I understood what call/cc did.
