Re: [somewhat OT] Text processing question (sort of)
Interesting problem. if you are looking for typos, here are my thoughts. What are the probable errors? Seems to me you have: 1. Typos in individual words 2. Extra spaces in individual words (so that you end up with two words instead of one) 3. Punctuation differences 4. Perhaps words such as; "the", "and", "an" missing from titles. I think I would generate a letter count for each quotation. For your example: "God bless America"George W BushHouston, March 18 2005 "Godi bless America"George W BushHuston, March 18 2005 The quotation letter counts are 2 1 1 0 2 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 for "God bless America" (2 a's, 1 b, 1 c ...) and 2 1 1 0 2 0 1 0 2 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 for "Godi bless America" Then if you sort by these number sets and compare to see how similar each count is, you;ll get potential matches that you should eyeball. For example, These two strings have all but one count exactly the same. I'd go through this process multiple times by rotating the first count to the rear and re-sorting. 1 1 0 2 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 1 1 0 2 0 1 0 2 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 and just keep doing that until every letter has had a chance to be the first in the sort. Basically The thing I'd have it do is find pairs of quotes that appear to be very similar. Then once you have a huge list of potential pairs, have something that displays them to you in pairs so that you can quickly tell the interface to delete one or to skip it. I really do think you are going to want to make no changes to the data unless you look at the matches with your eyeballs. You could very easily end up with two completely different quotes that are extremely similar, just because person B was playing with a famous quote from person A. So long story short, slice and dice the quotes to collect a set of pairs that appear to be similar. Then build a flashcard kind of interface in RunRev that allows you the human to read the two similar quotes and decide whether to delete one or not. I'd combine brute force with human visuals. 4 lines seems like a small data set for brute force.

OT: Web Gallerie for windows? and privacy
Hi Tiemo, One place to start is to investigate any photo editing software you might already have--Photoshop can generate a web gallery, as can iView, and maybe Word. You will usually want to tweak the resulting output. Unfortunately, Galerie is only for Mac-- a nice little program from some generous and talented people. Good luck in your search. Wilhelm, were there swimming pools there? ;^) Presenting the photos with no captions is my attempt at a workaround for trying to post an entertainment while dealing with vexing (to me, at least) privacy issues in a world of ubiquitous cameras and internets. So, did anyone get pictures of the kingsnake and kangaroo rat? :^) That sounded like a great adventure.

No, that doesn't run at all. However I have now got a version that
effectively works in the background.
on mouseUp
-- the Script field contains the full command
put fld "Script" into tCmd
-- make sure it only has Unix line endings and save it to disk
replace numtochar(13) with numtochar(10) in tCmd
put tCmd into URL "binfile:/rsync.sh"
if the result is not empty then
answer the result
exit to top
end if
-- set the permissions to this file is executable
put "chmod 755 /rsync.sh" into tSetPerms
get shell(tSetPerms)
put empty into fld "Result"
-- run the file
open process "/rsync.sh"
-- read the results as they come in, so it appears to run in the background
-- if you are transferring a lot of files, increase this number
repeat with x = 1 to 100
wait 30 ticks with messages
read from process "/rsync.sh" until linefeed
put it into tRes
put x & ": " & tRes after fld "Result"
if last line of tRes contains "total size" then exit repeat
end repeat
-- stop the process
close process "/rsync.sh"
end mouseUp
If just reads from the process twice a second and waits with messages
the rest of the time, so other things can still happen.
I've been testing using Josh's server. Now I need to work out how to
use it with my server
Cheers,
Sarah

A background process is non-blocking. In the example below (IIRC)
"tResult" would receive the process ID from shell().

scrollbar thumb not always appearing
Hello, On one particular Windows pc, the thumb of a scrollbar will not appear unless I widen the scrollbar. However, on several other PC and Window OSs, the very same Rev2.6 stack with the very same scrollbar *does* display its thumb no matter the width of the scrollbar. Because this stack will be deployed over a variety of WinPCs and Win OSs, I'm now worried that there may be other PCs out there that share this problem. Please advise.

I have got this to work but writing a shell command out to file and
then opening that file as a process. Obviously my methods in this
example are insecure, but once the concept is established, it can be
tidied up.
Create a new stack with 2 fields and a button.
Name the fields "Script" and "Result".
Copy & paste this into the Script field (watch for line wraps - there
are only 4 lines).
#!/usr/bin/expect -f
spawn rsync -avzrt
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/revcoder/public_html/revcoder_rsync_test/
/revcoder_rsync_test
expect "password:" { send "cookies\n"}
expect "#"
Put this into the script of the button and click it:
on mouseUp
-- the Script field contains the full command
put fld "Script" into tCmd
-- make sure it only has Unix line endings and save it to disk
replace numtochar(13) with numtochar(10) in tCmd
put tCmd into URL "binfile:/rsync.sh"
if the result is not empty then
answer the result
exit to top
end if
-- set the permissions to this file is executable
put "chmod 755 /rsync.sh" into tSetPerms
get shell(tSetPerms)
-- run the file
open process "/rsync.sh"
-- tweak these settings to make sure it waits long enough for the result
read from process "/rsync.sh" for 500 in 10 seconds
put it into tRes
-- stop the process
close process "/rsync.sh"
-- show the result
put tRes into fld "Result"
end mouseUp
Your example commands should happen without any intervention. The
Result field will display what happened.
To make it better, the password could be encrypted and stored in a
custom property and only inserted into the script when needed. The
file should also be deleted after use as it has the password in plain
text.
For me, the main problem is that the process is blocking. I would love
a faster alternative to Rev's FTP commands, but I can't have it
blocking everything else. Is there a way to open a process in a
non-blocking manner, perhaps by redirecting it's output to a file and
checking it every now & then to estimate progress?

Sarah

How about using the compress function to compare 'pairs' of lines. If the length of each compressed string is similar and it is more or less the same as the length of the combined and compressed strings then you've almost certainly got a 'match'.

Computationally-intensive operations can, and arguably should, be performed purely in memory, with no updates to the GUI until it comes time to display the result. In this manner, Rev and Perl have much in common. Since Perl is an interpreted language and uses Regex for much of its pattern-matching abilities, I'd be interested to see how the same algorithm also implemented in Transcript compares. My hunch is that if the program you mentioned were crafted with the same inputs and outputs in a well-optimized manner in both Perl and Transcript, that the Transcript version would perform at least as well.

Here's what I did - measure the distance from the clickH to the left of the object, divide by the current zoom factor, then multiply by the new zoom factor. Then after scaling the image, set the left of the image to the center of the card, minus the new distance. Do the same for the top.

Re: regex question
J. Landman Gay wrote: In my RevLive presentation I addressed this kind of processing, and showed the results of a number of speed tests. It turns out that a "repeat for each" loop is almost 200 times faster than a regex expression. My own benchmarking over the years yields similar results. In fact, given that Rev's Regex engine is quite similar to the one in Perl, I'd be surprised if Perl is any faster at such tasks (but always willing to hear of benchmarks to the contrary). The value of Regex is its convenience for the developer, but its highly-generalized nature implies a level of overhead that will impair performance relative to more specialized solutions. There are no doubt some expressions in Regex that will benchmark faster due to the number of step needed to accomplish them by other means, but on the whole I find crafting one-offs using "repeat for each" to be faster by at least an order of magnitude for a surprisingly wide range of tasks. Even with mere runtime compilation, many Rev string tasks perform on par with systems that make you deal with the old-school runtime-compile cycle. Now imagine how much faster still things could be if Rev took advantage of the fact that all three supported platforms now use the Intel instruction set, and implemented true machine-level compilation (drool, drool) -- Richard Gaskin Managing Editor, revJournal ___ Rev tips, tutorials and more: http://www.revJournal.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: regex question

Hi list,
Does anyone have a regex to remove any text between parenthesis
(including the
parenthesis) ?
I've tried many options, but none seems to work perfectly...
For instance :
"\(\)"removes only parenthesis with no text inside
I've also tried this : "\([a-z 0-9 ]+\)", but no luck...
In my RevLive presentation I addressed this kind of processing, and
showed the results of a number of speed tests. It turns out that a
"repeat for each" loop is almost 200 times faster than a regex
expression. My test did something very similar to what you want to do;
in my case, I was removing all html from a web page but it would be just
as easy to substitute parentheses for the "<" and ">" characters I was
looking for.
The key is using the offset function along with its "skip" paramenter to
find the first character (left parentheses in your example), then
getting the offset of the second character (right parentheses) and
extracting the data around it.
Here is my test example which should be easy for you to modify:
function removeRepeat pData
repeat for each line l in pData
put 0 into tSkip
repeat
put offset("<",l,tSkip) into tStart
if tStart = 0 then exit repeat
put char tSkip+1 to tSkip+tStart-1 of l & space after tNewData
add tStart to tSkip
put offset(">",l,tSkip) into tEnd
if tEnd = 0 then exit repeat
add tEnd to tSkip
end repeat
put cr after tNewData
end repeat
filter tNewData without empty
return tNewData
end removeRepeat

How about this: put replaceText(tText,"\(.*\)","") into tText You may need to deal with extra spaces left behind by removing this stuff, but it should work. Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software, Inc.

Im talking now with one of the event organizers there about this. Wordpress had their "wordcamp" in Portland in conjunction with BarCamp - what about a "RevCamp" or "ValentinaCamp"? Ive set up an RSVP here: http://miryesoftware.ning.com/events/event/show?id=1985969:Event:1642 Please comment on your interest and if you are thinking about attending. It's a short 3.5 hour drive up from Portland to Seattle so Im going to be there.

Try this: make a new stack add field "input" and field "output" then this handler in the stack script -start copy on mouseDoubleUp get fld "input" put "(?U)\(.*\)" into regEx put replaceText(it, regEx, "") into ans repeat for each word WRD in ans put WRD & space after smoothAns end repeat put smoothAns into fld "output" end mouseDoubleUp -end copy the regEx says "open paren, then any character, repeating until a close paren is found. the (?U) says to find the shortest match rather than the longest possible match. RegEx defaults to finding the longest possible match. Hope this helps.

Re: Zooming to Center
Hi Mark: I should have written instead: 1. Place the original loc of the image into a local variable called OriginalLoc. 2. Then include "set the loc of image "The Image" to OriginalLoc" inside every iteration of the loop that is zooming your image. I'm assuming that you were having no trouble with the zooming repeat loop. Paul Gabel - Just include "set the loc of image "The Image" to the screenLoc" inside every iteration of the loop that is zooming your image.
