Dimensional Arrays

2007-03-14 Thread Nic Prioleau

I appologise in advance for what may seem like simple programming logic to 
some, but I'm not really a programmer and I've been staring at this problem 
for 5 hours now and can't seem to figure it out. I have 3 multi-dimensional 
arrays which I need to get grouped information out of:-


tArray1[Data,1,regNo] = B123ABC
tArray1[Data,1,tLitres] = 500
tArray1[Data,1,month] = 2
tArray1[Data,2,regNo] = B123ABC
tArray1[Data,2,tLitres] = 300
tArray1[Data,2,month] = 3
tArray1[Data,3,regNo] = B456ABC
tArray1[Data,3,tLitres] = 200
tArray1[Data,3,month] = 4

tArray2[Data,1,regNo] = B123ABC
tArray2[Data,1,tLitres] = 1000
tArray2[Data,1,tKM] = 2500
tArray2[Data,1,month] = 2
tArray2[Data,2,regNo] = B123ABC
tArray2[Data,2,tLitres] = 150
tArray2[Data,2,tKM] = 3000
tArray2[Data,2,month] = 3
tArray2[Data,3,regNo] = B456ABC
tArray2[Data,3,tLitres] = 150
tArray2[Data,3,tKM] = 3000
tArray2[Data,3,month] = 4

AND
tArray3[Data,1,regNo] = B123ABC
tArray3[Data,1,tLitres] = 350
tArray3[Data,1,tKM] = 800
tArray3[Data,1,month] = 2
tArray3[Data,2,regNo] = B123ABC
tArray3[Data,2,tLitres] = 250
tArray3[Data,2,tKM] = 600
tArray3[Data,2,month] = 3
tArray3[Data,3,regNo] = B456ABC
tArray3[Data,3,tLitres] = 250
tArray3[Data,3,tKM] = 100
tArray3[Data,3,month] = 4

what I need to end up with is data from these 3 arrays which will end up 
looking something like this:


regNo B123ABC used 1850Ltrs and did 3300 km in month 2
regNo B123ABC used 700Ltrs and did 3600 km in month 3
regNo B456ABC used 500Ltrs and did 3100 km in month 4

Can anyone explain how I might be able to do this. I basically got the info 
by doing 3 'grouped' select statements from 3 different tables. This info 
gets stored in the arrays above but when it comes time to writing a report 
or doing calculations, I need to add them all up. It's probably staring me 
in the face but I have 'arc eye' from staring at the screen for so long!


Mighty appreciative!

Re: 2 dimensional Arrays

2007-03-14 Thread Dave


Hi,

The problem is that arrays in RunRev are not arrays in the same  
sense as in languages like C/C++ or Pascal etc. They are really look  
up tables. In RunRev instead of passing an index (or indexes) to  
retrieve the data for an entry you pass a key. You can fake the way  
Arrays work in languages like C/C++ etc, by passing key values such  
as 1,5, but this is actually passing a three character key of 1  
, 2.


I've found that if you are using the key section in a non-trivial way  
(like in the 2D array example) it's better to use a function that  
returns your munged key for you, e.g. something like this:


function Get2DArrayKey theIndex1,theIndex2

return theIndex1  ,  theIndex2
end

and to use:

put  into my2DArray[Get2DArrayKey(1,5) ]

or

put  my2DArray[Get2DArrayKey(1,5)] into myValue


If you *ALWAYS* use this function, you will always get consistent  
keys, otherwise you may have the problem you described where it's  
starts to get confusing because of extra quote characters, etc.


Hope this Helps
Dave

Thanks for that, the site made rev's arrays a little more  
understandable.


the method you sent me didn't seem to work but I managed to hack  
together some code that works:

put character 2 to the length of leftVar - 1 of leftVar into L
put character 2 to the length of rightVar - 1 of rightVar into R
answer myArray[L,R]

This just strips away the quotation marks from leftVar and rightVar  
which after seeing that I site I realized to be the problem

Hi Otto,

Rev doesn't support 2 dimensional arrays, so you have to kind of  
fake them. That can be done by naming the keys the way you do. But  
if you want to get the value of a specific  key, you should use:

myArray[x  comma  y]
instead of
myArray[x,y]

Hope this helps.

I have a two dimensional array in my program and I am having some  
trouble

getting values to come out of it.

The array is keyed in both dimentions by entries such as  
s1,s1 s1,s2
etc. (the quotes are included in the key for various reasons but  
they could

potentially be removed)

the values in the array are either empty or 1

if I call for a value using something like:
answer myArray[s1,s2]
I will get the value returned to me but if I try to use variables  
it doesnt

work right.
If I have a variable leftVar that contains s1 and rightVar that  
contains

s2 (both with quotes) and I say
answer myArray[leftVar,rightVar]
I get returned an empty message.

I dont seem to have this problem when calling a single dimension  
array, only

in my 2-dimension one.

strange code problem

2007-03-14 Thread Nic Prioleau

Can anyone tell me why the code in red will work if I Step through it but as 
soon as I let it run normally I will get blank results??
It seems to skip the second repeat but if I put an answer msg in it, it 
reaches the answer msg!

put truckRegNo,totalFuel,totalKM,month into tHeadings
  split tHeadings with comma
  put 1,2,3,4 into tColumns
  split tColumns with comma
  put the number of lines in thisOne into sRecordCount -- thisOne is a 
variable which contains comma seperated values like:- B456ADF,1000,2500,2
  put 0 into x
  answer thisOne
  repeat for each line thisLine in thisOne
split thisLine with comma
--answer x
add 1 to x
repeat for each element thisE in tColumns
  put tHeadings[thisE] into tHeader
  put thisLine[thisE] into tDetail[x,tHeader]
  --answer sColumn[thisLine,tHeader]
end repeat
 end repeat

Import snapshot would give you an image of the current frame.
Depending on the capabilities of your QuickTime thingy you might be  
able to pass the imagedata of that image directly to it.

Or,
export snapshot to create a numbered series of JPEGs which is then  
post-processed by your QuickTime thingy into a movie.


I've uploaded a demo stack to RevOnline (user: Ian Wood) showing the  
old and new syntaxes for exporting from areas and objects, in  
sequential manner.


Your external sounds interesting, I've been messing around with  
Trevor DeVore's QT external to do something similar but it required a  
few hacks and is a bit unstable because of that.

 Hi there,
 
 While I understand this may be heresy, how does Revolution stack up 
 to RealBasic, especially when it comes to thinks like richness of the 
 interface (such as hierarchical Listboxs)?

It's not heresy, it's a reasonable question. :-) 

However it's a question that could take a long time to answer, 
depending on how specific you want a comparison. They both have their 
strengths and weaknesses, and at one time a member of this list (Geoff 
Canyon) wrote up a comparison between the two, but this was several 
versions ago for both products, so only a portion of that treatise  is 
relevant anymore.

However, my opinion is that in relation to the richness of the 
interface, it's a tie. RealBasic has more built in interface objects 
than Rev, but Rev has more control over its interface objects than 
RealBasic. So in my opinion for this specific issue, it's a toss-up. Of 
course you can create your own custom objects in both programs to fill 
any gaps.

But the power of Revolution isn't centered in the expansiveness of its 
built-in controls; it's in the language itself. If you are interested, 
I wrote an unpublished paper that walked through the RealBasic tutorial 
document, examined it, and compared it with how you'd do things in 
Revolution. As an overview, in about 80% of the code comparisons, 
Revolution took less lines of code to accomplish the same task than did 
RealBasic. If you're interested in having a look, contact me offlist.

There is (obviously) a lot more to compare the two products, but 
hopefully this will help get you started...

Launching the Calculator

2007-03-14 Thread Mark Greenberg

Two students of mine are building a stack to give learners some  
practice with the concepts of mean, median, mode, quartiles, and  
range.  They asked me whether they could have a button in their stack  
that launches the calculator that comes with windows (chiefly so the  
students can add and divide for mean).  So I'm asking the list  
members.  Keep in mind that these students have less than 2 hours so  
far of programming experience whatsoever, so shell commands and  
externals would be too much for them.  They are working on Windows XP  
to compile for Windows.


An alternative would be for them to create their own calculator  
within the stack or as a substack.  They only have three weeks to  
finish this project, so I was hoping to avoid that rout.


Thanks in advance,

Sort of - you can force a refresh to a browser window that is

Check the launch command, that should do the trick.

launch C:/omplete/path/to the app to be launched/ here.exe

Remember to provide the complete filepath in REV (UNIX) notation with

However if for some reason the main Windows folder was renamed (some

This should work:

Unless you've renamed your System Root directory, so just rename
'WINDOWS to whatever your System Root is.

I can't really tell because it's not apparent whether this code is launched
within a Function Handler or a mouseUp handler, but I notice that inside the
second repeat loops your variables are prefixed with a 't' which normally
means they are temporary. If this was inside a mouseUp handler everything
would disappear on completion.

If you 'step' past your answer msg, and keep stepping until the very end, ie
past your 'end mouseUp' handler or whatever, does everything disappear?

No problem, although the structure of the arrays you have is a little 
odd (although it works fine). That is, if the key of an array has 
multiple quoted strings in it, it collapses to a single quoted 
string. For example:

   tArray3[Data,3,month]=4

is the same as:

   tArray3[Data,3,month]=4

Honestly, I didn't know you could have multiple quoted strings in a key 
and have it work (learn something new every day!). However to grab your 
data you could do this:

-- If you have a fixed set of 3 arrays which have the same keys:
put B123ABC into tRegNo
put 2 into tMonth
put  into tReport
repeat for each line tKey in (the keys of tArray1)
  if item 3 of tKey is month then
put tArray1[tKey] into tMonth
put item 2 of tKey into tRecNo  -- this is the record number (I'm 
assuming)
put tArray1[Data,  tRecNo  ,regNo] into tRegNo

put tArray1[Data,  tRecNo  ,tKM] into tKM1
put tArray2[Data,  tRecNo  ,tKM] into tKM2
put tArray3[Data,  tRecNo  ,tKM] into tKM3
put tArray1[Data,  tRecNo  ,tLitres] into tLitres1
put tArray2[Data,  tRecNo  ,tLitres] into tLitres2
put tArray3[Data,  tRecNo  ,tLitres] into tLitres3
put regNo  quote  tRegNo  quote  used  \
   (tLitres1+tLitres2+tLitres3)  Ltrs and did  \
   (tKM1+tKM2+tKM3)  km in month  tMonth  \
   CR after tReport
end repeat
delete char -1 of tReport -- removes trailing CR
put tReport into field 1

Well, in my opinion straight out of the box they are about the same.  
If you are used to other more traditional programming languages like  
C/C++, Pascal or Basic then you will probably have a harder time  
getting your head around the way that RunRev works. This is made even  
harder since the documentation for RunRev isn't that good and because  
there are silly problems that can bite you.


However, once you get into RunRev and start developing your own way  
of doing things (for instance I have my own Message Manager and  
Application Framework), then RunRev *really* starts to pay off. You  
can get things done really quickly, I'd say probably 50% faster than  
in  RealBasic.


Hope this Helps.

All the Best
Dave

Hi there,

While I understand this may be heresy, how does Revolution stack up  
to RealBasic, especially when it comes to thinks like richness of  
the interface (such as hierarchical Listboxs)?

Re: Ideas and Suggestions on Generating Frames for a Movie

 I know how to do most of this. I have an external command module that 
 can generate QuickTime movies and I know how to  create rectangles 
 etc and move them around the frame. However I am not sure how to 
 render everything inside the frame, e.g. what I would like to be able 
 to do is it put the background pixels into a pixel buffer, then the 
 pixels of each object in the frame into a the same pixel buffer 
 (overwriting the background) and then pass this buffer to an external 
 command that would write one frame of the QuickTime movie. After 
 writing a frame, it would then change the colors of the objects, 
 perform any movement or size change and render out the next frame.

Well, there's a property called imagePixmapID that is *supposed* to 
provide the handle to pixMap in an image object; perhaps that can be 
used? I personally haven't used it, so I don't know if it works, but 
give it a shot...

Re: strange code problem

2007-03-14 Thread Phil Jimmieson

Can anyone tell me why the code in red will work if I Step through 
it but as soon as I let it run normally I will get blank results??
It seems to skip the second repeat but if I put an answer msg in 
it, it reaches the answer msg!


Hi Nic,
I don't think you're allowed to use split with a for eachvariable - 
you're not allowed to modify the contents of a for each variable 
yourself, and split effectively munges it into an array, which causes 
all sorts of weird problems. This has hit me before in my own code. 
Try the modified code below:




put truckRegNo,totalFuel,totalKM,month into tHeadings
  split tHeadings with comma
  put 1,2,3,4 into tColumns
  split tColumns with comma
  put the number of lines in thisOne into sRecordCount -- thisOne 
is a variable which contains comma seperated values like:- 
B456ADF,1000,2500,2

  put 0 into x
  answer thisOne
  repeat for each line thisLine in thisOne


put thisLine into workingline --use a copy of thisLine
 split workingline with comma


--answer x
add 1 to x
repeat for each element thisE in tColumns
  put tHeadings[thisE] into tHeader


 put workingline[thisE] into tDetail[x,tHeader]


  --answer sColumn[thisLine,tHeader]
end repeat
 end repeat

I still cannot figure out how to get copy and paste work between RunRev and

Is this not possible? Or is it a case of being an OSX focus issue, whcih can
be got round with some scripting? I'd like to be able to transfer text
generated in RunRev or copied from another application to a form shown in an

Re: Linux-specific technical problems

Well, for one, mount doesn't appear to be a valid command to

for the available options.


This is what I reported in my post on 18th February (see the Samba lessons 
needed thread):

In the Ubuntu terminal, the following works perfectly and I get a 
listing of my Windows drive:


smbclient john\\c mount
dir
(CTRL+Z exits Samba) - QUIT works too.

So if mount isn't a valid command, somebody had better tell smbclient!
Possibly, smbclient -? for the available options is out of date.

-
Secondly, I don't really think smbclient is something that you'd want
running as a process, unless you've got something really wild in mind.
I'm not an expert on this by any means, but my understanding is that
open process is for something you want running in the background, as
on a server, as a daemon for other processes to communicate with. If
you just want to grab a directory listing or file off an smb server
then try the shell() function instead.
-
No, all I want to do is to grab a directory listing off my smb server.

-
put smbclient john\\c -Wworkgroup -Uuser%password -cdir into \
procToDo
put shell(procToDo) into field test
-
Naturally, I tried SHELL first, but couldn't get it to work. Of course, 
the fact that I am almost entirely ignorant of how to do anything 
through the terminal probably doesn't help! (It smells too much like DOS 
for my taste.) Anyway, here goes with your suggested 
experiment.:

Hi Kev,

Thanks for your feedback however, I managed to get something like this:

regNo,totalFuel,totalKM,month
B456TRF,1000,0,2
B456TRF,150,0,3
B456TRF,0,376,3
B444AAA,50,0,3
B444AAA,340,3000,3
B444AAA,0,600,3

into a variable from my selects... Could you tell me how I can achieve the 
same result as I was trying to get before as I have now eliminated the other 
arrays I had. It was too messy and because they did not have the same keys, 
it was difficult to get an accurate result.


thanks muchly

Honestly, I didn't know you could have multiple quoted strings in a key
and have it work (learn something new every day!). However to grab your
data you could do this:

-- If you have a fixed set of 3 arrays which have the same keys:
put B123ABC into tRegNo
put 2 into tMonth
put  into tReport
repeat for each line tKey in (the keys of tArray1)
 if item 3 of tKey is month then
   put tArray1[tKey] into tMonth
   put item 2 of tKey into tRecNo  -- this is the record number (I'm
assuming)
   put tArray1[Data,  tRecNo  ,regNo] into tRegNo

   put tArray1[Data,  tRecNo  ,tKM] into tKM1
   put tArray2[Data,  tRecNo  ,tKM] into tKM2
   put tArray3[Data,  tRecNo  ,tKM] into tKM3
   put tArray1[Data,  tRecNo  ,tLitres] into tLitres1
   put tArray2[Data,  tRecNo  ,tLitres] into tLitres2
   put tArray3[Data,  tRecNo  ,tLitres] into tLitres3
   put regNo  quote  tRegNo  quote  used  \
  (tLitres1+tLitres2+tLitres3)  Ltrs and did  \
  (tKM1+tKM2+tKM3)  km in month  tMonth  \
  CR after tReport
end repeat
delete char -1 of tReport -- removes trailing CR
put tReport into field 1

Given that errors and omissions are common to nearly every product 
that's ever shipped, that's not surprising nor necessarily a bad mark 
against RB.  But neither has it prevented many folks from getting real 
work done in Rev.  All languages have pitfalls and gotchas, and when 
learning any new language nothing can help more than participating in a 
forum of its experienced users.


The productivity gain of 50% seems reasonable given the amount of 
platform-specific code one is asked to write in RB, the absence of chunk 
expressions, and the generally lower-level nature of the language (see 
Osterhout, http://www.tcl.tk/doc/scripting.html).

How are you printing? Are you printing the card using open printing,

Does the text in the field display correctly? (I told them I assumed so.)

What is the name of the font you are using?

Are you setting the unicodeText of the field or just putting the text in 
normally?


How is the printout corrupted? When you do a print job, in what way is 
it incorrect?

Re: 2 dimensional Arrays

2007-03-14 Thread Richard Gaskin


Dave wrote:
The problem is that arrays in RunRev are not arrays in the same

For the benefit of newcomers here, it may be worth noting that 
associative arrays are hardly an invention of Rev's:


http://www.google.com/search?q=associative+arrays

So while it's true that Rev's arrays are associative rather than 
numerically indexed (and a request has been submitted to make that more 
self-evident in the docs), it's not like Rev invented some novel form of 
array.  As the 800,000 hits at that link show, associative arrays are a 
common feature of a great many languages.


The upside of associative arrays is that the syntax for using them is 
pretty much identical to how one would expect to use a 
single-dimensional numeric array, while also allowing non-numeric keys.


The downside occurs in those cases where a multi-dimensional numeric 
array is desired, which your function addresses well:


In RunRev instead of passing an index (or indexes) to  
retrieve the data for an entry you pass a key. You can fake the way  
Arrays work in languages like C/C++ etc, by passing key values such  
as 1,5, but this is actually passing a three character key of 1  
, 2.


I've found that if you are using the key section in a non-trivial way  
(like in the 2D array example) it's better to use a function that  
returns your munged key for you, e.g. something like this:


function Get2DArrayKey theIndex1,theIndex2

return theIndex1  ,  theIndex2
end

and to use:

put  into my2DArray[Get2DArrayKey(1,5) ]

or

put  my2DArray[Get2DArrayKey(1,5)] into myValue


If you *ALWAYS* use this function, you will always get consistent  
keys, otherwise you may have the problem you described where it's  
starts to get confusing because of extra quote characters, etc.

Re: Linux-specific technical problems


Sorry to pollute the UR-List with tidbits of info - I'll stop now.

In Ubuntu, as I said, if you don't specify a password in the command

Password: at the beginning of the report:

---
Password:

 Arrows ico  D0  Thu Sep 21 18:40:06 2006
etc.
etc.

So now, I've been more ambitious and cut out the name of the network:

 put smbclient john\\c -cdir into procToDo
 put shell(procToDo) into field test

The result is the same as above. It works.

Re: Launching the Calculator

Marielle, Richmond, Klaus, Ken, and Luis,

Thanks for the quick and helpful solutions.  I will present these  
options to the students and let them decide.  I like the French  
calculator, but I think the students will go for the Lauch command if  
they can get it to work.  (They are working under several layers of  
security and don't have Windows permissions to do much.)  Richmond, I  
was not able to get to your calculator because the files link is  
only available to members of that yahoo group.


Thanks again. This list is great!

Re: Linux questions for Jacque

Thanks Jacque, please see my answers below.

Bob Warren wrote:

1. In Rev Linux 2.6.1, can foreign symbols (with accents) be printed on
the printer or not?

--
I asked about this. It raised more questions. In general, there
shouldn't be any problem. Portuguese is a standard western Linux font
and it should print correctly. If you are having trouble, they'd need to
know:

How are you printing? Are you printing the card using open printing,
print, close printing, or are you using revPrintField or revPrintText?

-
I am printing a card as in the following example:

on mouseUp
--set the printCommand to lp %s --(Prints to default printer over network in Ubuntu)
set the printCommand to mv %s /home/bob/Desktop/output_print_file.ps -- puts output in a file

open printing
print card Card1
close printing
end mouseUp

When there are no Portuguese symbols in the fields on this card, both methods (printing
directly to the printer or producing a Postscript file) work OK. Also, if I double-click
on the Postscript file, the program Evince displays the image of the card
correctly in Ubuntu.

However, if the fields on my card DO contain Portuguese symbols, neither method of printing works
sucessfully. If I double-click on the Postscript file, Evince cannot display it. (It
just shows the message Loading and just continues trying forever.)

Does the text in the field display correctly? (I told them I assumed so.)

--
Yes, it does.
But please note that I cannot type any text with accents into my card's fields
in Rev. I have to paste it from another source.
I am using an Ubuntu that has been installed in English. To type letters with
accents, I need to use a special keyboard sequence. This does of course work
fine in programs other than Rev.
--

What is the name of the font you are using?

--
I was originally using the Arial font in my fields, since the stack was
imported from Windows. But now I am using a simple test program, and making
changes to see what happens. I have tried not specifying a font at all for the
single field and 2 buttons in my test program (i.e. the default font is
presumed). I have just tried defining the font as Courier for these 3 controls.
The result is always the same. If there are only English characters in the
field, Evince displays the image of the Postscript file. If I paste characters
with accents into the field, Evince can no longer display the image of the
Postscript file.
--

Are you setting the unicodeText of the field or just putting the text in

normally?

I am just putting the text in normally. After reading the Help, I tried playing
around with unicodeText, but since I don't really know anything about the
subject, I gave up. Nothing worked.
--

How is the printout corrupted? When you do a print job, in what way is

it incorrect?

--
I don't get a printout unless I use English characters only. Then, it's
perfect. I can print directly to the printer on paper, and I can produce a
Postscript file which displays perfectly in the Evince program and can be
printed afterwards.

If I include characters with accents in the field of my test program, nothing
doing. The printer just sits there like an idiot, and the Evince program goes
around in circles, failing to display the Postscript file.

Windows Vista Free!

2007-03-14 Thread Richmond Mathewson

Gosh! Wow! Jolly-Hockey-Sticks!

And, Windows Vista comes with lots of hidden extras
that crop up just when you need them; they're called
Viruses, Torojans, Malware and Spyware.

For some 'funny' reason none of my Pentium IIIs 700
MHz warhorses can cope with Windows Vista - and,
oddly enough, that doesn't matter because they do a
wonderful job running Ubuntu.

Guess I'll just stick with my Dear old (i.e. 4
years) G4 Dual Mirror Door Wind-Tunnel (Hey, now
that's a groovy moniker for a computer), the PPC
Mac-Mini (I had to move quickly!) and the warhorses -
minimal maintenance both in terms of time and money.
When Apple stop support for PPC I will, either
continue with the last PPC version of the Mac OS or
swap over to a PPC version of Linux.

Here, in Bulgaria, folks are either sticking with
their pirate versions of Win 98, 2000, 2003 or XP, or
(when the police start breathing down their necks)
stumping up the $$$ for a legal version fo XP. Nobody,
but nobody, has the money to buy a PC capable of
coping with the high demands of Vista. A very few have
changed over to Linux; no doubt more will.

Please do not think I am belittling Runtime Revolution
(the company); but I am belittling the baby that spent
far too long in the womb and now suffers from all the
faults of its ancestors, plus a few more.

Certainly, were I the owner of an Intel Mac (which I
suppose I will become one of these days - not for a
while though) I would be interested in the Parallels
offer. As it is at the moment I am fairly well off
with the last Connectix version of Virtual PC running
Win98.

I believe that PARALLELS WILL NOT RUN VISTA although I
would not swear to it.

While I'm on a rant I will sound off about N***le
breakfast cereals:

The other day I bought a box of 'chocolate balls' (I
can't remember what they are called) that my children
eat to guarantee hyper-activity, and noticed it came
with a CD computer-game which would only function on
Windows (3 hours later, puffing and blowing, I got it
running on WINE!) Luckily my children are as daft as
their father so did not start the inevitable I wanna
Windows box whine - but the manipulative intent of
this kind of freebie is clear to anybody but the
Epsilon semi-morons.

Its been a long day and its my time of the month

Of course, when she uses any program other than Rev (Word, Text Editor),

That's great, thanks.  I will take me a bit to wrap my brain around this but
my understanding is then that you use a rev script to activate the VBS

Would it also return the names/titles of the open pages?

 Is this not possible? Or is it a case of being an OSX focus issue, whcih can
 be got round with some scripting? I'd like to be able to transfer text
 generated in RunRev or copied from another application to a form shown in an
 altBrowser window. No go or am I missing something?

David - looks to me like this just doesn't work on OSX (works just fine
under Windows). You might be able to come up with some sort of horrible hack
that involves one or other of the altBrowser callbacks (e.g. XBrowser_click
elementID,browserID) and setting the htmlText of the browser directly but it
won't be much fun to either implement or use.

If I paste Portuguese text into the test field, it displays perfectly, 
but when trying to print, the result is the same as on my computer.


This sounds suspiciously like a unicode issue to me. What does the 
message box tell you if you type:


  put the textfont of fld whatever

If the text isn't all one font, you should see mixed. When you paste 
unicode text into a field, the textfont will change to a unicode font 
for the pasted chunk. If you can calculate it, try getting the text 
offsets for a pasted chunk and ask the message box this:


 the textfont of char x to y of fld whatever

What do you get back? Is it just something like Ariel or is two words 
separated by a comma?

Putting mixed text into a field (Japanese + English)

2007-03-14 Thread Peter T. Evensen

I was having trouble putting mixed text into a field, that is, a string of 
Japanese text followed by a string of regular 8-bit text.


It works if I copy and paste, but if I use put, it either loses the 
Japanese script or converts the 8-bit into Kanji.


I tried uniEncode and setting the unicodeText of the field, and that didn't 
work.


Any suggestions?

I wound up doing a copy and paste, which isn't the optimal, but it works.

Thanks!

PNG format: 8-bit or 24?

2007-03-14 Thread Chipp Walters


I seem to remember going around this awhile back and thought someone might
remember if there is a solution.

If I create a grayscale (or any image) and it has fewer than 257 colors in
it (by default grayscale images do), is there a way I can force the export
image command to save it as 24-bit and not 8-bit? For some reason, the
export image uses 8-bit when exporting images with fewer than 257 colors,
and 24-bit for images greater than 256.

Anyone have a header rewrite or other hack to force the save in 24?

TIA,
Chipp

getting cgi running on linux server

2007-03-14 Thread Robert Mann

I am trying to get cgi's working on my web server

I created the hello.cgi from Jacque's article using metapad which allows me
to set the correct line endings for unix. 

Jacque sent me a link to download the linux engine I then used winzip to
extract I only got one file so I tried powerarchiver and that also gave me
one file should I be getting more than one file from the
http://downloads.runrev.com/revolution/distributions/2.5.1/linux.tgz

I put this file in the cgi-bin changed the permissions but I still get a 500
error

I am working on a windows xp machine locally

 

Anyone have any ideas as to shat I need to do to get this working?

Hi Bob,
OK, your PS file does have accented characters in it. It appears they are just 
in the wrong place. This code that I will paste in here is something I use 
when I have to re-encode a Macintosh font to work on my Linux computer. This 
should be put after all of the original encoding because it is going to 
change it. This list includes all of the characters that I need for Spanish. 
Put this in one of your PS files and see if it makes the letters á. é, í, ó, 
ú, ü, ñ appear correctly. If it does, we can add the others that you need.


%Start Font Re-encoding Procedure
/reencsmalldict 12 dict def
/ReEncodeSmall
{ reencsmalldict begin
/newcodesandnames exch def
/newfontname exch def
/basefontname exch def
/basefontdict basefontname findfont def

{ dup /Encoding eq

} forall

newcodesandnames length 2 idiv
{ newfont /Encoding get 3 1 roll put}
repeat
newfontname newfont definefont pop
end
} def

8#372 /uacute
8#374 /udieresis
8#301 /Aacute
8#311 /Eacute
8#315 /Iacute
8#323 /Oacute
8#332 /Uacute
8#334 /Udieresis
8#361 /ntilde
8#321 /Ntilde
] def
%End Font Re-encoding Procedure


After you have defined the re-encoding procedure, you have to apply it. This 
is what i use to re-encode Helvetica, Times and Courier in one of mine:

*
%start Font Re-encoding
/Helvetica /Helvetica-Span spanvec
ReEncodeSmall
/Helvetica-Bold /Helvetica-Bold-Span spanvec
ReEncodeSmall
/Helvetica-Italic /Helvetica-Italic-Span spanvec
ReEncodeSmall
/Times-Roman /Times-Roman-Span spanvec
ReEncodeSmall
/Times-Bold /Times-Bold-Span spanvec
ReEncodeSmall
/Times-Italic /Times-Italic-Span spanvec
ReEncodeSmall
/Courier /Courier.Span spanvec
ReEncodeSmall
%End Font Re-encoding
***

The last step is to change the line that names the font in the code. It is 
usually a line like:

/Helvetica findfont 14 setfont

But I see you have 14 /_Helvetica-Bold setfont I think this means they have 
defined a procedure earlier for the findfont step. Probably you can just 
change the word Helvetica-Bold to Helvetica-Bold-Span

The suffix -Span is what I named my newly encoded font. You just add it to 
what ever font you are going to change.

I hope some of this works for you,

Don

Re: getting cgi running on linux server

2007-03-14 Thread Björnke von Gierke


Hi Robert

You might try to check some of these things:

1. Does the Server/Host allow the use of third party CGI engines?
2. Does your Hello.cgi file also have execute permissions?
3. Is the first line of your Hello.cgi text file correct? (Should be 
#!something if your executable's name is something)
4. The link you mentioned creates a tar file, which is a way to allow 
multiple files inside one tgz (unlike zip, which can contain many 
files). You need a program to untar the files. However, that is the 
full Linux distribution, and you only want the engine, so I would 
suggest you check out the following link:

ftp://ftp.runrev.com/pub/revolution/downloads/engines
Some engines won't work, if i remember correctly the 2.5.1 version did 
run for me when i tried it a long time ago. So I would suggest you try 
that one first.


I think these should keep you covered. As for me, this reminds me once 
again of the glaring lack of proper documentation/ressources by RunRev 
regarding CGI scripting.
I wrote a short explanation of CGI's myself, of course it can't match 
Jacque's article, but if you want to read it, you can find it here:

http://bjoernke.com/runrev/cgi.php
In addition to the content on her companies webpage, there's also three 
newsletter entries about CGI's by Jacqueline:

http://www.runrev.com/newsletter/july/issue4/newsletter2.html
http://www.runrev.com/newsletter/july/issue5/newsletter2.html
http://www.runrev.com/newsletter/august/issue6/newsletter2.html

Have a nice Revolution

To add to Björnke's excellent advice, the engines that work with CGI
use the old stack file format, so make sure you save your cgi stacks
using the legacy save option.
