engine crash on open stack
Hi everybody! I am returning to Revolution after some years of inactivity and am currently testing the Enterprise engine Build 610 Version 2.9.0 on Windows. The application I am working on has progressed well and I have a standalone which works fine although needs some refinement. Suddenly I cannot open the stack (one single stack) in Revolution. The engine crashes and closes immediately when I try to open the stack. Possibly I have added something in a script that causes this since I can open other stacks. I did a reinstall of Revolution but the problem persists. Unfortunately I have no earlier version of the stack to fall back on. What do the people that are more experienced with Revolution than I am, say? Do I have to excavate the scripts from the standalone and start over again? Is this some known bug that others have experienced as well? I was really happy with the current Revolution version until this happened. Now I have a stack which seems to be broken although the engine can't even report if it's broken or not. I believe the stack cannot be opened in an external editor without getting corrupt... Is there a way to correct this problem? Any help would be much appreciated.

Lock messages by clicking on the right icon in Rev tool bar. 3. Use the File menu to open your stack. 4. Put a breakpoint at the beginning of the first handler run when your stack opens (preOpenstack, openStack, openCard, etc.) 5. Send these messages using the message box and see what happens when debugging :-) Best regards from Paris, Eric Chatonet.

waiting time of shell()
Hello, I use put shell(perlupload) into result if result contains xyz then put true into itworked else ... end if with perlupload as a perl program which loads files through proxy http on slow connections to a cgi prog on the server ... and gets the http-HTML-respond page as result. This result is returned to runrev and I want to check the success. This works fine for 90 % of the files but in the case the files have the size of up to 5 MB the perl upload process needs more time than the shell command is patient to wait. The perl process in most cases continues until success, but the return of the shell is empty and therefore my runrev prog never could be sure whether the upload process had been successful or not. I cannot do the upload in runrev native, because it is a special VPN context, which I could not solve in runrev native but in perl. Q1: what is the prefigured waiting time of a shell command in runrev? Q2: can I change this waiting time (let shell the time to work longer for long processes, before it returns control to runrev and says empty as result) Thank you for any advice, Franz Mit freundlichen Grüßen Franz Böhmisch [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.animabit.de GF Animabit Multimedia Software GmbH Am Sonnenhang 22 D-94136 Thyrnau Tel +49 (0)8501-8538 Fax +49 (0)8501-8537 ___ 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

So this message may fire several times in some milliseconds if you move the thumb quickly. On the other hand, 'beep' sound is longer than that. Then if a new beep is required when the previous one is not finished to be played, it's queued and executed when the previous is finished.

Mark Schonewille added I should implement in runrev the protocol with an
authenticated proxy instead of using shell - I tried but only had success in
perl.
I wrote this perl script, put it into a custom prop and replaced the $variables
with the runrev variables with the same name before running it with perl -e.
use strict; use LWP::UserAgent; use HTTP::Request::Common; my $ua =
LWP::UserAgent-new; $ua-proxy(['http', 'ftp'], 'http://$proxyusername:[EMAIL

OOPS! Can't Undo Deleted Objects
My mouse cursor wasn't where it was supposed to be (the search field in the dictionary), but on a button which I was in the middle of writing a script for, and I hit the delete key. The script editor has sprung a close or copy close on me, so I copied and closed. My UNDO won't play, and I can't get the object back. Sure, I can redo the object and paste in the script again. But why is it that I can't get objects back when I accidently delete them? I had to ask, because I lost a whole group earlier (A NOOO) and when it was clear they weren't returning from the grave, I just abandoned it all with the mega gr's. ?

Re: engine crash on open stack
The stack file format changed in 2.7. That shouldn't cause the engine to crash the engine (but who knows, I can make it crash doing very simple things that shouldn't crash it). Is it possible that you can open the stack in a version of Rev that is pre-2.7? If that works, then it looks like that may be the cause of the problem.

sqlite: text dump
Is there a fast way to write out revs sqlite db to a text file. I need to create a regularly versioned database - that is an index which relates to the contents of data in a subversion repository. I'd rather not use binaries as they would over time require too much storage. The idea would be to do a quick text based dump of the database on each commit. Is this possible / fast enough in revs sqlite?* Context* I'm finishing off a code database for RunRev and need to store indexes that point to the controls that the handlers are in. The code is stored as text files for each control, and the indexes need point to these and keep track as the code is moved around during development - so the index / database would differ for each revision (ie revision 678 would differ from from revision 679 and so would the index / database). ___ 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

HTML Color Codes
Last one before I jump into bed and thaw out after sitting at a computer for hours... I was wondering how to translate the RGB names to the HTML equivalent when user selects color with the Color Dialog. For such use as with a html page generator. If it doesn't exist already (though surely it's been done before, and I just can't find it): am I on the right track thinking that an array would be used to hold both code sets, then a function returns the html equivalent rather than the RGB? Or something! Though I know hardly anything about arrays, never used them - only very vaguely know what they are and what they do. Kind of. As I'm off to bed, I'll read up on them, then doze off to the sound of a script typewriter clacking in my Rev-Brainwashed noggin. :D Tia and Goodnight til Oz morn!

Removing CRLF from text

engine crash on open stack
Thank you for your help. Unfortunately suppressing error messages does not do it. The engine crashes and closes immediately and at the exact moment I choose to open the stack. If I remember correctly the last command I put in a script was 'set fixedLineHeight to false'. After that I continued to run the stack for a while without problems. The crash problem occured when I reopened Revolution the next time. Perhaps it is also important to mention that I am developing under Windows Vista.

Re: Removing CRLF from text
Hi Mark, If I follwed this thread even partially, I believe you're just trying to get rid of empty lines. Correct? So why not rebuild the whole thing by examining each line; if it is empty, skip it; otherwise add it to a new var on its next line. Once you've done the whole lot, replace the text with this new var.

Re: HTML Color Codes
I was wondering how to translate the RGB names to the HTML equivalent when user selects color with the Color Dialog. For such use as with a html page generator. If it doesn't exist already (though surely it's been done before, and I just can't find it): am I on the right track thinking that an array would be used to hold both code sets, then a function returns the html equivalent rather than the RGB? Or something! HTML colors are just the same as RGB colors but with the decimal numbers converted to hexadecimal and then run together. So you can calculate one from the other and don't need an array or lookup table. Here is a function for doing the conversion. function RGBtoHTML pRGB put item 1 of pRGB into r put item 2 of pRGB into g put item 3 of pRGB into b put baseconvert(r,10,16) into r put baseconvert(g,10,16) into g put baseconvert(b,10,16) into b return # r g b end RGBtoHTML So you can do something like this: answer color put it into tRGBcolor put RGBtoHTML(tRGBcolor) into tHTMLcolor Cheers, Sarah ___ 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
